Found Not Guilty Of
Sunday Liquor Sale

A Colmar Manor liquor dealer
yesterday was found not guilty of
selling liquor on Sunday despite
a Prince Georges County prose-
cutor's plea to the judge to be-
lieve the disputed testimony OF a

prietor Of Larry's Liquor and Deli
catessen at 3703 Bladensburg road,
Colmar Manor, was acquitted by
Judge Theodore R. Manga in

Court.
He was arrested Sunday by Dep
uty Sheriff Guy Curtis and Rookie
Pvt. o. O. Husk, who disguised
himself as the driver Of a trac-
tor-trailer truck police rented for

vile, testified they were in the
store at the time and did not
see any sale made to the dis
guised policeman.
In his summation, Assistant
States Attorney Wilmer D. Pyles
urged Judge Manga to take the
word of the policeman against that
of the defense witness. If that is
not to be the policy Of the court,
Mr.. Pyles declared. then there's
no use bringing these cases to
trial"
eff the defense can show any
reason why an officer should come
into court with a false case" Mr..
Pyles added, I'm as anxious to
find that out as anybody"
Judge Manga commented, in
finding the liquor dealer innocent.
that the State had not proved
guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
Mr.. Palermo was represented by

retains the present property tax
rate and provides for no new taxes.

the recommended school budget,
but the requested increase in
