Court Discharges Him for Lack of Eviderce. TERRYVILLE MEN HEAVLY FINED John Cassineri, Local Expressman, Also Escapes Punishment—Court Rules That Beer Can Be Delivered in Bristol Under Certain Conditions. | Fines and costs amounting to over $400 were imposed in the police court in Bristol today against out-of-town liquor dealers convicted of selling beer in a no-license community, | Judge J. H. Peck of Hartford, who presided at the trial last week in place of the Bristol judges, who considered themselves disqualified, imposing pen- alties on four of the men who ap- beared before him, the other two, John J. Missett and John Cassineri of this place, being discharged for lack of evidence. The heaviest penalty, a fine of $150 and costs, was imposed in the case of John Hotkoski of Terryville, who was convicted on four counts. Fines of $50 and costs were meted out to An- tonio Zimiski and John Glinkoski, ar- | rested as Hotkoski's agents, and | Conrad Michael, another Terryville liquor dealer. All filed notice of ap- | peals to the superior court. The men were in court last week as the result of a campaign waged by the state police against the delivery of liquors into Bristol. The defend- ants put up a strong defense, claim- ing that as they had sold the goods in either Terryvile or Plainville, both 1i- censed places, they were acting with- in their rights in making the delivery in Bristol. The prosecution held that by sending the goods into the neigh- boring city themselves they were liable under the excise laws. While Judge Peck’s decision was a lengthy one, the Bristol pulice said after court that it can hardly be used by them as a guide for their efforts to prevent delivery of beer in the city. They inferred that under certain con- ditions they cannot prevent “wet goods” from coming in, Judge Peck’s ruling implying that a Bristol resi- dent purchasing liquors In either Plainville or Terryville may have the supply delivered to his home provid- ing he arranges himself with a com- mon carrier for its transportation. Judge Peck seemingly does not be- lieve that the law permits the liquor dealers to deliver the goods even though they make the sales in their places of business. Neither can they arrange to have an expressman or other common carrier deliver it for them, that duty being entirely with the individual making the purchase. The latter must also see that the goods are sent to him within forty- eight hours after the purchase 1s made. The carrier must have per- forated orders showing the amount of goods he has on ‘his wagon for each individual and also the time the pur- chase is made. The action of the court, it is ex- pected, will not be entirely satisfac- tory to the temperance people of Bristol, as it apparently will not stop the cargoes of beer and other liquors from going into the city. They have been making a strong effort to keep the place “dry,” and for weeks have had state police investigating the de- liveries made by saloonkeepers here and in Terryville. In the cases of the local men the state was unable to prove that the goods taken from their team were not legitimately sold and delivered. Hence their discharge. Circus Day in Plainville. Plainville was put on the circus map today, the big Haag show having stopped off for two perform- ances at Woodford’s field. It is by far the biggest tent show ever including Plainville in its route and the town took on a circus-day aspect as the re- sult of its visit. The circus arrived here early this morning from Manchester, where it exhibited yesterday, and despite the early hour for which its appearance was scheduled, there were a number on hand to watch the unloading of the equipment. : The outfit is transported on a special train of fourteen cars. Included in its list of exhibits are three huge elephants, fourteen camels and a num- ber of other animals. Ninety horses are ®arried for the show. More than two hundred people are employed by the company and the town was alive with circus performers all day. The street parade which was held shortly before noon attracted con- siderable attention. It was an un- usually elaborate pageant and" the townspeople turned out in large num- bers to view it. The equipment used in the parade showed the results of good care, the horses and their riders were well groomed and everything connected Wwith the outfit looked spick and span. Large crowds were attracted to the grounds this morning while the build- ing of the little tent city was in pro- gress and there were many expres- sions of surprise over the complete- ness of every feature. The afternoon performance drew turned to Hartford, where they are employed. “‘Battling Jim” Johnson was de- feated by Sam Langford in a ten round bout fought in New York last evening.

At the Post Office. Postmaster Prior has been unable to get a satisfactory reply to his com- munications to the department at Washington concerning the failure of street mail boxes to arrive. The re- ceptacles were to have been here a month ago and the postmaster has sent several letters inquiring regard- ing their non-appearance. While the absence of the boxes does not put the townspeople to any great incon- venience as the office is open from eariy in the morning until late at night, the postmaster is anxious to have all features of the city delivery and he will keep in touch with his superiors at Washington until recep- tacles arrive. Advertised letters at the office this week bear the names of Mrs. Chaun- cey Hall, Miss Catherine Phalan and William C. Rowe. Brief Items.
