Officer Hickey proceedad about 1liis Lusiness and selzed a liquor as evidenee. A4 a penalty for Lynch, Mr. Aleorn suzgested a fine of $1,000 and five months in jail, Speaks of Lyneh's Good Reecord Judge William J. Malone of Bristol, counsa! for Lynch, made an impres- sive plea for his client. He said that (he leglslature had made the penalty for a convicted second offender $1,000 ond sis months in jail, but he did not helieve that the legislators intended or expected that the maximum penalty should he imposed on all who were | lLrought before the court. He said that cvery case should be decided on its own merits, stating that in Jeristol court, where he presides, this is customary. “Mr, Lynch's all is invested in the Southington Inn,” Mr. Malone said. Vo matter what you honor may do, he is through with the hotel business. He is going to withdraw. Mr. Lynch is married and has three children. Until he entcred the hotel he had @ wery croditable record. 1 don’t think the necessities of the law 1equire your honor to send this man to jail for five months. 1 suggest that 40 days would be sufficient.” Attorney Edward B. Reilly of Wat- erbury, who appeared for Lynch when he was arrested last December,. told the court that at that time the ov dence against Lynch consisted of one bottle of Vermouth which had not heen opened ,and a very small quan- tity of wine, “I have known time,". Attorney Reilly said. “We are hoth residents of Waterbury. He has @ lovable wife and three children. His only mistake was to go into the hotel husiness. He will be punished by los- ing évery dollar he owns in the world. tie is not a hardened criminal, Nor is he a bootlegger who has profited largely by Mis operations " Alcorn Speaks of Corruption, In reply, State's Attorney Alcorn #aid: “Your honor must appreciate the fact that Lynch ‘took a chance.’ “To the shame of these three men (referring to Mills, Covert and Dehm) and to the shame of the state of Connectiout, they were found in the back room of the inn., The most re- grettable thing today is the corrup- tion In the enforcement of the pros hibition law. To think that an en- forcement officer sits in ghe room of a hotel drinking, to think that a state official is there, to think that a city official is there is aston- ishing. Of course Lynch thought he Was protected, and as far as the in- fluence of these men, poiltical or otherwisc, is concerned, he was pro- tected.” In pronouncing his finding, Judge Kellogg said that he did not believe the case warranted the extreme pen- alty nor the nominal pgpalty, but he did believe that a |\|‘I|“IH,\' sufficiently strong, which would serve as a warn- ing to others, should be imposed. He then fined Lynch $500 and sent him to jall for four mont) Rench Warrants Issued, Immediately after the disposal of the Lynch case, State's Attorney Alcorn said that there were certain ramifications which required atten- tion. He asked the court to issue beneh warrants for Mills, Covert and Dehm. Judge Kellogg remarked that the statute under which Covert and Dehm were held was an -old one which had never been tested. He es- tablished Mills' bond at $1,000, though Mr. Alcorn asked for one of $2,500. - Mr. Alcorn was asked by the “Herald” today to clarity the situa- tion in relation to Covert and Dehm. He said: “They violated the law by entering a place where liquor is sold or reputed to be sold.” Tt is expected that the MWls, Covert and Dehm cases will be called at the December term of superior conrt Tt is said that I'red Beloin hurried back from Cleveland, Ohio, where he was a judge at a racing meet, to put Up the bond for Mills, for whom he has a great attachment.
