FIND REAL OWNER OF ANDREWS HOUSE Property in Name of Man Who, Was Under Arrest A few minutes before Charles Andrews was to be put to plea court this morning on a charge that he violated the state tenement house act, Inspector A. Rutherford learned that Andrews' wife is the owner of the building, and a con- tinuance was asked to December 28, The permit under which a two- family house was built on Lake Boulevard was issued to Gladys S. Andrews, daughter of the man against whom a warrant was issued. The building department assumed he was the owner of the premises ‘and when complaints wore received from neighbors his the name men- tioned in conferences with the prosc- cutor. Investigation this morning showed that the assessors carry the | property under the name of Mrs. Andrews and an amendment to the complaint muet be made unless An- drews agrees to assume responsibil- ity. The complaint in the case alleges that a two-family ho s con- verted into a three-family dwelling and that three infractions of the tenement house act accompanied the change. Aftorney Isracl Nair was in court todfiy to defend r. Andrews. !

The fine imposed. was $100 on each of three counts with costs add- ed. "An appeal bénd of 8300 was filed.

GOURT BLACKLISTS 220 HIGH STREET lOperator o “Speak Easy” Draws Down $175 Fine Joseph Andzejezyk, aged 34, of 157 Broad street, pleaded guilty to the charge of selling liquor in a store at 220 High street in police court this morning. Detective Sergeant ‘EHIIIKEI‘ testified that he and Officer Strolls raided the stor last I'riday evening and seized a bottle of al- cohol in a soda water box. Andze- | jezyk admitted that he sold alcohol ! for 25 cents a drink, the police raid- ers testified. Officer John C. Stadler testified | that he has observed the store and \men of drinking habits patronize it. 1t is opgn from 6:30 to 8 a. m.; 11:30 a. m., to 1 p. m.; 4:45 to 8 p. m. The greatest number of customers |can be found in there after 5 p. m. {Officer Stadler was so certain that liquor could be bought there that when he turned over the search war- | !rant to Sergeant Ellinger, he also told him where and how to find the evidenge. Attorney Golon, defense counsel, jclaimed that the count of reputation | has not becn proven. The mere fact that Officer Stadler | was told that liquor could be pur- chased in the store is not sufficient Ito conylct, he contended, and in view | of the plea of guilty on the selling count, he asked for leniency. Prose- cuting Attorn: Woods replied that ! when Qfficer Stadler said the store | has the reputation of being a place | |where liquor can be purchased, he | stolrl nothing hut what he knew. “He |has done his work well for the state | of Comnecticut,” the prosecuting at- | \torney said. | “Officer Stadler observed the place s0 sharply he was able to tell Ser- geant Pllinger exactly where to find the alcohol. 1 ask for conviction on both counts.” | | Judge Alhns merged the counts ud imposed a fine of 3175 and costs and suspended jall sentegce of 30 days. “I want to announce right now that the next person convicted |of violating the liquor law at 220 High street will go to jafl whether it is the first, second or fifth offense,"” the judge said. A store at 10 Silver street, which | was raided last Thursday, is open |daily from €30 a. m., to about § p. |m., as a general rule but the hours vary, according to testimony of Offi- 'cer John C. Stadler in the cases of | "Leon Honiski, aged 31, of 475 Bur- |ritt strect, and Alex Klepacki aged |16, of 42 Silver street, charged with violation of the liquor law. Factory employes patronize the store, and ,Women and children seldom go into | it, the officer said. Judge W. F. Mangan represented both men and cross-examined the of- ficer at length about entrfes the of- | ficer made on a shect of paper as a result of his observations of the store. The officer testificd to seeing Klepacki standing outside the store door and pass a bottle ip to Honiski, jwho later passed it back to him. On the day of the arrests, Officers | |Stadler and Cosgrove saw Klepacki ' |outside the store. “Te had bottles of {liquor in his pocket and tucked un- ider his belt. ‘ A glass having the odor of moon- shine was insid~ the store.

George Tormay of 1076 St&mnley street testi- fled that he was with Dyson and Lester Parsons and John Hadack on Nov. 20 when they had drinks in the store. They figured in an auto- mobile accident that night. 4 Asked if they bought whiskey, Tormay replied: “It was supposed to be” He identified Honiski as the man who sold it ani Klepacki as the doorkeeper. Prosecutinyr Attorney Woods ask- | ed for convictions in both cases | both were in a conspiracy to cheat | and evade the law and make money thereby. Judge Mangan, after hearing the | evidence, said it is only an ordinar liquor case and simply because the defense is content to hear the state's | case without rebuttal it cannot be construed to mean that it is an un- usual case. Judge Alling ordered the revoca- tion of a 30 days' jail sentence which | anuary 19, 192 a $200 fine and sus- in | tand imposed Honicki's case. In the Klepacki case, he said em- | ployment in a place where liquor is | sold does not give a boy of 16 years | the surroundings he should have and in ordering a suspended rcom- reformatory at Cheshire, he warned Klepacki that another appearance in court will re. sult in his commitment. {Langley’s Companions Also Are Given Parole ‘Washington, Dec. 20 (A-—DMilton | Lipschutz, of Philadelphia | Huth, of Alliance, Ohlo, and Walter B.
