McDonough repre- ! sented Partyka and claimed a dis- | charge on the ground that the| charges had not been proven.

The judge said the defense is somewhat similar to that offered in | the Ukrainian hall case which was | tried a few days ago, but is not as | strong at the latter. In the case in| question, there was evidence offered | that Partyka was in charge of a bar room in Sokol hall at 45 Sexton street where intoxicated men were | found by the police.
