D. Saxe told him and fined him § and costs. “At first I was inclined to think that you | were only a tool in the business car- ried on there, but your explanation | was not fair and honest. T still doubt | that you profited to any great extent, | | however, and T am taking into con- | sideration the fact that this is your | first offense and you have a wife and | |two children, also a job to go to. ! You stick to your job. You did not tell me the truth all the way through | your explanation.” In the case of Glycek, Judge Saxe | imposed a fine of $200 and costs and | a jail sentence of 30 days. Glycek in 11926 was fined $200 and costs and | sentenced to jail for 15 days, so he | stood today as a second offender. al- though he denied that he had ever seen the police “agent,' Harry Sieremita of 4 Union street, who | testified that he bought liquor in the | | store a number of times prior to | | October 15. | Liquor Served in Dark | Rergeant T. J. Feeney testified | that the store is filthy and poorly | stocked, and he has seen men of drinking habits in and about there, notably on Sunday. He often saw Zamboni standing in the doorway and running in when the witness approached, and the manner of serving liquor is to extinguish the | lights for a short time and then turn them on and dismiss the cus- | tomers, according to the sergeant. | Officers E. B. Kiely and John M. Liebler testified that they sent the | “agent" to buy liquor on October 15, ! giving him a marked bill. When he returned, he had 50 cents and a bot- | tie of ginger ale and alcohol. They | went to the store at once and found | ‘the marked bill in the cash register. | Zamboni, who was in the store, ad- mitted that he had sold the “agent"” a drink and a “shot” which the “agent” put in a bottle and mixed with ginger ale, whereupon Officer | Liebler, taking a key off the wall, used it to open the door of a toilet on | the back. Lifting the cover of the | flushing box, he found a bottle part- ly full of alcohol. Officer Willlam Grabeck testified that he has had occasion to order intoxicated men away from the vi- cinity of the store, and. the “agent” described the purchase of the evi- dence, after which Glycek made his denfal of the charges. He said canned pork and beans were featur- | ed in his stock. although he also sold milk in cans. Tells Judge Fairy Tale Zamboni testified that he had been out of employment for three weeks and “hung out” in the store, Sun- day night, October 14, he had a card game at his home and sent one George Selander out to buy some Liquor. George spent $1 for a bottle and part of the contents was dis- posed of during the evening. The next day, Zamboni took what was left in the bottle and went to the | store, intending to take a nip when he wished. Glycek asked him to wait on the trade for a while, as he wanted to go to breakfast, and a few minutes later, the “agent” came in and asked for a “shot.”, saying that | he had been drinking and felt sick. | Zomboni thought he would make a little money by selling him a few | t LOGES RESERVED Jim Tully’s Famous Story of the ‘Wanderlust— A Drama That Lays Bare the Heart of the Wanderer—Here Today—Gone Tomorrow!

When the police entered, they found | the dollar bill in the cash register. Likes His Liquor Cool Relative to the bottle which Offi- | cer Liehler found, Zamboni said he liked his liquor well cooled so he {put it in the water box to keep it m getting warm between nips. He | said Glycek did not employ him or pay him and knew nothing whatever of the incident between him and the gent” beforchand. He did not | charge the “agent” for the ginger ale, he said.

After hearing Attorney Ginsburg, | Judge Saxe said, the evidence con- vinced him of the guilt of Glycek ' and Zamboni, but he was inclined to be lenient with the latter for the reasons stated.
