. Policoman Says Many Are Not REMAINS ~ Yet Aware of Prohibition Some people don’t know yet that there are prohibition laws on tie books. Take it from Policeman Ed- ward B. Kiely, who testified in a raid case in police court today. Boleslaw Kortkowski, 35, of 15 Silver street, and Julius Wallin, 40, of 2¢5 Broad street, pleaded not guilty to the charge of violation of the liquor law in a store at 10 Silver street. Attorney Harry M. Ginsburg represented them. ‘Wallin has had the store since March an he admitted that liquor was sold on the, premises for 25 cents a drinl Last Friday night about 10:20 c'clock the officer, accompanied by Sergeants O'Mara and McAvay, pull- ed up in front of the store in a clos- ed car driven by Sergeant McAvay, and Kortkowski ran out into the street and Officer Kiely and Sergeant McAvay gave chase, the former -catching him and the latter recov- ering a bottle which Kortkowski threw over a fence. There was a small quantity of li- quor in it and Kortkowski, accord- ing to Officer Kiely, adiitted that his job was to carry the bottle, out of which drinks were served. The store has a bad reputation, Officer Kiely said. There have been reveral owners, Kortkowski's wife having taken it over from a man and transferred it to Wallin about a month ago. The owner who preced- ed Mrs. Kortkowski had it only a tew weeks. Debate on Prohibition Asked by Prosecuting Attorney Woods as to the length of time the store has been in existence, Officer Kiely replied: “Since prohibition.” “What do you mean, since prohibi- tion ?"" Attorney Ginsburg asked. “Why, we're supposed to have pro- hibition and this place has been open since it went into effect,” the officer replied. e “I was just wondering whether you knew just when prohibition went ‘nto effect. Some people don't ‘know,” the aitorney said. “Not yet,” Officer IKiely leaving the stand. * Jumps Fence 10 Get Evidence adid, Sergeant P. A. McAvay testified | that he recovered the bottle after jumping the fence and found that it Fad no cork and it was evident that some of the contents had been wpilled. Kortkowski told the ser- geant he had been arrested three times for violation of the liquor law and he did not want to get into more trouble. He admitted that “liquor ‘was sold in the store for 25 “toter, cents a drink. Five Cents for Smell of Cork “Twenty-five cents a drink, some- times not s0 much. and five cents for a smell of the cork” was the way Kortowski expressed it, the sergeant said. “How much doen that figire for a glass?" Judge Saxe asked. Cross-examined by Attorney Gins- burg, Sergeant MvAvay said he did not know whether Kortowski owned the Lattle of liquor as his own per- sonal property or not, but he read- ily admitted that he was the bottle Wallin also admitted that liquor was sold on the premises. Bergeant O'Mara testified that the store has been raided several times In the past few years. He recalled | POOR PA BY CLAUDNFE CALLAN “I wish T hadn't bought but one of these razors that was on sale. I bought two just becausze the limit was two to a customer.” ‘Copyright 1929. Publishers Syndicate) NEW BRIT that he had received a complaint from Officer Charles Weare a short time ago that the atore was a nui- sance and he wanted to know when the liquor squad: was going to raid t The night of the raid there was one man “feeling pretty good." Ser- geant O'Mara testified. Attorney Ginsburg wanted to know whether or not it was unusual to see men in- toxicated in stores in this city. Sergeant O'Mara replied that it was not unusual in that store. At- torney Ginsburg asked if it was un- usual in other stores in that gection of the city. Judge Saxe remarked that he thought as a general propo- {sition it was unusual to see intoxi- cated men in stores in New Britain. | Rendezvous for Drinking Men | Officer Weare testified that the | store is a rendezvous for drinking | men and he warned Wallin several times . One man whose name he had on paper which he handed to Attorney | Ginsburg frequents the place seven | nights a week, going in sober and | coming out intoxicated. Since he has | been on the beat he has never seen |anyone come out with parcels, he | |said. { At this point a continuance until {Saturday was taken because the de- | fense wanted 10 summon witnesses | who were not in attendance.
