Mrs. Piskowski, who' altrays de- nies tle testimony of the police, fook the witness stand and - claimed o have been in the kitchen when Ser- geant Stadler called. As to Officer Bleomquist's testimony that hé had information of liquor sales in ‘the tencment, Mrs. Piskowski admitted that she permitted drinking but de- nied that she sold liquor. The men referred to by Sergeant O'Mara were drinking to cclebrate Easter, “she said. Murzyn admitted that he was In- toxicated. He brought a bottle "of liquor to Mrs. Piskowski's tenemernit but he did not buy anything to drink from her, he said: He was so intok!- cated, he claimed, that he was barély able to stand when he was arrested. “It:don’t hurt to go'to see Pecplé on a holiday as long as you don’t have bad intentions,” he said. The charges against Murzyn and the woman were drunkenness and improper conduct. She was further charged with keeping a disorderly house and he was charged with ffc- quenting it.
