IN CITY COURT
FOR A MONTH
Twenty -Seven Intoxica
tion Cases
CONVICTIONS EXCEPT ONE
There Were Nine Cases of Breach of
the Peace Number is Considerably
Larger Than Last Year.
Since the licensed saloons went into it
eration in this city, or from May 1st. to
June 1st., there have been 3(1 arrests by
the police department of the city and the
deputies of the town on charges of Intoxl-"
cation and breach of the peace. Of these
cases which have been before Judge Fay
in City court there have been convictions
in all with a single exception.
There were 27 arrests for intoxication
and three of the parties arrested were con
victed of a second offence. Nine of the to
tal number of eases were for breach of the
peace.
Compared with the number of arrests
in the other cities of the state the number
Is small. Burlington had SO arrests for
intoxication in the same length of time.
Rutland had Oti for the same offense. Mont
pelier's record is also considerably larger
than that of Barre.
The comparative figures of this year's
arrests and last year's shows that for the
month of May in l'.H)2, there were nine
cases in city court, one for the offence of
breach of the peace and the others for in
toxication.
The Increase in the number of arrests
for this year will mean to some, a proof of
the non-desirability of the new license law
which was recently enacted by the Ver
mont legislature, while to others the in
crease proves rather that the law against
lutoxication is being more rigidly enforced
iu this city than it was last year. The
latter state in substantiation of their be
lief that strict orders were given the po
lice department by the mayor to arrest all
those who are found intoxicated, ami that
those orders are being carried out.

of a reputation in Boston last summer
through his efforts to sell kindling wood
in bundles, made one of his occasional

rest a certain woman in town who had his
niekie-plated. eight-dollar watch with a
bundle of clothes, and wouldn't give thorn
up.
Findlay explained that he had left the
articles at the woman's house three years
ago for safe keeping. Now that he wauts
to get them he is not able to do so. Find
lay wanted the officer to arrest the wom
an immediately and volunteered to go w ith
the officer and point her out. But the offi
cer told him he cotild not arrest the wom
an until he had a warrant. With that
Findlay went off, presumably in search of
a warrant, .but the last seen of him he was
munching his evening lunch on the Na
tional Bank comer. The woman is btill
unarrested. .
