#AGEZ EIGHT Four Month Term on Charge of Selling Liquor Megally Archie Minor, proprietor of a resâ€" taurant and confectionery store, across the Mattagami River bridge was given a four month term in jail on Wednesâ€" tUay morning when he appeared before Magistrate Alkinson on a charge of gelling liquor, preferred by the Timâ€" mins detachment of the Ontario Proâ€" vincial police. He had entered a plea of not guilty and was defended by Gregzory Evans. Before passing sentence the magisâ€" trate read the accused‘s record and it included several previous convictions under the LCA. Defence council made the statement that the man had not been arrested in the past two years and to that the magistrate replied that they had not caught him in the past two years. Defence council then a@dded that the police force was supâ€" posed to be efficient and that if they were they would have caught him if he had been engaged in any illicit business. The magistrate replied that the Provincial police force here had become efficient only in the past few thonths. Mountjoy Township has alâ€" ways been regarded as wideâ€"open, the magistrate said, and lately the Provinâ€" cial Police were making a determined effort to clean it up. It was a nice compliment for the present provincial police staff. Constable Stromberg, of the Ontario Provincial Police detachment in Timâ€" mins, said that 1230 in the morning of May 31st they had raided the estabâ€" lishment that was run by Archie Minor. across the bridge. The raid had followed a period of observation. He had kept cbservation on the place for three nights before and on that night he had climbed to the top of a shed that was attached to the rear of the building and was looking into the house. He saw six persons in one room, thres having glasses and the other three having bottles in their hands. At one time he saw one Oof the men in the room receive a bottle of bestr from Minor and then saw the man give Minor some silver. He also saw Minor having glasses and the other three having bottles in their hands. At one time he saw one of the men in the room receive a bottle of besr from Minor and then saw the man give Minor some silver.. He also saw Minor go into another room and bring oul a bottle of liquor. After watching the place for a while he descended friam his spot on the roof and sent Constaible Lynch up to take his place. Cnnstable Lvnch said that while he Constable Lynch said that while ne was on the roof top he saw Archie Minor pour a drink of liquor in a glass and hand it to one of the men in the room. The man then gave Minor a bill and Minor gave him some change for it. The constable said that he had entered . the house through the door that he was watching through. , In the cro:sâ€"examination of both these witnesses the defence tried to estabiish the fact that the money that changed hands was pavyment for some sandâ€" wiches that the men had ordered and nrot for the beer. Archie Minor, in taking the s:.and | in his own defence, said that when the | midway had moved in across the street, ' they had all come to his place to room | and he had promised the men a drink ; for renting all his rooms. i The night that the police came in was the night that he was giving the | party for the men, he said. He h:® ) given them sandwiches and had also | given them some beer and liquor. The | men had wanted some more sandwiches f and had ordered them from him. That | was the money that the police had seen ' changing hands. | At the conclusion of Minor‘s test.i-l. mony the magistrate said that he was i going to find the man guilty and | passed sentence of three months. The | crown attorney then got to his feet,{ and said that he would like to ask for | a stiffer sentence because the man was recognized as one of the biggest "bootâ€" l leggers" in the country. | S One Man Dismissed on Charge Keeping Liquor for Sale Fernand Laberge, charged by . the provincial police wih keeping for sale, garned a dismissal on Wednesday morning in police court here when the magistrate decided that there was not enough evidence to convict the man. The defence was not asked to present @n argument. Several times during the hearing the magistrate asked the defence attomey,l J. E. Lacourciere, to speed up his crossâ€"examination and not to ask soi many unnecessary questions. Finally | before he dismissed the case, t-het magistrate told the defence attorney that he would not have a chance tol gall his witnesses and take up any| more of the cour‘s time as he was going to dismiss the charge. : â€" Constable Stromberg gave the first; bit of crown evidence and said that he had raided the establishment that was run by Laborge at 145 a m. on] May 30th. He had also raided Lhel same place on May 10th, he saic, and J. E. Lacourciere, to crossâ€"examination and many unnecessary qu On the night of the second raid two cars were on the road just cutside the placs and two more cars were inside the fence on the property oi the acâ€" cused. Nine people were in the house drinking and the accused was able to name eight of them. The accused had told him that they were friends of his. After the raid they arrested the man and were taking him to Timmins when two more cars appeared and the acâ€" cused didn‘t know any of the peopie in them. The constable then explainâ€" ed that on the first raid on May 10th, three people had been found in the place drinking and when the woman had said that she was running the place she had been warned. Both Constable Stromberg and Conâ€" stable Lynch told of the amount of beer that was found at the place and how the man had told them that he had not been working for some tim®. The man had described himself as a prospector. at that time a woman had been in charge of the place. This same woinâ€" an was at the place when the second rald took place on May 30th.
