Five Stolen Bottles Taken by Two In Court
In police court five stole bottles were tried as part of drunkenness cases. John Shea was sentenced to the State farm for drunkenness while Louis Talbot faced a not guilty verdict after testimony denying intoxication. Talbot claimed a fight, a single afternoon drink, and probation status as reasons, with two witnesses supporting his non intoxication. Judge Hadley sentenced Talbot to four months in jail, and Mahony, a deaf mute, received four months after a dramatic exchange in the courtroom. The article notes cadences of biblical names and hints at future references as one account continues on page seven.
