Second beer case hearing opens as Faletti license revoked
Fayette County judge R J Thrift Jr revokes Charles Faletti's Mount Hope beer license after a February 1946 juvenile beer sale. The ruling allows 30 days to dispose of stock and bars further purchases. The Berghoff Grill owner Fred Huber faces a later hearing. Nellie Smith faces similar charges at Smith's Place. Witnesses described underage beer purchases and observed intoxication, with defense questioning credibility.
