ANTI LIQUOR LAW
VIOLATOR FINED
J. J. Topol.sky was fined $100 by
United States Commissioner Hugh
O’Neill Thursday afternoon, following
his conviction by a jury in the com
missioners Court Wednesday on a
charge of violating the anti liquor
la\ys of the Territory by having in
toxicating liquors in his possession.
Topolsky ,a widely known old time
resident was arrested by representa
tives of the Marshal’s office shortly
before Christmas on a charge of hav
ing intoxicating liquor in his pos
session. In a search of the defend
ent's residence the officers seized is
evidence a considerable amount of
sour smelling mixture containing
corn, prunes and other materials, also
a quantity of l>eer. The trial of the
ease attracted considerable attention,
almost every inch of space in the
<'onfmissioner's Court room being fill
ed with interested spectators during
the Rearing Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoons District Attorney J. M.
Clements represented the government,
while Attorney O. J. I/omen appeared
for the defendent. The proceedings
Tuesday were confined almost entirely
to argument on a motion offered by
Judge TiOtnen based on legal points
involving the validity of the complaint
and search warrant. Judge Tyumen
occupied the greater i«irt of the ses
sion in setting forth his contentions
regarding the finer points of law in

O’Neill could not see it his way, how
ever. and the motion was overruled.
At the continuance of the hearing
Wednesday afternoon the statements
of the arresting officers were taken
and samples of the beer and mash
were offered in evidence. No testi
mony was offered on behalf of Topol
sky and the defendent was not placed
on the stand.
In the closing arguments Judge
I»mcn contended mainly along the
line that the mixtures introduced as
evidence were not intoxicating. The
Jury debated the problem about forty
minutes before returning a verdict of
guilty. The court pronounced sen
tence Thursday at 2 p. m-, assessing
Topolsky $100 as stated, and also dc?i

portant centers and thence back to
