In the case against the Rebersburg hotel Mr. Miller was called in support of the charge in the remonstrance that landlord Long sold to minors. He testified to liquor having been furnished James Confer, when he was not of age until No- vember 3rd. Asked as to the time when liquor was furnished Confer Mr. Miller stated in May, 1914. But as that was too far back it could not be used against the present application, and Mr. Miller stated that he saw nothing this year. Samuel Shaffer, however, testified that he saw Confer come out of the hotel in- toxicated either in May or June of this year; also that landlord Long was a very profane man around the hotel. Mr. Bierly, a school teacher, also testi- fied that Mr. Long was very profane about the hotel, and had gotten him ina | room one time and given him an awful | talking to.

Long, of the Rebers- burg hotel, and Lewis E. Stover of the Coburn hotel, produced considerable tes- timony in their behalf. Quite a number of witnesses, good, reputable men, were present from Rebersburg and Miles town- ship who testified that Mr. Long was neither the drunkard nor the profane man testified to by several witnesses last Saturday. D. R. Foreman, prothonotary, was amopg the number called in Mr. Long’s behalf and he testified that he spent a night and the biggest part of a day at Long's hotel during his campaign tour and he never was treated better anywhere and that Long was not under the influence of liquor while he was there. In behalf of Lewis E. Stover a number of witnesses testified that he was very careful about selling to men under the influence of liquor or men of known in- temperate habits. Regarding the claim that he refused to furnish meals Mr. Stover denied it absolutely, with the ex- ception of Miles Breon, and that happen- ed over three years ago and he claimed a good reason for doing so then. After hearing the above testimony court adjourned until Wednesday of next week, when the hearings will be contin- ued. : « ———— ——After filling up on Christmas tur- key and other good things tomorrow go to the Scenic and enjoy an hour or two of a fine motion picture program.
