dismissed
Assistant JMstrlct Attorney James Cay
Gordon, Jr. Ii,ead of acting ns prosecutor
as he did In tho Fifth Wnrd case, defended
Sullivan. After hearing the evidence MaR
Istrate Pennock ruled that Inasmuch as

punished for operating It without a license.

"Don't be so Impetuous, Mr. Stern," he
said. "I am not accustomed to that and I
will not stand for It."
He also reprimanded 15111s for Interrupt

called to the courtroom to explain that the
County Commissioners had retained pos

doubt as to whom It should be delivered,
following the "curbstone" e'ectlons.
Judge Davis then took up vacancies
