Ir the Central station and the charges were
dismissed
Assistant JMstrlct Attorney James Cay
Gordon, Jr. Ii,ead of acting ns prosecutor
as he did In tho Fifth Wnrd case, defended

Istrate Pennock ruled that Inasmuch as

evidence that he had done anything moro
than crank the machine he could not be
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
ing County Commissioner Kuenzel, who was
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
among election officials for Tuesday's elec

Patton, objected to the double petitions filed
by the Town Meeting party, which, In ad
