John O'lloro, n driver in the employ
of the Keystone lirewlng company, last
night had a hearing before Alderman
Knsson on the ch.iigo of malicious mis
chief. Tho warrant was issued at the
instance of George Hufnagel, manager
of the Dickson City brow cry, and was
seu'vod last Friday.
It seems that about three weeks ngo
this company was delivering alo at tho
hotel of Anthony Walsh, at Washing
ton avenue and Phelps street. O'lloto,
who boards at this hotel, was deliver -lug
nlo for tho Keystone company at
tho tlmo. Ho was left alono in the
collar n short w hlle, and after ho had
geino It wns found that nails had been
driven Into three of tho kogs contain
ing tho Dickson City nlo. Tho olr had
all passed out, and ns n result the
liquid was flat and stale. O'lloro was
suspected of tho deed.
At the hearing; last night "Wnlsh In
terceded for him nnd said that tiro alo
did not belong to tho browing company,
ns he had paid for It. Upon this show
Ing tho alelermnn discharged the caso.
