NEW YORK'S NEW DRY LAW CAUSE OF MANY ALIBIS. New York, May 8?A policeman walked into a. saloon, approached a man standing near the lunch counter who was making peculiar motions with a bottle, and arrested him. "Your honor," said the prisoner in court, "that bottle did not belong to e. I saw it on the counter and I ^ picked it up. Just as I was in the act Al cf smelling it to see what was in it " x { tills man grabbed me." How He Smells. "If that is true, judge, this man smells with hig mouth," spoke up the officer. "When I arrested him he had ie mouth of the bottle halfway down his throat." That is one excuse. That is only a Bample of the alibis, excuses and ex-' ptanations that come from the hun-j '.t dreds of prisoners arrested under j New York's new dry statute. Several hundred prisoners are arranged be-| fere New York magistrates every j week for liquor violations. Each and every one has a brand-, new excuse- Some of them are star-j tlingly original, leading to the con-' elusion on the part of the judges tliat| the dry law is responsible for a great-, er variety of excuses than any other, law ever passed. "I never was more surprised in my . me: i cto not Know now that bot-; tie canie to be there," is a standard' excuse when there is 110 chance to frame-up another. For Heart Attacks. A bartender who was caught be-' hind the mahogany with a flask of whiskey in his hand told the court that the doctor had ordered him to always have whiskey by htm because he was subject to heart attacks. He ptoduced the doctor's certificate. "That seems to bc a complete defense," said Magistrate McGeehan.1 "hut I think I can see an epidcnih of % * heart disease among bartenders." ! Another barkeeper was in the back room. Ho had a bottle in one hand and a glass in the other. lie also said , he was a very sick man and had the booze 011 his doctor's order. The magistrate ruled that the glass spoil-1 ed the alibi and held the bartenderj for trial. A young man behind the bar of | his mother's -?aloon was arrested: when a cop found an oil can full of 1 whiskey on the bar. The boy dis-j claimed all knowledge oi it. His mother came to his rescue in court by swearing that the liquor vas used , to polish the brass rail. "That wins the brown derby," said j the magistrate. Her Alibi. I An Italian woman in the Bronyx, i arrested charged with the ownership! of 20 barrels of wine, is trying toj escape the responsibility by saying | that the wine was made by her hus-j band who died two years ago. He did not leave a will so the wine really ? - In a new si a . r! ' lOforlOcts t J c 1 IMPORTANT CHA Tlie Atlantic Coast L Monday, May 23rd, their to Limited," will leave Dill 9.20 P.
