He stated that he had been in a "bootlegger's house" but he was unable to name the alleged bootlegger. He called across from his place on the witness stand to a friend to ask him to name the own er of the place. Later when the friend was on the stand, he suffered a loss of memory and turned to Captain Bray of the Red Bank police to ask him the name. It was not learned who owns the place in question.

According to the testimony of the Chamberlain woman. Comar had met her as she was entering her home and had hit her several times with the cue.

TROUBLES BEGAN WHEN STRAND WAS ERECTED TOMS RIVER, Nov. 21. The Palace theater at Lakewood was sold yesterday afternoon at public auction In the office of Sheriff Joseph Holman to Harry Shiffman of New York for $51,500 after spirited bidding had taken place between eight men. Special Deputy John Burdge conducted the sale.

U. S. Commissioner Harry Newman of Lakewood, who appeared as agent for a group of persons whose names he would hot divulge, carried the bidding to $51,000 but retired when Shiffman added $500 to his offer. The theater was sold to satisfy claims of the Lakewood Trust company, which held mortgages against the property. The interest on the mortgages has been constantly in arrears since last May.

The theater was the property of the LaKewooa Amusement company. The new owner would not say what he expected to do with the property. The sale of the propery marked the end of theater war which has existed at Lakewood since the building of the Strand theater a few years ago. AC that time the Palace was the only theater in Lakewood of sufficient size and accommodations to be termed such, and it was the idea of the owners to provide entertainment of a higher type for the people of this community. Many New York productions ware brought to Lakewood and for a time the enterprise did very well financially but later on it was found that two large theaters could not obtain support from the relatively small crowd of theatergoers in the vicinity.

It Is Understood that the Lakewood Amusement company suffered a loss in the neighborhood of $20,000 during the past two years. Monmouth Well Represented at National Convention In Nation's Capital.
