Perio was escorted to the station house and the cannon confiscated. Perio was given a hearing before Magistrate Charles in police court. The prisoner is not able to speak English, tout through an interpreter he explain ed that he had the cannon made to go out in the woods with on the Fourth to celebrate and that he was testing the piece on Sunday evening when arrested. He claimed ignorance of the new law. It was explained to him that he was rot arrested for violating a Sunday law and that Ira could not explode the gun in the woods or anywhere else the state.

He was present in police court and the money was confliscated. Following is a copy of the new act which will be of interest to the public: No.
