537 Commercial Street
C. J. Bertleson, proprietor of the
Warwick saloon on Commercial
street, was arrested yesterday after
noon in a bench warrant issued by
Judge Anderson of the police court,
and taken into court for trial. He had
been arrested several days aco by
Police Officer Houghten on a charge
of permitting a woman to be in a
wine room" in his saloon, but had
failed to show up in court when his
case was called, and thereby forfeit
ing a nominal bail. Attorney C. J.
Curtis appeared with Bertleson yes
terday afternoon and demanded a jury
trial for his client. The trial of the
case was set for this afternoon at 3
o'clock and at the conclusion of the
session of court a jury was drawn,
and is made up as follows:
Jacob Utxinger, Alex Tagg, George
II. Ohler. L. E. Howes, II. A. Sher
man and J. N. Laws.
This jury is apparently composed
of representative men, and it is un
derstood that both sides are satisfied
with the men on it. It is understood
that the prosecution will endeavor to
prove that there was a woman in one
of the "boxes" or wine rooms in the
saloon, and if that fact can be proven
beyond question it will presumably
be for the jury to find if she was there
in violation of the city ordinance cov
ering the matter. y
When Police Officer Houghten en
tered the saloon and saw the woman
there, as he alleges, he told the pro
prietor that he was under arrest.
whereupon Bertleson quickly pulled a
revolver and "covered" the officer
with it. That one or the other of the
men was not killed sems to have been
a matter of pure luck more than any
thing else, and while Patrolman
Houghten is not talking much of tin
matter his friends say that he is dis
posed to see that this case be pushed
to the limit. The other officers are
naturally taking a keen interest in the
matter, entirely irrespective of the in
nocence or guilt of the defendant in
relation to the charge of permitting a
woman to be in the wine room. It is
the alleged fact that the saloon keep
er pulled a revolver on the police
officer which arouses interest in the
case, and it is said to be not improb
able that the defendant may also have
to answer to a charge of threatening
to kill.
Meantime those who are keenly in
terested in the moral welfare of the
city are hoping that the trial may
also disclose some facts in regard to
how saloons in Astoria arc being
conducted.
