When he was arraigned today, to
hear ssntenco pronounced, he took
his sentence calmly.'and when press
ed to tell where he secured the whisky
which he sold as described before, he
flat-footedly refused to Bay wljere he
procured -It. No amount of coaxing
could elicit the desired Information.
When h, dawned upon him that It
Vbuld require 167 days In Jail in case
the fine was not . paid, he was still
obstinate. '
"My father and mother taught me
not to be a traitor, and I am too old
now to wander from my boyhood
teachings," explained Rodney. The
man who sold Rodney tho liquor,
which he In turn disposed of, is lay
ing low and' if Rodney should pay the
fine, It' will no doubt be with money
which has been supplied him by the
unknown first offender. Rodney can
