Galloway fined Vinccnz Jacob $300
and 20 days in-the county jail, W.
Longworthy .f "i00 and 30 days in juid,
and Howard Edmunds $500 and 20
days in pail for violating the local
option law. In the case of Howard
Edmunds Judge Galloway made the
sentence heavy because he had been
up before the courts nnd the judge
several times for gambling. The judge
remitted the jail sentence during good
behavior.
As a number of witnesses are alleg
ed to huvc perjured themselves on the
witness stand during the local option
eases in this county, it is expected
that the judge will advise the district
attorney to prosecute them. .
The case against Howard Kdmunds
is to be appealed to the supreme court
nnd his bail was placed at $1000.
Jacob has paid his fine and Lang
