A police court Jury yesterday found
T. It. Peterson not guilty of violating
tha law by keeping- open hla billiard
and cool room at ITJ Btirntrtde street
last Sunday. Tha Jury simply refusd
to bring In a verdict of guilty and
subject Peterson to tha penalUes , of
th law for violation of an ancient cad
long-forf!ten statute.
Th testimony very .clearly showed
that Peterson did hav hla " place

were 12 or 1 men In It when he was
arrested, soma of them engaged In
playing- pool. Tha defense put on no
witnesses. Th only testimony offered
was that of Patrolman Abbot, who tes-
ttr ed that he arrested .Peterson la
Bunday and stated that at the time
th place was full of men and waa being-
run . wide open the same aa It la
