The wagon was turned over and damaged somewhat before the horses were stopped. ALLEGED PKK.lt ISY ON PARI Ol WITNESS Is CAUSE OF JUDGE'S ACTION. tsecause It was openly apparent that William Eagun. the prosecuting witness, perjured himself in his tes timony, Judge Flti Gerald this morn ing dismissed the bootlegging case against Teddy O'Nell. However, on a charge of being drunk, he sentence'! O'Nell to a fine of 125 or 12 days in jail. and. when a similar charro war ' filAH nirnlnat bnn it... tuo. trava him 40 or 20 days m Jail because of his previous false testimony. The caae tola morning, while It did not prove the bootlegging charge, did throw some light upon the manner in which alcohol la secured. It also showed pretty clearly that there are many men who do not hesitate at per jury in order to secure alcohol. There was strong evidence that O'Nell, Bgan and W. H. Bruner, a witness, all perjured themselves and Deputy Dis trict Attorney R I Keator waa pres ent to note the evidence. Eagan. whose home is In Hermls ton, testified that he gave O'Nell (150 and that the latter went out and se cured him some alcohol. O'Nell very vehemently denied this, declaring that Eagan himself purchased the alcohol and returned with it to himself and Bruner, giving them part of it. Bru ner corroborated this story and, when the druggist record book was brought in and showed Eagan's signature to an affidavit for the securing of alco hol, it was pretty patent that he was giving false testimony. Eagan denied that he had purchas ed any alcohol, even when the affida vit was produced, declaring it was not his signature. However, it corre sponded almost Identically with his signature as written on a piece of paper. The affidavit was made in the record book of the Tallman Druj: Co. and Tom Brewster, prescription clerk, was a witness. He did not, however. Identify Eagan as the man who secured the alcohol. Both O'Neil and Bruner testified to securing alcohol at the Tallman ENTRENCHMENTS ARE THROWN UP TO GUARD LINES American Troops Taking Precautions in Case Danger is Threatened From Any Quarter in Mexico.
