LIQUOR CASES ON TRIAL
Unusual activity has prevailed
in Justice Cornett's court the
past week, due to the prosecu
tion of a number of alleged in
fractions of the liquor laws.
Frank Lane was arrested Sat
urdiiy charged with being drunk
and also with having given liquor
to a minor. He was found guilty
and fined $250, which he paid.
During Lane's trila he claimed
to have boeght two bottles of
whisky from George IlaaiUtonj
paying $15 per bottle fur the
same. Hamilton was arrested
on a bootlegging charge and at
his trial Monday Lane testified
that he had bought the liquor
from Hamilton and Hamilton, tak
ing the stand in his own behalf,
denied having sold Lane any
thing. The trial resulted in u
hung jury, three standing for ac
quittal and three for conviction.
It is understood Hamilton will
be given another trial.
G. W. Swaggart was arrested
Monday and charged with hav
ing had liquor in his possession
unlawfully on a certain date in
September of last lyear and was
given a trial on that charge Wed
nesday. Two witnesses, Mr, aud
Mrs. Vink, who had rooms in the
Swaggart home last summer,
testified that Mr. Swaggart gave
them each a drink of whisky on
the date named while at dinner
with Mr. and Mrs Swiggart in
the Swaggart home. Swaggart,
testifying in his own behalf, ad
tnitied having had the liquor and
giving the witnesses a drink, but
claimed that the liquor was law
fully in his possession as ho had
purchased it and stored it for his
own use in 1914, before the state
went dry. The jury, however,
returned a verdict of guilty and
a tine of $l'5U was assessed
against the defendant. It is un
derstood the cuse will be appeal
ed to the circuit court.
