mPoRr4NT TO CIGAR DEALERS.
How the Unwary nre Entrapped-Be-
ware Of the Informers.

Yesterday morning, John Law, well.knoWn
dealer of this city, was brought before tne
United States commissioner charged Witn
having sold an old cigar box upon which the
revenue stamp had not been destroyed. Inc
fact of the selling was establishes; but as IL
also appeared from the evidence that the oo2
had been unknowingly sold BY clerk, ana IN
the absence and without the knowledge OF Mr.
Law, the latter was discharged.
On the day preceding, Mr.. ]. b. Doscher
was also brought before the commissioner on
the same charge, and having no excuse but
his ignorance of this piece of statute law, he
was bound over for trial at the present term
of the Circuit Court. The intormer In both
cases was Lieutenant A. E. Philippy, the ex-
chief of detectives In the latter case 1t was
shown that he went to Mr. Doscher's store and
asked for the cigar box.
The law upon this point is explicit in forbid
ding any one to selror dispose of old-cigar or
tobacco boxes witEout first obliterai1ng OF
destroying the revenue stamp upon 1t; ana
when such case. however triflug, is brought
before commissioner, be has no choice but
to bail or commit the offender for trial. AS
this provision OF the law may not be general
ly known to shopkeepers, they are liable TO
harassing prosecutions, as in the case of Mr.
Doscher, when they are entrapped into thus
committing themselves by inlormers. OF
these there are many, who, catching up some
point like this, go about on the watch to take
advantage of the ignorant or unwary. Keep
q lookout for them.
