and commenced court on Wednesday
morning, and disposed of the following
business during the week:
State of Ohio VS. Daniel Swaney. The
defendant sells liquors in the room under
the Bank, and the indictment states that
on the 4th day of October 1872, he sold
intoxicating liquors to one William Trim
mer, to be drunk IN the room where sold.
The evidence showed that Trimmer and
a young man named How got drink at
the saloon or grocery of James O'Hara,
and then came up to Swaney's room and
got another drink. There was no dis
pute except as to which party bought the
liquor Neither of the young men was
positive as to which one called for the
liquor, or which one paid for it; but as
How treated at o Hara's, they supposed
that Trimmer treated at Swaney's. Yer
dict guilty.
State of Ohio VS.. Charles Andres. In
dictment for assault and battery The
evidence showed that on the night
of the last day of October, 1872, a lot of
young men were interfering with some
wagons in the alley near the stables of
DR.. Clewers and Joseph Andres One of
the wagons belonged to John H. Clewers.
He took lantern in his hand and went
to see about the matter. He met with
Charles Andres, and accused him of being
one of the parties. This he denied The
lie was given on both sides, and quarrel
was the result. R. E. G. Clewers got
4
between the parties, and made an effort
to prevent fight. Andres struck Clew-
ers on the mouth with a stone, knocking
out some teeth, and fraeturing part of
the upper jaw inwhich the teeth are fitted
Andres testified that Clewers was picking
up a stone at the time he struck him.
Clewers denied this The only question
in the case was. whether Clewers was
picking up stone, and whether Andres
was acting in self defense, supposing that
Clewers was about to strike him with a
stone. The jury remained out several
hours, and then returned a verdict of
guilty.
