NyAcK, July 81. J. Murphy, detective
in the employ of the Piermont Law and Order
Association, bought bottle of rye whiskey on
June 7th at the unlicensed saloon of James E.
Sarvent, in Piermont. Murphy tasted the
liquor, sealed the bottle, and delivered it to
the Rev. Theodore M. Peck on the night of
June 10th, the clergyman and the detective
meeting in the woods near Piermont. On
complaint of Mr.. Peck, Sarvent was arrested
last Monday, and accused of violation of
the excise laws. Yesterday the case was
called in the Nyack Opera House. The entire
afternoon was spent in getting jury, and the
trial began at seven O'Clock at night. Three
hundred sympathizers with Sarvent crowded
the hall During the night dozen witnesses
were examined. AT half past one the jury re-
tired, and at three returned and said they
could not agree. They were briefly instruct
ed and again sent out. At half past four they
united in verdict of "not guilty" Fifteen
