yesterday before Judge Burke and jury
In the Circuit Court at Towson. Baltimore

without license. and was acquitted after
the jury had been out about fifteen min.
utes 1t was contended by Messrs. J. Fred.
&. Talbot, John Grason and Charles w.
Heuisler, counsel for Acton, that he lived
Ia Anne Arundel county, and had pro-
cured license in that county for the sale
OF liquor, and, therefore, could not be
held amenable to the Law for selling liquor
in Baltimore county. Whether Actions
place Is In Baltimore or Anne Arundel
county, has long been q disputed point,
aud States Attorney Duncan claimed
that as Acton had paid his taxes In BATH
more county and had for several years
taken out license In Baltimore county, his
failure to do so this year subjected him
to the penalty for violating the law. Mr..
E. w. Steifel, formerly president of the
board of county commissioners for Balti-
more county testified that Mr.. Acton, on
account Of the mooted question over the
location Of his place. at the advice OF
Steifel had taken out license in both
counties, and that Steifel had been In the
habit of obtaining his Baltimore county
license for him for number of years. He
would have taken out the license again
THE year In Baltimore county, Mr. Steifel
said but for the fact that the high license
law required the applicant tn make oath
that he WAS a resident of The county,
which Mr. Acton could not and would
not as an honest man. AS TO the pay
ment OF taxes, that Mr. Acton had only
done once, and for the year 1890, but II
was paid by Mr.. Steifel for Mr. Acton
under protest, and was marked on the bill,
