Mrs Bandy proved positive witness for
the defense. She answered promptly and
ner deuiels as 20 the selling OF liquor in her
place were emphatic.
Mr.. Bapdy made short statement to the
council in regard to the fracas in the yard
but nothing 10 reference to the selling OF
liquor.
Eugene Wilson was recalled aud was
questioned by Alderman Haines IN regard
to his failure to get into Bandy's place, but
little was ELECTED from him. Mr.. Bandy
made another statement as to the number Of
gates leading into his place, which closed the
case.
THE ARGUMENTS
Attorney Morgan spoke about half an
hour In defense OF Bandy. He relied upon
the positive evidence Of Mrs. Bandy and
the statement of the accused, together with
the other witnesses for the defense, to ask
the council for an acquittal. he made a
fiowery language. but IL didn's bring the
results he hoped for.
City Attorney Adams summed up in q
forcibis argument for the city. He said
that ordinarily be took no active part in
the prosecution Of such cases, but tho one
on trial showed not only fragrant viola
ton OF the city and state laws, but also
such fragrant violation Of the laws Of
deceney that he considered It his duty
TO say something. Briefly the city
attorney went through the evidence Of
both the prosecution and defense showing
the Rlaring Inconsistencies of the latter
and the almost utter impossibility of its ap-
proach 60 truth. His arraignment Of Bandy
fer allowing his wife 60 sell liquor was
scathing. Mr.. Adams called the attention
of tho aldermen particularly to the testi-
mony OF Officer Lakewood, whom Bandy
asked not to report the case. IL Bendy
wasn't guilty why was il. he asked, that he
should have hunted up the officer to make
such a requestl
MOVED TO SUSTAIN THE MAYOR.
When Mayor McDonough called for a
motion Alderman Haines moved that the
sentence of tho police court stand. and IL
met with several seconds.
The aldermen voting mo" seemed 10 feel
10 incumbent upon themselves to explain
why they did1eo. Alderman Myers reason
was that tho evidence was SO contradictory
that he had "a doubt. Aldermen Carson was
Of similar mind. Alderman Harmon and
Reid had no doubt about the law having
been violated, but they were
opposed to the jail part of the sentence and
that was why they felt constrained to vote
against the mayor. Both aldermen inti-
mated that If the question were merely on
the 6ne and revocation of license they would
have voted TO sustain the sentence.
As soon as the vote was announced Mayor
McDonough ordered Bandy into the custody
of City Marshal Wade to be transferred to
Jail, but SHORTLY afterward Mr.. Morgan gave
notice ofaa eertiorari.to the superior court
and Bandy furnished bond and was re-
leased. I'll
At the oenelusion of the Bandy case the
appeal Of We b Brown, who was fined 500
last July foIaeiling liquor, was heard and
resulted indsuwn's acquittal, The evil
dence against the accused was not of the
strongest character and the vote was taken
wa W, o Although the majority W 6
clearly la the negative, several in the
affirmative we're heared. W.HW. Osborne,
Esq, defended Brown.
