POMONA.

The Smith whisky trial ended on
Monday and resulted in verdict ol
guilty. The trial consumed only two
or three hours after the jury was impan-
eled. When the verdict had been re-
corded the attorney for the defendant
made a motion in arrest of judgment
on the ground that the facts set forth in
the complaint do not constitute public
offense under any law of the state oi
California nor under any ordinance oi
the city of Pomona. The matter was
taken under advisement until O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, at which time the
court denied the motion. The counsel
for defendant contended, as the grounds
for his motion, that the ordinance had
not been attested within the meaning of
the law. 1t was signed by the presi-
dent of the board of trustees and simply
signed by the clerk "Azra Crabb, city
clerk"
A motion for a new trial has at the
present time just been made. If this
motion is denied an appeal will probably
be taken.
