DIDN'T KNOW THE LAW
Sentence Suspended on the Whole
sale Liquor Dealers Who
SOLD LESS THAN TWELVE PINTS
J. S. Dawson Is Sent Up Six Years for His
Revolving Crime.
A BUSY DAY AMONG JUDGES AND JURIEs

Yesterday was a busy day in Criminal
Court. The wholesale liquor dealers con-
victed of selling in smaller quantities than
allowed by the act of 1891 were called up
for sentence. They were Henry Heck, T.
Hufnagel, Fred He'll, Joseph Rohm, Samuel
Abrams, A. Funk, Charles H. Ruik and
John Powers. District Attorney Burleigh
stated to the Court that he had been in
formed by Chief Brown, as we'll as by the
late Superintendent of Police Gamble
Wier, that the defendants had conformed to
the law of 1889, without the knowledge of
having violated that of 1891, and asked for
suspension of sentence as in the case of
A. E. Jones, passed upon by one OF the
other judges. Judge Porter then suspended
sentence in each case upon the payment OF
costs.
Judge Kennedy sentenced j. S. Dawson,
convicted about a week ago of assaulting
his 6-year-old daughter, to the penitentiary
for six years and one month.
John Anderson, charged with stabbing
John Sanderson on the arm on Logan street
Christmas Eve, was convicted and sent to
the workhouse for two years.
Gottleib Abby was convicted of robbing
d. B. Lynch of $50, on Stanton avenue, De-
cember 1S.
John Boylan was found guilty of perjury
on oath of G. w. Smith
Henry Dindineer, charged with embez-
zling $40 from Kaufman Brothers, is on
trial.
The jury in the case of Charles Supes,
charged by his wife with assault and bat
terry, went out yesterday morning at $50,
and remained out all day. At o'clock last
evening Judge Porter sent for them to find
out why they could not agree. 1t looked as
though the jury would disagree, but the
Court advised them to try to arrive at ver-
dict, as another trial would be useless ex-
pense to the county. 1t is a simple case, and
has now cost over 5000.

came, to the Valley of Zoar to live. The
family did not have the best reputation in
the world so the story goes. Well, one
night pack peddler came through the for
est on his way to Buffalo and stopped at
this house to show his wares and obtain a
rights lodging He took from his pack q
few golden trinkets which he showed the
people. This excited their greed and they
imagined he must have piles of money with
him, so instead of giving him bed to sleep
on they soon had Mr.. Peddler senseless and
were searching him and his pack for the
gold. Not finding any more than he had
shown them they thought to persecute the
poor man when he recovered his senses
and made him reveal the place where he
kept all his money. AS soon as the peddler
revived they began operations by cutting of
a toe from each foot; this did not bring forth
the secret and couple more toes were
sacrificed. Still he persisted in saying that
he had no money, which only resulted in his
losing two more toes He then had two toes
left on each foot, the big and the little one.
AS that torture did no good, they became
e1asperated and knocked the peddler on the
head, and supposing him to be dead, they
threw him through trap door into the
cellar. Presently, however, the trap door
was lifted up and the hands of the peddler
appeared on the sides of the door as if ne
was trying to climb out. This so enraged
the family that one grabbed butcher knife
and another hatchet and they began hack
ing at the hands of the poor man. After
couple of strokes only one finger was left on
one hand and two on the other, and at that
the peddler fell back into the cellar.
Three Generations Deformed.
''The family gathered around the trap
door to see if he made any sound, and heard
him calling on the Lord to curse that family
and make them wear his present form even
to the third and fourth generations. Those
were his dying words.
Whether the story is true or not, of
course I cannot say, but it is evident that
the three generations which are represented
here, all have deformed feet and hands 1t
looks as though the Lord was answering
that prayer, doesn't it?"
1t did seem as if some power must have
influenced the strange formation of this
family's hands and feet and who can tell but
what the legend is true. The story is gen.
orally accepted as true by all the people in
the valley and some old settlers say they
can remember the whole circumstance when
it first came out about the murder of the
peddler.

AFTER THE GRIPPE.
The Grippe Responsible forMore Deaths
after Recovery than During its Course.
How to Avoid the Danger.


Grippe, in itself, is bad enough, debilitat-
ing enough, but it is the after effects the slow
ness of recovery that give it its great dam
ger. In most cases, the person did not have
sufficient vitality to rally after the disease
itself had passed. The forces OF nature were
too weak to contend with the debility which
the Grippe had left.
1t is sad to think how many people have
died who might have been saved if nature
had been properly assisted and fortified
after the Grippe had been driven from the
system. Many physicians realized this fact,
and assisted their patients over the danger
GUS after effects by bracing up and stimulat-
ing their systems. This was, and can be
done in but one way, and that is by the
steady and moderate use of some pure yet
powerful stimulant. There is but one abso-
lutely pure and medicinal stimulant known
to the profession and to the public, and that
is Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. The most
prominent scientists and physicians of the
land endorse its purity and value. 1t is not
q new whiskey. it has been before the public
for years. 1t is not a cheap decoction, but
pure distillation. 1t imparts a tone to the
system possible in no other manner and
sends the blood coursing through the veins
with renewed v1gor. 1t is superior in every
respect and however much any unscrupuIous
druggist or grocer may seek to lead you to
believe to the contrary do not be deceived.

HOUSEKEEPERS ARE WARNED against
the impositions of company of females, who,

The counsel for the defense in the Quay.
Post criminal libel suit yesterday filed their
papers in the motion for new trial. After
objecting to the manner in which the jury
was drawn, the District Attorneys associa-
ton with the trial of the case and several
other alleged Irregularities, they take a
number of exceptions to the charge of
Judge Porter, claiming that he erred
They claim that the law does not presume
malice, and therefore the burden of proof
could not be upon the defendants to remove
that presumption. The Court charged that
the defendants must be held to the highest
degree of good faith and care. To this they
take exception, as also to the Courts refer
ence to the defendants reliance on the
statements of Attorney General Hensel,
