DR.. Kociell says we misquoted his
evidence last week in regard to the
length of time he had been treating
VIM. Mccoy for la grippe and disorder
of the respiratory organs. He says he
testified that the patient represented
to him (Kociel) that he was sufferer
for the past or 6 years, but that he
had only been treating him for about
6 months, beginning sometime last
August. The consensus of opinion is
that this is the substance of the Dr's.
evidence on that point and our report
that 1t was four to SIX years should
have been four to six months. The
surrounding circumstances and condi-
tons of sensational trial IN police
court are very annoying to one who de-
sires to get the principal parts of the
testimony and therefore, occasionally
misunderstands. Especially is this true
when the crowd IS great and the report
er is at the rear end and in close quar-
ters. We hope this viii satisfactorily
explain the error.

Mr.. Slinker was doing business in

On Sunday evening Bro. Sheriff.

The subject debated at the Enon lit
erary on Friday evening was: Resolved

understand the question was we'll ar
gued on both sides. Uncle Billie Brown,
Elias Pelton and S. o. Ward affirmed.

son denied. While we have no sym-
patty with vIOlators of the law, we
would certainly favor its amendment
in few particulars and chiefly we
would make the penalty prescribed less
severe than it is believing that the pres
ent severe penalty is the chief obstacle
in the way of enforcing the law. 1t is
rare that jury car be secured to con.
vict where the penalty for giving away
or selling single glass of intoxicants
must necessarily be term of imprison-
ment and fine of from one to five humid
red dollars which Is sum sufficient to
financially ruin any man of ordinary
means III these times of financial strin-
gency. If the whole penalty inflicted
might be fine as low as five dollars
and not more than fifty dollars for the
first offence there would be more con-
victions and the law would be better
respected and enforced. The present
almost absolute certainty of acquittal
serves to embolden men to defy the
law. The penalty IS too severe in com
parisOn with the penalty attached to
the violation of other laws.
