SHELBYVILLE. Ind, Jan. pa new
feature was sprung on the Good Citizens
League by the local liquor league this aft
ernoon. This morning Andrew Raymond,
who keeps a wholesale liquor store oper-
ating under a government license, pleaded
guilty to selling liquor without a city IL
cense and was fined $. James Smith, who
acts as his clerk, also pleaded guilty and
was fined the same amount. Fine and
costs in both cases amounted to about SIG.
James Whitcomb. barkeeper for Gatewood.
and Gilbert Phillips, a saloon keeper Of
North Harrison street, were tried before
Mayor Enos for selling Sunday and in
one case fined $40 and in the second case
lined $40 each. The two men appealed on the
two so cases and their attorney stated that
the defendants would not pay the fine in
the second case, neither would they give
bond for its payment nor appeal. They
would not pay any attention whatever TO
the case. Mayor Enos ordered the defen.
dants into custody until he could get legal
advice and telephoned for attorney Adams
who is acting for the Good Citizens League.
After consultation Mr.. Enos ordered Phil
Sparks and Deputy Neal took them in.
Mr.. Wilson, attorney for the saloon men,
claims that the Mayor has no legal right to
assess a larger fine than SIS under the
statute and advised his clients to go to
jail and have a case of false Imprisonment
against the Mayor. Papers were begun for
writ of habeas corpus, but before they
could be completed Mayor Enos discovered
that he had no authority to assess a fine
of more than SO and started Marshal
Sparks and Deputy Neal with an order for
the release of Phillips and Whitcomb from
custody. This was the first legal victory
that the saloon men have gained in this
trouble and their adherents are jubilant.
The attorneys are of the opinion that the
appealed cases where the fines were as
sessed at $40 will not be affected by this
last move as in the appeal the defendants
acknowledged the jurisdiction Of the
Mayors court.
The Good Citizens, notwithstanding the
backset, are still confident and determined.
In all twenty-five convictions have been
secured and all but four have been ap-
pealed to the Circuit Court. Other cases
against the same men are ready to be filed
under the Nicholson law.
