LIQUOR CASES The liquor cases begun in
the Police o'.rt last week against Blcknell
& Cottrell We're continued Saturday.
Owing to a defect in the first warrants new
warrants We're issued against Cottrel. After
examining few witnesses the case was adj
journed to Tuesday forenoon. At this hear
ing several witnesses were examined, but
their testimony on the stand did not agree
with what they told State Constable Mears
before the trial. Walter B. Decrow testified
that he had been at the place of the defend
ants several times; that he never bought
any liquor there, but that in February last
Bicknell gave him glass of liquor which
he drank. Mr.. Mears was positive that
Decrow told HIM that he had bought liquor
there, and Judge Rogers put the witness
under $1,000 bonds to appear before the Su-
preme Court if indicted for perjury. As
other material witnesses were absent the
cases were all continued to Tuesday, April
20 at 10 a. M.
