morning was occupied with the hearing
of the charge of gambling made against
several negroes of Rockets some days
ago. the case Of Phil Mabrey being made
the test case. 1t was dismissed T. r.
Lookns was charged by Officer S. w.
Giddings with conducting a disorderly
place and selling liquor on Sunday. The
case was partially heard. and during
the testimony it was stated that grea
deal of Sunday liquor selling had been
going on in that section. The case was
continued until next Tuesday for new
evidence. After the examination, Off
Ger C;iddngs and Mr.. Lnokins became
involved in Il personal difficulty which
eventuatcd in the former knocking the
latter down. This ease will also come
UP for hearing Tuesday.
While this examination was going on.
officer GiddingS made a significant
statement. which will probably lead to
developments. While testifying against
Mabry, the officer said that the Sunda Y
liquor law had been pcrsistently. vio-
lated during the past six months by

tnlt "hlle ne dld not know anything
about the particular case under dis
cussion, he had reason to believe that

one. was doing a Sunday business, say

liquor from them.

ton of these statements which may
lead to some sensational developments,
as it will evidently be in order for the

for the Chief to explain his attitude in
the matter.
