Neither can poor, weak, thin blood
nourish and sustain the physical sys-

Jury Declared Henry Trip Innocent
OF Unlawful Intentions In Ordering
Two Gallons of Whiskey.
The trial of Henry Trip of West Towns
bend Tuesday, charged with keeping liq-
uor for unlawful distribution, resulted in a
victory for the defendant. States At
torney Barber conducted the prosecution,
and c. G. Fits and A. V. d. Piper APP
peared for the defendant. The testimony
introduced by the state tended to show
that Trip had two gallons Of whiskey
shipped to Wardsboro station from Spring
field, Mass, under the name of IS. Z.
Acha;" that when the train on which it
was shipped arrived at West Townshend
Trip spoke to the express messenger
that the liquor was put off at Wardsboro
station; that soon afterward Trip and an
other person arrived at Wardsboro station
on a hand-car and spoke a few words 10
the station agent, States Attorney Bar.
Der and Deputy Sheriff NJ NJ. Martin OF
Townshend being present; that the two
men on the hand-car then returned at a
rapid rate toward West Townshend.
The officers seized the liquor and con-
demned it, and they afterward arrested
Trip, who admitted that the liquor was
his, but who claimed that he ordered it for
medicinal purposes. A dance was held in
West Townshend on the night the liquor
arrived, and the officers believed that It
was purposed to distribute the liquor on
that occasion.
At the hearing Tuesday the express mes
senger admitted that Trip spoke to hin
at West Townshend, but he claimed that
the conversation was in regard to another
matter. Trip stated that he was EN-.
ployed by the railroad as track walker and
that his mission to Wardsboro station or
the night that the liquor arrived was to in
spect the road. 1t was shown that Tripp':
wife was an invalid and that she USED
whiskey under medical direction. TripE
claimed that he had the liquor come under
fictitious name so as to avoid suspicion
that he was in any way engaged in the
liquor business. The jury, consisting Of
Ouin Burnap, F. II. Willard, w. A. Eddy
Charles Willard, H. Il. Holbrook and 10
siah Taft, returned verdict of not guilty
after being out about an hour.
