JUDGE R0WELL'S DECISION.
It Makes Mighty Interesting Reading
to Many.

Burlington. Vermont, Oct. 5. 1S99.-
Judge Rowell in his charge said IN
substance: The burden is upon the state
to satisfy you as to every element of the
crime alleged. The respondent is pre-
sumed to be innocent and this holds un-
til overcome by evidence. 1t is like
every other criminal case in this respect.
The statute provides that the payment of
special license shall be held to prove
the man holding the same to be a COM
mon seller. There is in this case moth
ing to modify the testimony introduced
The questions in the case are first: Is
the respondent the person named and if
so did he pay the taxP If so. then he is
guilty. 1t is shown that the collectors
office for this district is at Portsmouth
and that Mr. Weeks sends applications
for licenses there. The Interpretation of
the copy of the record is for the court.
In the first place the pages are headed
'Record of special taxpayers in Yer
mont" We find here the name of ID.
II. McCuen, r. l.. d., which means a re-
tail liquor dealer and that he is in Bur-
lington and at No. 81 North street. The
month of July will be taken to mean
July of the current year. The license
was issued on July 12. Are you salts
fed from the testimony in the case that
the respondent, ID. HI. McCuen, is the
one who applied for the license? The
initials and surname are the same and it
has been shown that he carries on bust
ness at No. "a North street. Is this the
man? If he is the man do you suppose
he paid the tax of $25. or do you think
the government gave it to himP A 1ea-
sonable doubt is one that addresses itself
to the reason. 1t is a doubt that is rea-
There is no great mystery
about this doubt. You ought not and
cannot have trouble with this question.
The term is not capable of an exact def
milton. Reasonable is used in the ordi-
nary guage of the term. The matter of
innocence pertains here but the statute
provides that the tax having been paid
shall be conclusive evidence. If the
paid that tax he can be con-
vicled If the tax was paid on the 18th
day of July the respondent was a COM
mon seller on each day thereafter.

Richmond, Ind, Oct. 5.-Indiana and
Texas are today the principals in an
event showing decidedly how far the
friendly feeling between the North and
the South has progressed. This event
Is to return to Terry's Texas Rangers of

DRUGGIST F.. |. TAFT AT BAR TODAY
Especial to the TELEGRAM

w
Burlington, Oct. 5.-The drug store
cases continue to be the chief topic of
interest in this city, overshadowing even
the yacht races and the movements of
Admiral Dewey.
The case now on trial is State VS.. f.
L. Taft & Co.
Hon Seneca Haselton, one of the at
torneys for the defendant, having OBJ
iected to the admission of the copy of
the internal revenue records from Ports
mouth, N. H., obtained by Rev. G. W.
Morrow Judge Rowell ruled that records
could not be considered confidential as
u state secret as the Federal statute.
provides for the posting of list of
special tax payers in the collectors
office, and that the United States License
must be posted in conspicuous place
for public inspection. AS to the con-
stitutionality of the statue, Judge
Rowel did not think it wise practice
for the lower courts to rule on the
matter.
He further says: " If it is competent
for the Legislature to say what shall be
prima facia evidence, it is not the au-
thority of the court to change their
findings"
The objections were therefore over
ruled and exceptions taken by the de-
PENDANTS counsel.
