slider legal point raised by Attorney Al

The question at issue was whether George
T. Fordham, the accused. whose case was
continued. sold package Of tobacco to an
adult or a minor. 1t developed from the
testimony of Richard Pattsn, . boy ten
years of age, that he was sent 10 the store
of Fordham by Award, who instructed him
to buy tobacco and tell the proprietor sn
the event he asked for whom the purchase
was being made. that it was for a man
down the street. Attorney Sillers held
that inasmuch as the Patten boy was sent
for the tobacco. related that it was pur-
chased for "A man down the street" and
then delivered the tobacco immediately
after the purchase to the man Down the
street tAlward)5 the sale was made 10
