CHILEs GOES FREE.
His Bartender Is, However,
Convicted of Selling Liquor.

The cases against Nick Chiles and
Ollie Richardson charged with selling
liquor came up in the police court
Thursday afternoon and resulted in the
conviction of Richardson and the dis
missal of Chiles. Richardson was found
guilty on two counts and was fined 5000
and sentenced to so days in jail. His
attorney Immediately filed notice of ap-
peal and he gave the required bond
Both Richardson and Chiles were ar
rested last Friday and in the basement
of Chiles' place was found a splendid
cherry bar, behind it was Richardson
and key of beer.
Three witnesses We're called by the
state. They were: John Morris, Frank
Morris and Robert Harrison. Morris
was the first witness called and
he testified that he had bought beer and
drank it a number of times in Chiles-
joint. He mentioned two times in par
ticular, once when he stated that Frank
Morris and Robert Harrison were with
him and once with his brother. He
Identified Richardson as the man who
did the selling and had a positive
memory on dates and location. The
efforts of Chiles, who sat beside Attor-
ney Jamison, and of Jamison himself
to prove that Morris was a spotter were
futile
On account of the straightforward
testimony of Morris, Harrison was
obliged to tell at least a part of the
truth, although 1t was an apparent eff
fort. He could not deny drinking in the
place with the two Morris men, but he
I61OSeQ 10 remember WIZ S6INcN Lie
beer Harrison was a typical joint wit
ness who would rather admit of q weak
and falling memory than to identify the
jointists. Frank Morris testified that
he had purchased beer in the place and
identified Richardson as the man who
sold it. He did not like to testify but,
like the other Morris, told the truth, a
very exceptional proceeding in the po-
lice court trials.
Chiles had four of his gang of negroes
introduced as witnesses to prove that
Richardson was sick during the time it
was said that he was selling liquor but
their testimony did not bear much
weight. A few prosecutions for perjury
might have a good effect.
None of the witnesses testified con-
corning Chilea and consequently his case
was dismissed. The evidence is such,
however, that an injunction can be
served on him and in that way the dive
can be closed. The officers will take
steps to do this at once.

Eager for Gold.

Nicaragua boasts volcano called
Misaya, about which a curious bul
hardly credible story is told. When. in
1922, the Spaniards overrun the state,
the volcano was very lively. Many OF
the victorious Spaniards thought that
the raging fire at the foot of the crate:
was neither more nor less than purest
gold in molten state. The puzzle was
how to get it. But at last a few men.
more foolish and more venturesomc
than their mates, had themselves low
cred down until, by means of an iron
chain with a bucket at the end OF it,
they could reach the fiery mass. Of
course, as soon as the bucket neared
the surface it was melted in a moment,

were half dead from the heat and the
