good locking fellow, but SO was the other
fellow who had given him away, and you
c,uldn't always tell who to trust. He
paid him ten cents for the glass. On
GROSS examination, the witness statsd that
In his younger days lager beer nearly
ruined him until he went into temper

made 1t a business for several years b,
become acquainted with all sorts and
kinds of liquor for just such occasions

Grant Rogers Of Richmond, who pre-
oeded Mr.. Oaine MS q rand Chief Templar,
took the stand and corroboratsd Mr..
Caine In regard to what occurred In the
restaurant on September 18th. Mr.. Rog.
ers stood at the lunch counter near By
and heard Mr.. Caine oall for lager teer,
and saw Mr.. Woodbury. furnish him
with some kind Of beer. This closed the
testimony for the defense.
Mr.. Woodbury. then took the stand and
denied empatically that he ever sold any
lager beer to MIR. Caine or anyone else.
He said that all the beer which he ever
sold In his restaurant was limo beer,
which hs bought OF the firm of Hartieb
and Cheltra Of Bath; that people some
times called for lager beer, but he invarf-
ably told them that he did not keep 1t.
He admitted that he had United
States license. but eaid that he was told
that IL was necessary to have 1t In order
70 sell his Uno Beer. He also stated
that General Manager Evans Of the Main
Central, when he first came to Portland,
told him distinctly that II he sold any
Intoxicating HONOR IN that restaurant,
he would be removed Immediately.
MIR. Dell, who was clerk for Mr.. Wood
bury during this time, testified that Mr..
Woodbury. never kept any lager beer; that
when people wo Md call for lager beer he
would sometimes pass them out Uno
beer and say nothing about 1t.
MIR. Hartlsb testified that the beer
which they sent TO Mr.. Woodbury. was
invariably Uno beer, which never con-
tanned much over per cent OF alcohol.
Prof Robinsons Of Bowdoin College
testified that Mr.. Woodbury. brought him
bottle Of beer for analysis sometime
last. November, and that 1t contained 2
per cent OF alcohol, On oross-examins-
ton, the professor stated that he had
analysed samples Of Uno beer which
had come from the firm Of Hartleb and
CheItra which had contained as high a.
4 per cent CT alcohol.
This concluded the testimony.
Weston Thompson appears as counsel
for MIR. Woodbury., ana Edwin j. Cram
of Biddetord las counsel for Mr.. Cain.
Mr.. Cram in his argument laid consid-
cradle stress upon the fact that Mr..
Woodbury. had not shown any special
damage, that no evidences hal been offered
10 sshow that re had suffered in reputa.
ton or that his business had been In
jured. He said that this was the most
remarkable SANDER case that had ever
come to his notice; for here was u man
who was confssssdiy in possession OF a
United States license, claiming to be In.
jured in his reputation hecause he was
charged with selling lager beer.
Mr.. Thompson csnsursd Mr., Game
quite severely for his conduct In this mat
tsr. he said that MIR. Caine had pre-
sumabiy signed the Good Templar's
pledge, and that was q solemn thing;
and yet he had gone upon the stand and
deliberately sworn that he han violated
that pledge.

quarter past five; and at six O'Clock, the
jury not hasing agreed, the court gave
orders for them to seal up their verdict
and bring it into court tomorrow morn
