TODD BARRETT ACQUITTED
HIS Father, BrOther-in-law and Sister
Tried TO Convict Him for Forgery.

His Father, BrOther-in-law and Sister
Tried to Convict Him for Forgery.
Parkersburg. w. Va, Oct. 80. Todd
Barrett was acquitted last night Of
the charge of forgery. This trial has
been in progress for two weeks and
the jury had been out in the case for
"a hours. This case excited the great
est interest here, for the reason that
there was a difference of opinion as
to his guilt. He is prominent citi-
zen and his father, brother law
and sister were the principal witness
es against him.
The father, the sister and tn e
brother in law all told on the witness
stand that the signatures which he
was accused of forging were not those
of the senior Barrett and of A. j.
Hannaman, which they purnorted to
be. A. L. Barrett, the accused. main
tanned that the signatures were gen.
uine and that the endorsers were
claiming that the notes were forged.
1t was dramatic to see the gray
haired old father on the witness
stand testifying that his son was II
forger, when if he admitted the sig
natures it would mean that his son
would go free, but he would have to
pay off the notes, amounting to sew
eral thouands of dollars.
The sister created scene in the
court room when she left the witness
stand by openly accusing her brother
of forgery and begging him to confess
all and spare his old parents shame
and humiliation There are other cases
of the same kind against Barrett, but
as the State probably put its. strongest
case first it would seem that the
chances for conviction in the other
cases is slight.

IN FULL OPERATION
ausY SCENES ar THE HANNls DIS
TILLERy co. PLANT.
Fffty-tsvo Barrels of Whiskcy Being
Made Day, which Is the Largest
Daily Output In the History
ofthe Distinery-Exten-


The Hannis Distillery. which has
been closed down since May 81, is
now in full operation, turning ont
daily output of tifty-two barrels of
whiskey. This is the greatest daily
output in the history of the dlstil-
lery, the greatest previous output IN
one day having been fifty barrels of
whiskey. Enough orders are already
on hand to keep the distillery in Oh
GRAFTON at this rate until the last of
next May, the usual time for closing
down on account of the hot weathser
which is detrimental to the mannfac-
ture of whiskey.
Extensive improvements have been
made during the summer and the dis
tillery started into operation this fall
more extensively equipped than ever
before. Besides the government en-
ployes who look aftrer the interests of
Uncle Sam, over sixty men are em-
ployed.
Few Of the citizens Of Martinshurg
have any idea of the extent of this in
dustry. which is the oldest manufac-
turing establishment in the city, hav-
ing been established in 1867.
In these days of hurry and excite
ment over the location of new indus.
tries, this old establishment, whose
output has attained a national and in
1 ternational fame, is almost lost sight
of. The plant, which is one of the
most complete and most up-to-date in
| the country, covers eight acres of
ground and it is most interesting
plant in6 eed. An Evening World rep
resentatiye dropped in the office on
| business Friday afternoon and was
shown through the establishment by
Hon. Alex. Parks. under whose wise
management the distillery has been
very prosperous.
Five hundred and sixty bushels OF
rye are used everv day III the manu-
facture of the whiskey. Out of everv
busheI 41s gallons of whiskey are got
ten This, it is said, is the greatest
amount of whiskey per bushel that is
distilled at any rye distillery in the
country. Through the output of fifty
two barrels of whiskev per dav the
Government gets daily revenue OF
81, 668.
The feed plant operated in connec-
ton with the dlstilIery is a big plant
in itself. At this plant, which is AN
invention of Mr. Parks, all the sslop'',
which heretofore went to waste, il
converted into feed, placed in bags
and most of it exported TO Germany,
where 1t is extensively used in feed
ing horses and cattle.
The distillery has been entirely
overhauled during the summer. The
copper improvements alone cost s., 900.
The Hannls Distilling Company,
which was incorporated in Maryland,
is now Incorporated under the laws OF
West Virginia, charter having been
issued from the Office of the Secretary
OF State and recorded in the County
CLERK S office in this county this fall.
