TAKE HIS CASE TO
COURT OF APPEALS
J, 0. Terry's shrewd Defense in the
United States District
Court.

The distinguished gentleman who once
said, He who appears as his own law
yer has a fool for a client" did not
know j. o. Terry.
Though found guilty of violating Inter
nal Revenue laws in the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday afternoon, J. o. Ter
ry is again, by dint Of his own shrewdness
in conducting his defense, practically a
free man. He was sentenced Tor sixty
days in jail by the court but promptly
gave notice of his intention to take an
appeal to the United States Circuit
Court off Appeals, and on this ground
was released on $1,000 bond for his ap-
pearance on April LIST. the first day Of
the next term of the court, to file his de-
claration in the appeal.
THE INDICTMENT.
The Indictment on which Terry was
tried was filled out upon the regulation
blank furnished by the Internal Revenue
Department and contained the following
charges:
l. Having in possession still set up.
2. Carrying on an illicit distiilery.
B. Working in an Illicit distillery.
4 Running a distillery and not hav-
ing posted a sign as required by law
5. Conveying about eight gallons Of
illicit wlliskey from the still.
g. Conveying raw material to the still
He was acquitted on all these, save the
last one, that Of carrying raw material
to the STILL Terry noted exception on the
ground, first that he could not be tried
legally under the one indictment for all
the offences named therein, when the
law imposed different penalties for the
several charges; and second, that the
verdict was not sustained by the evidence.
CONDUCTED HIS OWN DEFENSE.
Terry, who has been a prisoner in the
United States Courts for more than a.
year, charged with illicit distilling. has
conducted his own defense in such;
a manner as to attract the attention and
provoke the comment of the entire bar.
of the city. Yesterday afternoon, after
having hung two iuries during the pres
entz term of the Unied States District
Court. he was found guilty, and suc1, a
verdict was rendered alter the twelve
men had wrestled with the evidence since
the previous day. The jury had but to
say guilty or not guilty, and the penalty
was to be dxed by the court In this
case the jnry said guilty, but specified:
that they found the prisoner guilty only
OF conveying raw materials to, the still.
for the PURPOSE OF manufacturing Illicit
goods. This was certainly the weakest
point In the Indictment. As Judge Wad-;
