KOHL GOES FREE.
But Porter Patterson Is Con-
Victed of Selling Liquor.

After City Attorney Spencer had
contested and argued various points in
the Charles Kohl liquor case, in hopes
of securing a conviction, Kohl finally
escaped paying the penalty on account
of a technical error in the papers of
the case
After Spencer had won his point that
Kohl could be tried on copies of the
original papers, which We're lost, the
evidence was submitted on the part of
the prosecution. The evidence was
fairly good for a conviction. When
the prosecution had finished Judge
Hazen decided that the complaint was
improperly drawn and the jury was
instructed to bring in a verdict of not
guilty.
Then Mr.. Spencer went to work on the
case against Otto Anderson The evi-
dence was weak and the jury was out
but a few minutes and returned a YER
dict finding Anderson not guilty of sell
ling liquor illegally.
This morning Mr.. Spencer resumed
the fight against liquor selling by prose-
cutting the case against Porter Patter-
son, cOlored, charged with selling liquor
at dwelling house at 1418 King street.
William Oglesby testified that he had
been in the house 200 or 300 times but
he said he never bought any liquor there
and never drank any there. He said he
went to Patterson's so often to get
drinks of ice water from the ice box.
John Ewing testified that he had
bought liquor of Patterson. Then Mrs.
f. ]. Over electrified the court room
and startled the defense with the an
nOuncement that she had seen the beer
wagon deliver beer at the Patterson
house three and four times week She
saw men go into the house sober and
come out drunk. She said from the eff
feet of the stuff dispensed she thought
the beer was mixed with whisky. The
jury thought Mrs over knew what she
was talking about and brought in a
verdict of guilty in less than five min
