r. G. ROGERS ACQUITTED.
Found Not Guilty Of Selling Liquor
Without a License.

The case of the state against Fisk
@. Rogers of West Dummerston,
charged with selling liquor without a
| license, was heard in Townshend's
han Saturday morning before Justice
! +. d. l.. Stowe and jury composed
of c. T. Reed, Charles Crosby, G. b.
Field, Hoyt Spaulding and l.. L..
Stark which after 80 minutes deliber-
alton brought in verdict of not gull
ty much to the surprise Of all parties
concerned. States Attorney A. F.
Schwenk appeared as prosecuting Of
ficer while Mr. Rogers was represented
by Judge l.. L. Waterman, f. w. Glib
son and r. c. Bacon The state made
the claim that Mr.. Rogers was selling
liquor Illegally because his license had
not been countersigned and recorded
by Dummerston's town clerk, Adm f.
Miller The attorneys for Mr.. Rogers
claimed that he had done all he could
toward making the licenses legal even
10 rendering the town clerk the license
fees of $500, and that he should not
be held responsible for the neglect or
refusal of that official 10 do his duty.
Copies of Mr.. Rogers's license, which
he hung in his barroom in lieu of the
originals, We're introduced by the de-
fense as evidence in spite of strong
protest by the state.
The charges on which Mr.. Rogers
was acquitted only extend to June %,
so that he can be arrested again for
any selling which he has done since
that time. While the jury in Satur-
days case was out, a writ of manda-
mus issued by Judge ]. NJ. Tyler was
served on Town Clerk Miller by Depu
ty Sheriff c. l. Knapp, ordering him to
appear before the Supreme court in
October and show cause why he
should not sign the licenses.
