Special Correspondence OF The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June II, 1905.
A verdict of guilty was returned at 8
O'Clock yesterday evening by the jury in
the corporation court in the case of Rich
ard Burnett, indicted on the charge of SELL
ing liquor without license, and fine Of
$500 was imposed. To this the court added
a sentence of twelve months In the city jail.
Attorneys Lewis H. Machen and r. G. l..
MOncure, who represented the defendant,
moved to have the verdict set aside as be-
ing contrary to the law and evidence. and
also for new trial. but these motions were
overruled by Judge Barley. A stay of exc
cution for thirty days was granted and the
court announced willingness to accept bond
In the sum of $1,000 Burnett's wife. who
was indicted for the same offense, was dis
missed at the request of Commonwealth At
torney Brent. The case, which took up the
entire days session. attracted much local
attention. and a large audience listened to
the testimony and argument throughout the
proceedings. During the trial 1t appeared
that some of the testimony was materially
different from that given before the grand
jury. 1t Is said that this may give rise to
further developments. In addressing the
court Mr. Machen of counsel for the de-
Tense stated that nearly every grand jury
which met returned an Indictment against
his client for one thing or another. but called
attention to the fact that in nearly every
case Burnett had been acquitted.
The prisoner was unable to have his
surety arranged before court adjourned last
night and he spent the night in the city
Jail This morning he was brought into
court and the amount of his bond was
guaranteed by his mother and Mr.. william
Rogers.
