NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Judge De Bolt granted a new trial
to Yokoyama and assigned the case TO
Judge Lindsay. Defendant was found
guilty of selling liquor without a Ii
cense. In the motion for new trial,
presented by Magoon & Lightfoot, be-
sides the usual general objection the
following reasons were assigned:
First. The jury engaged in the
trial of this defendant were unduly and
unnecessarily prejudiced against de-
PENDANT by the display in court of Ger
tain bottles presumably containing
spirituous liquor, which bottles We're
not introduced in evidence and had no
bearing on said cause.
Second. The court erred in charg-
ing the jury to the effect that, if they
believed that the room rent of one
dollar charged by the defendant to the
witness Mike was merely a blind. the
jury should convict there being no
evidence upon which the jury could
form such a belief"
