An Interesting Case.
Trial Of a Yorkville Druggist
for Violating Dispensary
Law.

oihNliie enquirer: The
next case taken up was that of
DIR. j. b. Bowen, charged with
violation of The dispensary law.
This is one of the cases commen-
ced last summer by the seizure
by the state constables of various
kinds of alleged medical prepara-
tions, used to a greater or less
extent as beverages. The town
of Yorkville assisted in the pro-
secution which was conducted
principally by w. w. Lewis, ESQ
town attorney. Thos. F. Mellow.
E'q., and j. S. Brice ESQ, ap.
peared for the defendant. The
state constabulary had assisted
IN getting up the testimony and
quite large number of witness
es were examined. State Chemist
Burney was here to testify as to
the amount of alchohol in the
various preparations in question
and did so testify. A repersen-
tatlve of the compounders of Hos
letters Bitters was also present
as witness for the defense. 1t
was testified in a manner. that
lett no room for question that
the various preparations contain
ed alcohol in sufficient quantity
to intoxicate and that they were
frequently used as beverages.
There was no evidence to deny
these facts. The defense admitted
the sale of the preparations as
alleged but claimed that they
were sold for medicinal purposes
DIR. Bowen testified that he made
1T an invariable rule to ask the
customer whether the goods
were to be used as a beverage or
as a medicine and unless the
customer declared "as medi
cine," he refused to sell. He
said that he was selling the goods
simply because of the demand
for tonics mentioned, the demand
having been created by the com.
FOUNDERS. Judge Prince decided,
that If it were a fact that the
medicines referred to contained
sufficient alcohol to intoxicate
and 1T were a fact that such
medicines were commonly used
Tor beverage purposes, the in
tent under which they were
sold was matter of no conse-
quence-a sale of such medi.
cines was a violation Of the law.
The jury remained out on the
case from Wednesday morning
until about 10 O'Clock Wednes
day night, and being unable to
agree, a mistrial was ordered.
