SERVING TIME IN KEENE.
Cod Raleigh of Hinsdale in Jail for
I,inuor Selling.

Thomas Raleigh OF Hinsdale, n. H.,
was placed in the Cheshire county jail
at Keene Monday night to serve a sen
tence Of 60 days, imposed by Judge
Chamberlain. He will also pay fine OF
$50 but through the efforts OF his coun,
sci, W. X. Daley of Brattleboro, he will
save $3.50 and four months OF imprison.
ment. Raleigh is well known in local
baseball and sporting circles. At the De
tober term OF the Cheshire county court
in 1905 the grand jury found five indict'
ments against Raleigh for selling liquor
without license. Raleigh pleaded guilty
TO all FIVE indictments and he was sen.
fenced to serve six months in Jail and
TO pay fine OF 5000 on each of three
indictments, the two others being con-
tinued and placed on the docket, where
they have been ever since. Raleigh paid
$500 on one Indictment but the rest OF
the sentence was suspended.
County Solicitor o. L. Cain Of Keene
had detectives on Raleigh's trail few
weeks ago and caught him selling liquor
without a license and on Saturday he
was arrested on a mittimus issued upon
one of the indictments in which sentence
of imprisonment had been suspended,
and he was taken to Keene and SEN
fenced to serve six months in Jail. Mr..
Daley appeared before the court Monday
and asked that the prisoner be released
and judgment be set aside as it was in
excess Of the statute provided for cases
of that kind and was therefore illegal.
His claim was that the statute under
which Raleigh was sentenced applied
only to licensees who had violated their
licenses, The court sustained the con-
tention and released Raleigh, whereupon
County Solicitor Cain called up the two
indictments on the docket, and under
one Of them Raleigh was sentenced to
serve six months in Jail and pay fine
of $50 The other indictment is still on
the docket Raleigh, through his attor-
ney. will bring suit against Cheshire
county to recover the 500 which he paid
under an Illegal sentence in 1905.
