ACCUSED OF SELLING MINOR.
But Mobley Is Acquitted of Fight
inr Sixteen-Year-Old Bow.

In consequence of damaging admissions
upon the witness stand in the Police
Court this morning when John Mobley
was tried and acquitted upon charge
of engaging in an ARRAY, a second charge
OF furnishing liquors to minors was filed
against him. Mobley lives in the south
eastern section Of the city.
The hearing on the new charge is
scheduled for tomorrow morning. Pend
ing his arraignment he was committed 10
Jail.
Mobley and sixteen-year-old boy. Ern-
est Downs, were arrested yesterday after
noon near the gashouse in the southeast
quarter of the city while engaged in a
vicious fist fight. Taken to the fifth pre-
cinct station house it was learned that
both had been drinking heavily all day.
The police made repeated efforts to as
certain where the liquor consumed by
young Downs had been obtained without
result. II was then decided to let the
defendants appear before the Juvenile
and Police courts, respectively simply on
the ARRAY charge.
This morning, when Mobley was ques-
toned regarding the manner in which the
the result OF a drunken brawl, and that
throughout the day
Further questioning brought out facts
sufficient to warrant further investiga-
ton and the filing Of the papers in the
second case. The trial of young Downs
is scheduled for this afternoon in the
Juvenile Court upon the same charge that
Mobley was tried under this morning.
