Ed Grendahl at the prison was too
much for her pent up feelings and she
gave vent to her feelings in bitter tears
that melted the hearts of all who heard
her. She rode beside her brother all The
way, pouring words of advice into his
ears, punctuating her words with many
sobs of genuine anguish. She loved her
hayward brother as only a sister can
love, and if this term does not bring
reformation to Ed Grendahl, it will not
be because of lack of love, advice and
tenderness from his sister.

grounds narrated yesterday and de-
tailed elsewhere today and not,
strictly speaking, in the progress of
the case.
After the motion for dismissal was
oyerruled yesterday the conflict mar
rowed down as to whether or not the
man who was arrested was the pro-
prietor of the public place in which
the liquor was found stored, it being
conceded by the defense that liquor
had been found there and that the
goods found was liquor. The prose-
cution did not agree to take the testi-
mony of Teachout on this question
and the defense refused to have him
sworn on the grounds that it was the
duty of the prosecution to prove that
he was the man who owned the lease
The court finally settled the question
by asking that Teachout be sworn
and the climax was reached when
this was done and he testified under
oath that he was not the man who
owned the lease on the building, or
run the business. but that the real
owner was his father, L. c. Teachout
With but a few minutes of cross
questioning both sides rested their
case and the verdict of the court was
mot guilty as stated above.
The progress of the trial this morn
ing was very friendly with the eX-
ception of Attorney Wheeler's de-
nunciation of Rev. Forsyth's action
and one wrathy word battle which
occurred between him and Attorney
Buclllin, and which arose when Mr..
Bucklin stated that the license to run
pool hall should be taken away
from Mr.. Teachout and Mr.. Wheeler
interjected, Yes, l understand you
have threatened to take 1t away from
him already

tort, that doesn't come from you

for the defense. and the case was re-
sumed to come to an end in a few
minutes later as has been detailed.

received from him as a rebate the
money which he paid out for the
whisky which he obtained for evil
dence. He also was brought to admit
that he had while on duty treated
others to drinks, and was for this,
ridiculed by Mr.. Wheeler for inter-
preting his duty as an officer in
tempting others to break the law and
to break the law himself by giving
whisky away in a dry territory. He
was asked the question, Have you
been arrested for giving away this
whisky, and did the officers of the
law know that you were breaking the
law when you were giving it away?"

"a Square Deal In This Court For Euery Man Todd
1EACHOUT, AFTER EXCITING TRIAL. IS ACQUITTED

There seems to be an impression
prevalent among large class of peo-
pie in this city that the filing of a
charge in this court is equal to a
conviction. Now this is not so. In
these cases and in any other cases
unless it is actually proven that a
man is guilty we have no desire to
find him so. And in this case the
prosecution has failed to prove Mr..
Teachout guilty; that he was the
owner of the Palace Billiard Hall or
had any interests in the business
Not a single witness swore that he
was the proprietor or the sole owner,
therefore, 1t is the judgment of the
court that the defendant is not
guilty"
The above decision of Mayor Todd
brought an end to the trial of George
Teachout on the charge of Illegally
selling whisky in the city of Grand
Junction, which trial was concluded
in municipal court this morning and
which began yesterday.
The trial was one of the most bril-
liantly argued case of this nature
ever held in the city and one in
which several lively tilts occurred
between the attorneys of the defense
and prosecution. But this feature of
the trial was confined almost solely to

Police Welsh for the arrest of E. C.
Teaohout who according to the testi-
mony is the legal proprietor of the
Palace Billiard Hall.
During the process of his argu-
ment Attorney Wheeler took occasion
to severely criticise Rev. Forsyth, of
the Methodist church. for urging and
advising his congregation to write
love letters to Mayor Todd. Love
letters" declared Mr. Wheeler. "of
the sweet-scented kind and which
letters Rev. Forsyth was so anxious
to get to Mayor Todd before the trial
of these cases. Rev Forsyth is so
prejudiced that any man would ap-
pear guilty in his eyes"
The trial this morning was largely
attended. The court room of the city
hall being filled to oyerflowing.
The tiers of bottled and bulked
liquors, secured in the raid of the
joints" arranged along the walls
of the court room, give a unique and
interesting stage setting for the pro-

Following the dismissal of Teach
out the trial of Ed Gallagher charged
with selling liquors in dry" town
and having same stored in his resi-
dence, was called. Both sides were
ready for trial. Attorney Wheeler
represented Mr.. Gallagher.

The case of Ed Gallagher was
taken up Immediately after the dis
missal of the case against George

Wheeler appeared as counsel for the
defense and City Attorney Bucklin,

Quoted on the same lines as those of
