SENSATION OCCURS
In LIQUOR CASES

Mobile, July PA sensation was ere
ated here today in the hearing of the
prohibition violation case against Walter
p. Johnston in the city court, when the
foreman of the jury announced that the
entire body would not believe the testi-
mony of e. c. Woodward said to be a
Law and Order league detective from
Nashville, and who was the states prin-
cipal witness, unless his testimony was
thoroughly corroborated, and that 1t would
be useless for them to try other cases
in which he was the only witness. The
jurymen asked to be discharged, and the
request was granted by the court, but at
torneys LOT the defense stated that an
agreement had been reached with the So
licitor in other cases. as there were other
witnesses besides Woodward, and the
veniremen were called back to their seats.
Another small sensation was caused
when Woodward said that he did not
know George Hoffman one of the defend
ants, and whose case was to be tried
after Johnston. Woodward had sworn out
the warrants against Hoffman. Hoffman
was thereupon dismissed. Johnston was
found not guilty.
