Bert Smith was found guilty by jury
in Justice Phelps court yesterday after
noon of being drunk on the evening Of
May 70, when he created disturbance
at McNeal's restaurant. Justice Phelps
imposed fine of Sl5 and costs amount
ing to about $40, or thirty days in Jail
Smith, who has fought the case vigor
ousy, appealed to the circuit court, and
furnished bonds for 5000 for the appeal,
which carries the case to the October
term Of Circuit court.
The people had three witnesses, Mrs.
McNeal, Arthur Berry and w f Rain
Guard, all of whom were in the restaurant
when the affair occurred. The defense
rested its case without putting ou any wit
nesses. Its theory was that Smith was
under the influence of some drug.
This was the first case which Earl Bur
hans, the new assistant prosecutor, has
conducted alone, and he handled it very
creditably, especially against such re-
sourceful and experienced opponents as
