TIE maximum sentence for the lille
ral possession of liquor was imposed
nv Recorder Atkins yesterday in the
municipal court on Joseph $. Dyer and
Charles c. Bailey, both of Litchfield,
after hearing in which was brought
ont evidence not only on the liquor
onestion but also tending to show that
both men had also been abusing a
horse. Probable cause was found on
tie latter charge and they We're held
under bonds of 500 for the January
term of court. The sentence in the il
legal possession case was fine OF

peal was taken through Attorney T.. w.
Whitehouse Of Augusta and the bonds
were placed at 5000 each. At $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon the men
had been unable to obtain sureties and
they were taken to the county Jail.
The case was marked for the extreme
contradiction of the testimony of the
States witnesses and that of the re-
spondents. The principal witness for
the state was Nellie r. Fogg, daugh-
Ter tI Dyer. SSIie gave Her age dS 10
years. She was the woman driving the
beech wagon Monday afternoon which
the officers took and found therein 81
pints OF whiskey. Her testimony placed
the ownership of the liquor on the two
respondents and was the chief reason
of thair being held on the cruelty

our in Richmond and carried it in his
own team for some distance. but when
they had nearly reached Gardiner the
lioucr was transferred into the beach
wagon which she was driving. the eX-
cuse of the men being that the officers
wouldn't search her team. When Bailey
gave his testimony later in the trial.
he denied changing the liquor over at
first, but after q severe crosS-exami-
nation admitted that the girl told the
truth.
The girls story of cruelty was also
convincing and, in the mids of nearly
everyone in the court room. was true.
She told how Bailey and Dyer drove
the old buckskin horse Saturday and
she saw them take turns plying the
long-lashed whip aboIt it's body to
make it go faster. She said the horse
was bloody under the belly when it
got in the yard and she washed the
blood off. She told also of how Bailey
put a sponge up the horses nose to
prevent it's "whistling" and that in or
der to get it down aways he put "A long
piece of hay wire up the animals nos
tril and bruised the skin so that blood
flowed freely and that there was blood
in the barn where the animal stood.
Being oss-examined by Attorney
Whitehouse, the young woman stated
that she was on good terms with her
father but that the testimony she gave
was true. She admitted that the 6-year-
old lad with her was intoxicated from
drinking from the quart bottle of wine
