in his possession. 1t is believed that
he was influenced and persuaded to
leave AT least, his course would sus-
tain this inference.
Being a young man of good repute,
having parents who are held in the
highest esteem, instead of skipping, he
should have made clean breast of his
knowledge in connection with such vio-
lation of the law as he possessed.
In his present predicament he stands
discredited by good and law-abiding cit
izens,, and he may be apprehended, if
not very soon, at least some day, when
he may not expect it.
1t is very true that his parents are
possessed of wealth and influence, but
having forfeited whatever claim to in
dulgence and sympathy he had OBJ
tanned, he can no longer plead extenua-
ton for this most deliberate offense,
the skipping of his bond, his feeling
from the State and his failure to keep
his word as was expected of a gentle
man and good citizen.

j. E. FLANAGAN
Has Skipped His Bond and Fled into
Texas

J. E. Flanagan is the young man who
was in the employ of the Scofeld Phar-
macy and who with H. B. Scofeld had
been arrested on information filed by
District Attorney Foster for selling
liquor without license.
When the trial of H. B. Scofeld was
called Friday morning Flanagan, who
was expected to be witness for the
State, failed to answer his name when
called by Deputy Sheriff Otis. An in
quiry followed when it was. developed
that he had failed to report, as expect
ed, and that he had skipped his bond
and gone to Texas.
This action of Flanagan placed the
State in somewhat disadyantageous
attitude, as it was proposed to prove
through him Scofeld's connection with
the sale of whiskey in the Scofeld drug
store.
Flanagan's bond was declared for
feited. His bondsrnan is DR.. Schum-
pert, and the bond is fixed at $3.50.
Flanagan was not only an important
witness for the State, but it was on his
revelations before the Grand Jury that
a bill of indictment was found against
Scofeld for selling whiskey in contra
vention of law. It is certainly not to
the credit of Flanagan to have skipped.
He should have been steadfast and
faced the issue. His skipping is an ad-
mission of guilt; besides, it is inter
preted in the sense that he dared not
appear in court and testify to the facts

edge of whiskey having been sold in his
drug store and if sold by Flanagan it
was sold against his direct and positive
orders
When queried as to what Flanagan
did with the whiskey money, if he put it
in the cash register and registered up
or kept it for his own use, Scoheld re-
Piled that he did not believe that Flana-
gan was dishonest, but was satisfied he
had put the money in the cash box, but
that he (Scofeld) had no knowledge
that Flanagan did sell the whiskey and
he reiterated that if he did sell he sold
without his orders and therefore he
| (Scoheld) could not be held to account
| for his clerk violating this instruction.
Scofe1d said he did not know Need
ham nor could he recall having seen
him in the drug store.
When Needham was recalled he tes-
tilted that Scofeld had talked with him
when he was in the drug store at the
time he had purchased the whiskey from
| Flanagan.
The case was resumed Saturday
morning for arguments. Attorney w.
A. Mabry made strong plea for his
client, holding him guiltless as he had
no knowledge of the sale of this whis-
key by Flanagan, who had not followed
Scofe1d's instructions not to sell.
The argument by District Attorney
Foster was pointed and forceful. He
| held that Scofeld should be. convicted
and cited authorities to sustain the plea
that Scofeld had failed to discharge
| Flanagan when he had discovered he
had disobeyed his orders and had re-
tanned him in his service until he had
forfeited his bond and skipped into
Texas to evade the law.
| Judge Murff reviewed the evidence
and gave the accused the benefit of the
doubt, since the State had not made it
clear that Scofeld had knowledge that
the whiskey was being sold against his
instructions.
II is unnecessary to offer comments,
since each individual may reach his own
conclusion, particularly in connection
with the skipping of Flanagan into Tex
as.
While the result of this case may be
disappointing to some citizens, Judge
Murff's decision is fair and must be ap-
proved by all men who are not moved
by prejudice in their conclusions
If Judge Murf was fair in his decis
bion in this Scofe1d case, it follows that
he was equally fair in the "Ninety-nine'
and other cases which have resulted in
convictions for violation of the law in
selling intoxicants without license.
1t is lucky man who escapes, but
each offender convicted should accept
the verdict philosophically and take his
medicine without squirming.
