WILL Be PARl9NEl
Man Who Sold "Bevo" TO Be
Relieved of Remainder
of Sentence.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Oct. 15.-1n
May, 1910. C. M. Tillett was indicted
by the grand jury of Upshur county
for selling intoxicating liquors with
out license therefor. Tillett had a
stand at the county fair and sold
"Bevo" sold to Tillett by the Fairmont
Brewing Company as non-intoxicant.
1t appears that this "Bevo" could
cause intoxication about as readily as
any beer ever sold. This was proved
and Tillett was given sentence of
two months in the county Jail and to
pay a fine of $25. Tillett continued to
contend that he was innocent of any
intention to violate any law, as he had
purchased the drink with the under
standing it was notwithstanding.
Others became interested in the case
and the matter was placed before the
pardon attorney, who recommended
that the jail sentence be RENTED and
this is now approved by the governor.
Tillett's wife is now dangerously i'll
and can live but little longer.
