prohibition laws, has been settled am
icably according to a report received by
Mr.. Cabell, commissioner of internal

instituted under the jurisdiction of State
Judge Fite against George W. Cureton,
who, it was alleged, had continued to
operate a distillery in defiance of law,
Charles E. Stegall. a government store
keepr, for contempt of court, because he
declined to disclose official information
regarding the Cureton distillery, which
he was prohibited doing by statute, and

officers and revenue agents over an eff
fort of the sheriff to obey Judge Fite's
order to seize the distillery.

a result of the controversy, either have
been dismissed or allowed to lapse, and
there is now no conflict between the fed

NOT FATAL TO ALL

day that the hamburger steak alleged
to have contained arsenic, which proved
fatal to Alexander j. Moody was par

death and had eaten u small portion
when interrupted by Frank Moody, who
took the remainder and turned il over
to Dr. S. S. Hartmann, the family ply
sician. In this latter DIR. Walter Haines
found much arsenic but OFT is said
to have suffered no Illness. The lat
ter was interviewed by Coroner Hoff-
man today. The coroner told reporters
that he attached little Importance to
the story of Otis experience and OFT
probably was fortunate enough to have
eaten a piece not impregnated with the
poison.

scheduled for April 12 were issued to-
day for Mrs. Moody and Peter Peterson,
the latter a former employee and later
friend of the Moody family. Peterson
