SOUTH PITTSBURG
LIQUOR CASES.
The South Pittsburg liquor cases
were reached Tuesday afternoon,
There was large docket and it took
nearly all the afternoon for the attor-
ney general to examine the witnesses.
About o. clock lie reported that he
was ready to try Geo. Deakins charg-
ed with whiskey selling. Mr.. Tatum
of Cameron, 1atum & Hall, counsel for
Deakins at once rose to a point that
a case against man named Adkins
preceded that of Deakins on the dock
ct and that it should be taken up first.
He further alleged that Adkins was to
be used as states evidence, and it so,
it would be an injustice to his client
to be tried first. This the court over
ruled. Jury No. 2 was in the box,
and Mr.. Tatum then proceeded to I
question each one regarding the case.
The point whether any of them were
nreiudiced against the sale of near
beer, etc, seems to have been the
sticking point, ana four were removed
before jury was secured. Trial was
resumed Wednesday morning
Wednesday morning the above cases
were discharged without trial ON pay
ment Of costs and agreement to close
M their places of business.
Yesterday was devoted principally
TO iail cases. Shelters, Myers and
Adams for hofsestealing, were sen
fenced to three years. but an effort
will be made to place them in re-
formatory. John Shehan, years for
ousebreaking. Walter Cartright,
lewdness, nollied ON costs. Will Long,
rane. continued. A number of cases
were continued. An interesting case
was that of Owen Bankhead, col,
charged with breaking aud entering,
which was ably conducted by Attor-
new J. T. Raulston, who was given
case by court
sion under Judge Shepherd, reported
late last night. -.
