Fine and Costs

Saturday the state supreme court
handed down decision affirming the
decision of the distrcrt court in the
case of DR.. J.J. Reilly, who during the
June term of last year was given a
sentence of ninety days in the county
Jail and fine of $500 and costs, amount
ing in all to l,15O for violation of the
prohibition law at his drug store in the
town Of Milton. At the time sentence
was pronounced in district court the
doctor sought to secure reversal, his
plea being that the evidence resulting in
his conviction was given by witness
who himself was guilty of violation of
the law and alleged to be his accomplice.
The supreme court, however, held that
when such accom- mplice's testimony is
corroborated in some respects it is to be
presumed that all his evidence is true.
Sheriff Drury went to Milton on Mon
day and placed DR.. Reilly under arrest.
He was found sick in bed but is in
charge of Deputy Allan Mcdonald,
until we'll enough to be brought to
Langdon to serve out his sentence. The
doctor already stands convicted of man
slaughter and & sentence of ten years
in the state penitentiary, An appeal in
this latter case is set for hearing in the
