WH|SKEY CASE
FINALLY ENDS
jury BROUGHT nv A VERDICT
OF GUILTY AGAINST
T. J. ABBOTT.
A Fine of $500 Was Imposed by Judge
krauss-First Placed 1t at $3.50, But
Later Reduced lt-A Hard-Fouqht
Case.

One of the most interesting and
hotly- contested whisky cases that
has come up in Glynn county since
the prohibition law went into effect
came to an end yesterday morning,
when the jury in the case of the
state VS.. 7. J.. Abbott, charged with
selling whisky, brought in a verdict
OF guilty.
The case was given to the jury late
Monday afternoon. The entire day
was consumed in making up the jury,
introducing evidence and the argu-
ments of the two attorneys in the
case, and all during the day the
courtroom was comfortably crowded
with interested spectators.
When the jury failed to reach a
verdict few hours after retiring it
was at once predicted that another
mistfial would be the result, but yes
terddy morning the twelve men en-
tered the courtroom and announced
they had made up a verdict. 1t was
read by the clerk and the result did
not come as surprise to those who
had followed the case.
Judge Krauss at once passed SEN
tence. He at first imposed a fine of
$3.50, but later reduced it to $500. 1t
is understood that the fine will be
paid, which means the end of the
case.
This is the third time this case has
been tried in the city court. Once
before Abbott was convicted, but a
new trial was granted by the supreme
court and the case was tried last
week, resulting in mistrial.
The case has been the most stub
bornly fought of any of the many
WHISKY cases which have been tried
in Glynn county in recent years. The
defendant was represented by Judge
Max Isaac, while Solicitor Dart looked
after the states side of the case. In
almost every whisky case that has
been tried during Mr. Darts incum-
bency as solicitor a verdict of guilty
has been the result, and this last vic
tory adds to the record the solicitor
has already made.

The Manufacturers Record Of Au-

That there is a marked revival in
