J. H. Edwards, a juror, discussing
the proceedings in the jury room, said:
"We gave the defendants the benefit
of the doubt. We did not believe the
government had made out strong
case We did not attempt to analyze
the figures presented by the govern

PERPETUAL IMPRISONMENT.

The individuals who have been
violating the law deliberately ane
repeatedly have been warned by
Judge T. f. Bell of perptual impris-
onment.
This defiance of law has become
aggravated by individuals who have
been selling intoxieants regardless
of the law Of prohibition.
The penalty fixed by fines and inn
or working on the pub
lie roads is no deterrent to such Of
tenders.
II has developed that if these Of
tenders escape arrest for a month
or so they can make money suffi-
cient to pay the fines which have
been imposed by the court and will
accept the thirty or ninety days on
the public roads. at the -Cadde Par
ish Farm, where they receive hu-
name attention and are we'll kept
and we'll fed.
As proclaimed by Judge Bell,
hereafter the penalty of each Of
fender appearing a second time will
be doubled and trebled for the third
offense, and for the fourth perpet-
ual Imprisonment.
The law breakers must be i'm
pressed with the realization that the
law is no joke and each yiolator will
be held to the fullest accountability
for his defiance and contempt of the
law.
