J. G. SAUNDERS CLEARED.
Found Not Guilty of Dispensing
LIQUOR to a Minor.

James G. Saunders. proprietor of a
saloon on 9Th street northwest near
Pennsylvania avenue. was acquitted on
a charge of dispensing liquor to a
minor by jury in the Police Court
yesterday afternoon. Saunders was ar
rested about a month ago by Detec-
tive Evans of the sixth precinct who
had followed George Brown colored
into the place. With Brown was
girl whose appearance had attracted
Evans attention. as he thought her
rather youthful to be entering a place
where liquor was served.
Detective Evans said he saw her
drinking in the place and questioned
her about her age. She said at the
time that she was twenty years old
but. according to her testimony on the
stand yesterday. she is in reality only
eighteen years old.
Saunders. said that the girl had been
previous occasions with no question as
to her age, and Assistant Corporation
Counsel John NJ. George took the
ground that this fact, if true, pointed
out that the proper care was not ex-
ercised by those in charge, as the girl
appeared to him to be unqueStionably
a minor.
Judge Pugh. in his charge, instructed
the jury to find Saunders not guilty
of the charge against him If. in it's
opinion. he was justified in thinking
the girl to be unquestiOnably twenty
one years old or more.
