toxicating liquor, after Deputy Sheriffs
A. M. Morrison and w. r. Cutler had
made two pint seizure in a repository

farmstead up Graniteville way. Evil
dence offered during the forenoon tended
to show that the Enrights had been law
ish with their hospitality, although the
state failed to show where the host and
his wife had received money for intoNi-
eatiIs liquor. Come noon. there were a
dozen witnesses yet to be heard, and
it was decided to continue the case until
saturday January a. 1913.
Owing to the absence of several wit
nesses and the failure of Others to ap-
pear, it was agreed to hold the case over
Tor a week the respondent continuing
to rest under $500 bonds until that day.
One witness, Daniel Mcfarland. came
into court with suspicious air about
his person, and as events transpired the
little aisle which leads to the witness
stand was only stepping stone to a cell
at police headquarters Mcfarland was
about to mount the stand when the
court noticed his condition and ordered
Deputy Morrison to lock him up on an
charge. His testimony will
probably be heard at later date.
