Sale of Tobacco to Minors.

j. w Pierce. a merchant in Marietta
street. Is under bond of $500 today as
the result of a plot by two small boys,
pupils Of the State street school. to
evade the law and buy cigarettes.
The boys. Ralph Gray, twelve years
old, 7s Hampton street, and Joe Gallo
way. ten years old. A Hampton street,
confessed TO Recorder Broyles that they
framed up an order for the cigarettes,
faxed a signature and then rendered It
to the merchant.
Pierce admitted that he sold the
cigarettes. but said he thought the or
der was genuine, and that the boys
were merely getting them for the man
whose name was signed, y. w. Smith"
Judge Broyles said the law prohibiting
the sale of cigarettes to minors made
no reference to an order. and held that
the merchant was just as guilty as
though no order had been presented.
He then bound Pierce over to the state
courts.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice by the principal of the State street
school when the two lads We're discov-
cred smoking cigarettes.
The Gray boy told Judge Broyles
Galloway wrote the order, but the lat
ter boy denied this. He said he merely
furnished the paper and pencil and his
companion did the rest.
