ACQU|T DR.. KERR.
ON | INDICTMENT
Another Indictment Will Be
Brought Against the
Physician.
MAY DISMISS OTHER
State Was Handicapped By
Unwillingness of Corey
to Testify.

A verdict Of acouittal was returned
at 220 o'clock this afternoon in the
Wayne circuit court in the case of the
state versus DR.. J. D. Kerr. the Green's
fork physician, charged with having
sold liquor illegally. The jury receiv-
ed the case at 10:45 o'clock. The vote
stood 10 to for acquittal on all bal
lots.
1t is likely that one of the other two
indictments which were returned by
the grand jury Of the October term
will be dismissed.
The prosecutor brought out many
points for the state in his final argu-
ment. That DR.. Kerr was selling IL
quor for the past eight or nine years
was brought out by the state and that
a civic organization composed Of rep
utable citizens of the village had re-
quested the physician not to sell
liquor unlawfully was introduced by
the testimony of Daniel Moore, a
banker of the village, and Thomas
Tarkleson, a lumber dealer. The on
ly assurance the citizens secured from
DR.. Kerr was that he would not sell
liquor to the drunkards who were in
the habit of loafing about his office,
the prosecutor said.
The state was handicapped by the
unwillingness of the states witness,
Harry Corey, to testify as to how he
obtained the liquor from DR.. Kerr At
torneys for the defense attempted to
prove that Corey obtained LIQUOR for
medical purposes only.

"A taste for acting is one Of the
strongest passions of human nature"
This has been quoted before by the
writer but it is frequently apropos.
And presented itself to the mind
last evening at the Y. NJ. c. A. min
strels given in the Gennett for the
benefit of the Boys summer camp.
Events of this character are illu-
minating. In that they develop latent
stage talents, or give those possess
ing them an opportunity for the lat
ter's exploitation or display.
The youngsters gave one of the best
entertainments Of the sort We have
yet had from the ranks of the anna
teurs, their principals including some
Of tho local leaders in this form Of
Theatres, who put it over" in great
form.
The first part was we'll whipped into
shape and put through with dispatch
by the interlocutor, Howard Messick,
and the end men who included Ralph
Snaveley, Edward Ryan, Jaul James.
Clarence Turner, Benton Barlow and
Harold Myers.
The boys in their conventional even
ing clothes made a fine stage appear
ance and the opening chorus was Civ
en- with vivacity and verve. The solo
lists were unusually good and had the
distinct merit of vocal carrying power
and clear enunciation. In fact they
would have no cause for that famed
trepidation on this score if lined up
with professionals, as very few of the
latter could exceed them in these two
phases of their presentations.
Especially was this true of Mr.. Tur'
ner and Mr.. Barlow whose voices
would fill the Hippodrome.
One of the best things Of the first
part was the solo Use on the Choo

has distinct talents as a comedian and
who was excessively droll in the sec
ond part in his role in the musical
sketch, Harmonious Ragtime," with
Barlow and Harris. Mr.. Harris, at thi,
time, gave an exhibition of his talents
as a ragtime pianist.

WILL BUILD SEWER
Gem Says Work Will Start
Immediately.

Street Commissioner Gem will start
work tomorrow on the new sewer
which will be placed at Liberty
avenue and South L streets. Mr. Gem
stated that this sewer has caused
more trouble in his department than
any other sewer.
The county commissioners built a
sewer on South L street which was not
large enough to carry of the mud from
the street. Instead of making a sep.
arate outlet to the river, the city
sewer was tapped. This caused the
sewer to all numerous times and en-
tailed great expense to the city. as
the sewer was only large enough to
carry away water from Liberty
avenue.
