AN INTERESTING TRIAL
IN RECORDERS COURT
''Bill' Smith Found Not Guilty of Run.
ming His Automobile Without
Muifler On.

There was full house on Tuesday
morning at Recorder Earhardt's court
to witness the 1 rial OF Mr. Bill
Everybody calls him by the popular
name of BID Smib2 for running his
automobile without the muff!er on,
which act he was charked with COM
hitting on Sunday night, July 4. At
least he was accused of having driven
his car up and down Main street on
t at night without sufficiently muf-
fling the noise of the machine as pro-
duced by the exhaust, and as required
by law. Mr.. Smith is the active dem
onstrator at Summers garage. When
not otherwise busily engaged at
the garage he is generally demonstrat-
ing over tie city, sometimes alone,
sometimes in company, more or less.
On this particular occasion he was
demonstrating with Messrs Bennie
Mayes, Ned Purcell, Forrest Summer,
Frazier Evans and David Caldwell.
The following persons served as
the jury: Messrs. G. L. Robinson,
foreman; ]. J. Hit, Jno. B. Mayes, J.
H. Turner, Duncan Johnson and Ivy
Cromer
Lawyer J. B. Hunter, city attorney,
in the discharge of his duty, conducted
the prosecution, while Lawyer E. S.
Blease, counsel for the defense, ably
and successfully handled his side of
the case.
The prosecution had no witnesses
except Chief Duncan and Policeman
Stone. The officer who had notified
Mr. Smith that he must put up bond
for his Observation-Disclosures Mel
ton-was not brought forward as a
witness, although present. The de-
fense had a strong array of witnesses.
Mr.. Smith denied positively and most
emphatically the charge of violating
the automobile ordinance on the said
occasion. His word was supported by
the consistent testimony of his COM
panions of the night in question;
whiG, unvarying evidence was fully
corroborated by Mr.. Harry w. Domi-
nick. the one lone witness outside Of
the bunoa, whose testimony added
weight to the evidence already. sub
mitted.
The spectators enjoyed the proceed
ings, which were enliyened by the wit
ticisms of Lawyer Blease; as for in
s.ance his side remark that Sin that
case, baby carriages would have to be
muff!ed," and lis ironical illusions to
experts" etc. The city failed to prove
it's case. 1t was evident from the first
that Mr.. Smith would win out. AS
Lawyer Blease said, it was not That
Chief Duncan's and Officer Stones ve-
racity was doubted IN the least, they
were rather to be commended for t5eir
vigilance in the discharge of their duty
of enforcing laws, which should be
more strictly enforced, but that in this
instance they were mistaken, however
Honestly, in their supposition of case
against Mr.. Smith. 1t was simply an
instance of seven reputable witnesses
against two. And there was nothing
for the jury to do but bring in ver-
dict of mot guilty." which they did.
Mr.. Smiths prompt acknowledg-
ment that he had never denied former
d:arges of speeding, coupled with his
firm denial in this instance, was a
factor in his favor.
