case was set for a retrial for

Justice Paxton's court, charging
Jenkins with perjury, alleging
that jenkins. when on trial, swore
that when he left Lordsburg, the
only whiskey he had in his pos
session was what he had inside
of him.
The County Attorney claims
that Jenkins is guilty of the il :
PRODUCTION of whiskey into the
State, and, if so, he lied on the
witness stand and is guilty of
perjury and ought to go to the
penitentiary, and not bea burden
on the county by being kept in
