Fer the first time Missouri is
trying out the honor system" in
working convicts on the public
roads The thirty convicts at Min.
nicola have no guards. The only
officer who is with them T. superin.
tend their work does not carry a
gun. The men do not wear convict
earb. They are glad of the chance
TO work out in the open and the
governor has promised to give them
credit for an extra day on their
time for every three days of faith
full work. The experiment will be
watched with interest. The plan
has worked well in other states and
should do so in this state OF course
some care must be exercised in
selecting the men who are sent out
in this way. The state receives
SIPS a day for the labor of each
man on the job and they work eight
hours. being paid Individually fol-
any extra time put in.

Along with price regulation il is
important to keep the measure in

Five Cases Disposed Of
In The Criminal Court
Old Wines Case Is misunderstanding
Takes Just Two Minutes to
Convict Disker.

The old case of the state VS.. G. H.
Wines, a Yost Law violator. was dis
missed Yesterday morning at. the ses.
sion of the criminal court. Prac-
tically none Of the witnesses could be
located, and the defendant himself
was not present. With the consent
Of Bert Phillips and several others
connected with the state prohibition
department, the case was dismissed.
The case Of the city vs.. Nick Disker
was the first to come up before the
court. Disker was arrested on dis
orderly charge some time ago and
was fined in police court. Disker ap-
pealed the case, yesterday being the
date set for the trial Officer Sharp.
the officer who made the arrest, was
the only witness, and after his testi-
mony the jury deliberated for Pc
Rod of two minutes and turned IN q
verdict of guilty The jury was COM
posed of the following: George Means.
George LaF1am, James Frazier,
Thomas Carnahan, Henry Tape, Ru-
dolph Wager, Taylor Cunningham,
William Floto, Edward Abercrombie,
Harry Gompers, John M. Jones and
! Grover Weisgerber.
! Lawrence Davidson and John Gar
rison pleaded guilty when they were
! arraigned before Judge Robinson on a
charge OF stealing tire and several
! other automobile accessories David
son, who lives in Martins Ferry. was
released on parole owing to the fact
that he was only Is years OF age and
also upon the recommendation of the
prosecutor. Garrison will be held for
! further investigation, but it Is likely
that be also will be released on parole.
Nick Smith Is Freed.
Nick Smith was found not guilty
after short deliberation. Of violating
the Yost Law. Smith was formerly
the proprietor Of restaurant situated
below the market house, and was ar
rested on a complaint Of the prohibit
ton officers Of illegally selling into1-
icating liquors. Three of the employees
of the restaurant were placed on tho
witness stand, and swore that they
, had never witnessed the sale Of any
liquor Of any description in the res
. taurant. Prohibition officers main
! tain that they sent two men in the
place to see if they could purchase
beer. and that they came out Of the
restaurant sometime later with two
| bottles of beer
Mrs Booher proved to be a very I'M
willing witness in the appealed case
of the city VS.. George Booher. who
was arrested some time ago on a
charge Of running al Objectionable
rooming house at 902 Market street.
| Mrs. Booher refused to answer most
of the questions. in regard to her part
in the affair. This case is attracting
more than usual interest, and had any
more complications arisen it is prob
| able that the exposure of several
prominent men would have been made
in order to dispose Of the case. The
| jury returned a verdict similar to that
imposed in the police court at the time
Of the arrest. SO and costs.
