ABBOTT GUILTY;
STEWART IS NOT
BOTH WERE CHARGED WITH
HAVING LIQUOR LICENSES IN
THEIR POSSESSION.

When the Legislature of 1915 passed
law regarding the possession of
liquor licenses, practically every beer
dealer in the state had one. and all
of these have been indicted, and in
many cases convicted and fined. Yes
terday T. j. Abbott explained to
Judge Highsmith that the passage of
the law found such license in his
possession; that there was no way for
him to get rid Of it; that his name
as owner of such license was of rec
ord in the office of the internal reye-
nue. collector in Atlanta, and there
was nothing left for him to do except
enter a plea of guilty. He was fined
500.
Then came the case of Wiley Stew
art, colored, charged with the same
offense, and the jury returned a ver-
dict of not guilty. AS stated above.
the new law found hundreds, of near
beer dealers with such licenses. In
one case here. the holder rendered
the license to the former solicitor
general, who, Of course, would not
take it. He was indicted, tried by a
jury and paid fine of 500, as did
the defendant yesterday. In the mean
time, Mr.. Abbott should be "sorry he
spoke
