IS BUSINESS OF A
 BOOTLEGGER
JESSE JOHNSON TELLS JUDGE HE REGARDS TRANSACTION WIT H SUPPLY SOURCE AS A DEAD SECRET.
(From Tuesdays Dsily.)

That dealings of bootleggers in these parlous times, are regarded as "confdential," especially by the hard working law officers, who are so put to it to dig up proper evidence, is ad- mitted. But to have a confessed dealer in liquor, tell his judge that the transaction was one to which he hoped to exclude the pitiless white light of publicity, is a new thing.
 Jesse Johnson, colored, of Clark dale, naively related the tale of his fall from grace and the comparatively elevated position of plastercr, ycster- day, when Judge F. O. Smith ques- toned him in the Superior court room. Jesse said that the wife of a fellow mixer of lime being i'll and in a mood to engulf certain quantities of "red-eye.' he had engaged to find her some. Application to a friend proved successful, and he procured the ma terial for a goodly headache.
 And who did you say you bought it from?" he was asked.
 "Ah didn't say. jcdge. An regahd ed that transaction as strickly conf- dcntial, and less An jest has to. An don't like to say"
 Judge Smith told him he would have until sentencing time, 10 o'clock this morning, to think it over, and determine just how confidential the should be.
