Jury Clears Joe Chips
In SeUen Minutes On
Charge of MoDing Booze

Joe Chips was found not guilty
Wednesday night in the 34th district
court. after a two days trial on a
charge Of Transporting liquor into the
ten mile zone. The Indictment in the
case was based on 4 raid by sheriff
Seth B. Orndorff on a truck which was
alleged to have been carrying about
$1,000 Of liquor from New Mexico into
FL Pas0. The acquittal came seven
minutes after the testimony was con-
cluded
Chips contended. and presented tes-
timony to that effect. that he was
having the liquor hauled from Berino,
y NJ. TO Alamogordo. and had come by
way OF FL Paso county TO avoid bad
roads.
The case was interesting by reason
OF the fact that numerous witnesses
not acquainted with the facts in the
case were presented. Harry Potter
for instance. was called to testify that
a truck could not have made the di-
rect trip over the mountains: while
G. a Martin was called on TO testify
as to distances between the points in
