Sentence.
Indictments under the new law
making the transportation Of thre,
gallons Of whisky or more a felony
and punishable by a penitentiar,
sentence were returned against 9
number Of alleged bootleggers Friday
afternoon by the Hamilton count,
grand jury. In each OF these cases
whether the whisky was being trans.
ported for medical purposes or not, II
the defendant Is found guilty he Is
sentenced to the penitentiary. Here
tofore many have been let off with q
fine where 1t was shown they were
transporting for their own use, but
the new law does away with this and
II the transporter has three gallons
or more he Is sentenced to one year
and one day and fined from $3.50 to
$500. Besides this the law allows, in
the event of conviction, the officer
making the arrest $50. The officer,
however, does not get the reward I'M
less the defendant is convic. cd and
sentenced to the penitentiary.
The report of the grand jury con-
tained the usual number of indict-
ments against bootleggers, but the
indictment, instead of charging the
sale of whisky as heretofore, charges
transporting three gallons. In cases
where the amount being transported
was less than three gallons the de-
PENDANTS were indicted for selling
whisky. Nothing of special interest,
with the exception Of what was pub
lished in yesterdays News, was con-
tanned in the grand jurys report.
