TOWN POLITICS
IN BOOZE CASE
Case Of State Against O. K. Farnum
Being Tried in Municipal Court
Complaint by T. E. Mead.

Trial of the case of the state against |
C. X. Farnum of Guilford, charged with
selling liquor Illegally and with furnish
ing, began before Acting Municipal Court
Judge T. d. E. Stowe and jury in the
municipal court room this forenoon and
is now III progress, the afternoon session
beginning at l.30 o'clock.
Two witnesses were examined this
forenoon, both being called by the state.
The first was Truman L. Mead, a Gull
ford farmer who lives in Weatherhead
Hollow and whom it developed, was the
one who ordered and received the liquor
and who entered the complaint to the
states attorney after he had lost his job
of carrying pupils by reason OF the open
ing Of school recently of which Mrs.
Farnum is the teacher.
1t appeared that Mr.. Farnum, who is a
Guilford farmer living two houses away
| from Mr.. Mead, was delivering groceries
in 1917 for Anterior & Son of. Bernard
ston, Mass. Mr.. Mead testified that on
Awe occasions in 1917 and once in Janu
airy, 1918, the respondent took orders
from him for whiskey and brought the
| goods up from Bernardston. States At
torney Harrie B. Chase introduced six
| checks made out to him by Mr.. Mead
and it appeared that the liquor bought
| by Mr.. Mead within eight months ag-
gregated five gallons and one quart. Mr..
Mead said he did not pay for the liquor
until it was delivered.
Cross examined by Attorney Frank f.
| Barber for the defense Mr.. Mead said
! that on the first occasion that he or
dered liquor he supposed Mr.. Farnum
was violating the law yet he asked him
4 five times after that TO bring him liquor.
H 1t appeared that Mr.. Farnum was elected
school director on town meeting day and
that Mr.. Mead said at that time that Mr..
Il Farnum ought to be arrested. 1t APP
peared that he had not spoken TO Mr..
l Farnum since the latter's wife began
teaching school, although they We're on
| good terms when the checks were passed.
1t was. since he lost his job OF carrying
pupils that he desired to have the re-
spondent convicted There was some
controversy when Mr.. Barber asked MIR
Mead if he made any Illegal use of the
liquor secured for him and the court
finally excluded the question, and the de-
Tense took an exception TO the supreme
court Mr.. Barber said he would show
that Mr.. Farnum secured the liquor fol
Mr. Mead purely as an accommodation
and received nothing for ii.
Mrs. Frank Jacobs wife of Guilford
farmer, was then called by the state
She said that one occasion within tive
I or three years by direction of her hus
band she asked Mr.. Farnum to bring hel
Jug of whisSey while he was delivering
groceries as she wished to have some ii

4 money before he obtained the whf'key
\ and hrouohf the nQuor in q pasteboart
box. She said no improper use ever wa
made of the liquor 5and that Mr.. Farmnl
did the errand purely as an accommoda
ton. adding: That. is the way v
neighbors do out in the country"
