of Evidence, Judge Says.

visement until today.
The police claimed that they caught
Carlton selling a drink of white mule"

ar that Conway was really the guilty
lie also added that both Conway
Carlton had claimed ownership or
LIQUOR at the time OF the arrest but
that in court Conway claimed the liquor
and that Carlton said his reason for
originally claiming the whisky was that
he did not want to get his friend IN
trouble. The court said there was 10
evidence Of sale.

ords to show that Carlton had been fined
SO and costs for operating blind tiger,
and had paid the fine. He was convicted
