Louis c. Barbot, a widely known
physician of the City Of Charleston,

The specific charge was that he
had administered narcotics illegally
to fourteen drug addicts not in the

On the two counts that he had not
kept a proper record of dispensing
narcotics to patients, the jury ac-
quilted him.
He was not sentenced by Judge
Henry A. M. Smith presiding, as

attorney for DR.. Barbot, will make
an argument for a new trial on Fri
day.
The maximum penalty which can
be given DR.. Barbot on each count
is $4,000 fine or five years i'm
prisonment, but this can be reduced
by the trial judge in his discretion.
The maximum penalty under the
ury's verdict brought against the
physician could be fine of $685.
900 or seventy years imprisonment
The, principal witnesses today were
those for the government, who gave
expert testimony on the administra.
ton of drugs to addicts and DR.
