FACES MooNsHINE CHARGE.
Well known Beard Camp Physician
Held by Federal Officers

Well Known Beard Camp Physician
Held by Federal Officers
While DR.. Charles Sanford, veteran
of the Spanish-American war and a
well known Board Camp resident, was
on trial for his sanity at the court
house Friday afternoon, federal au-
thorities raided his home and report
ed the discovery Of a moonshlne still
and quantity of white mule"
Dr. Sanford was cleared of the ac-
cusation affecting his mental condi-
ton, but he was arrested on charge
of illicit distilling and was returned
to the county jail to await a trip to
Fort Smith, where he will be given a
hearing in the federal court.
The charge that the Board Camp
physicians mind was not sound was
brought by Prosecuting Attorney l..
N. Burnett, after Mrs. Sanford had
related a narrowing story of mis-
treatment. DIR. Sanford secured the
services of Former Judge w. N. Mar
tin and the charge against him was
bitterly contested in the county court.
A legal battle ensued between the two
attorneys over the matter of having
a jury hear the evidence. Judge Fin
ger ruled the case should be heard by
jurymen, even tho this was not the
accustomed practice.
Jurymen finally approved by both
sides included J. H. Mcmillan, r. A.
Tomlinson, j. S. Kelly, A. T. Powell,
Charles Haltom, Leslie Moseley, j. f.
Hood, w. f. Watkins, and II. K. Man
ming. Evidence was offered by nearly
all the local physicians and a number
of neighbors and acquaintance of DIR.
Sanford. Mrs. Sanford wasspermitted
to testify despite the vigorous protests
of Attorney Martin that it was con-
rary to law to permit d wife to take
he stand against a husband.
Evidence brought out was that the
accused had displayed at times an UNI
governable temper, was given to fits
Of passion and had driven his wife
and mother-in-law from home at
night, by threats of destroying the
house with dynamite. The evidence
was of such a contradictory nature
the jury disagreed and Judge Finger
discharged the accused.
While all this was going on Reeve
nue. Agent Tisdale Of Fort Smith, as
sisted by Deputy Sheriff Dug Walker,
made a hurried trip to Board Camp,
and returned with 21s gallons of
moonshine liquor and part of still,
which they reported was found in the
smokehouse at the Sanford home. The
still had not been used for some time,
it is said, but was of kind that could
be operated on an ordinary kitchen
stove.
a Agent Tisdale caused the arrest of
DR.. Sanford and had him confined in
the county Jail to await the coming of
a deputy United States marshal. DIR.
Sanford was also taken before Justice
II. N. Smith and was fined So and
costs on two separate charges of dis
turbing the peace.
