ASKS IMMEDIATE HEARING.

TO save time, the prohibit on officers
decided to ask for an Immediate pro
lim'nary hearing Of the case and uf,er
some difficulty, succeeded u carrying
the barrel into the courtroom. With
its incrimGnating contents---its fatcd
siT'v gallons-the barrel WAS placed
buug up, not far from Il window in
the roar OF the courtroom. Many a
naa:erby eyed it thirstily, cnv;ously.
Presently the hearing began IN the
presence OF a largo and interested
crowd. A close observer might have
noticed that number Of men stood
throughout the proceeding III close
array between The presiding Justice
and the barrel; but officers. witnesses
and court were so intent OH the case
chat they paid no attention to the
corpus deficit.
When the hearing was concluded
tho crowd dispersed and the prohibit
ton agents prepared to roll exhibit
A. 10 n strong ROOM The first move
aroused tho,r suspicion. The barrel
was strangely and omnously light. IN
Spcction showed that instead of sixty
gallons, 1t contained OH v fifteen. In
spcction likewise showed that every
citizen OF 1,awrcncevillc who had an
appetite for liquor appeared in an hi.
!alious mood. Some citizens in fact
were stretched on the court green as
though 1t we're midsummer.
