Rescript Handed
Down. York Co. Case

Respondents exceptions are over
ruled and judgment is ordered for the
State in the York county case, State
Of Maine VS.. Jack Ennis by a per
curtain rescript handed down We'd
nesday by the Maine law court. The
rescript reads as follows:
The respondent was tried upon the
charge Of selling intoxicating liquor
and jury verdict of guilty was re-
turned against him. At the con-
clusion of the charge to the jury the
respondent presented three requested
instructions as follows:
First. That the respondent vas
acting as agent of the officer in pro-
curing the liquor in question and Is
not guilty as charged as a matter OF
law.
Second. That II the Jury find as a
matter OF fact that the officer gave
the respondent the money to pur-
chase the liquor and that the res
pondent afterwards purchased the
same with that money. as matter
Of law the respondent was acting
as the agent of the officer or de-
tective and is not guilty as charged.
Third. The proving that the res
pondent was using this agency as
"cover" is on the State.
The transcript of the testimony
was made a partsof the bill Of ex-
ceptions. The charge of the pre-
siding justice is not brought before
us and, as no exceptions thereto are
noted. we must assume that it con-
of the principles of law governing
the case, including full and correct
instructions regarding the law of
agency in matters like the case at
bar.
With reference to the first request
ed instruction the presiding Justice
said, Il cannot give you that in
struction as a matter of law. 1t is a
question OF fact, as I have already
stated to you, whether he was acting
as the agent Of the officer, in good
faith, or whether the supposed agency
is a mere cover" The refusal to give
the requested instruction. and the
reason for the refusal, are correct
and in complete harmony with the
legal principles governing the trial
of criminal cases, whereby the de-
termination of issues of fact is left
to the jury.
With reference to the second re-
quested instruction the presiding
Justice said. Il cannot give you that
nf 10 iS nunSfinn
Of fact. The mere giving of money
and the mere payment for liquor in
advance is not decisive of the ques-
ton of agency"
Here also the refusal to give the
requested instruction and the reason
for the refusal, are correct, especially
so when issues of fact are TO be
decided by consideration of all the
evidence in the case and not alone
by a single piece of evidence which
may or may not lie supported by
other evidence.
With reference to the third re-
quested instruction the presiding
Justice said. Il give you that. l rave
given you that as a part of the gen.
eral instruction that the burden of
proof is upon the State to satisfy
YOU of its contention that there was
a sale of liquor"
( No error appearing in the rulings,
must he
! Exceptions overruled.

circulation or that strain the ner-
vous system by inducing poor car
riage. you can readily gain better
vitality and health. Change to
Cantilever Shoes
Cantlever Shoes do not bind the
muscles. check circulation or press
on the nerves They give your feet
absolute freedom to function nat
uraliy. The Cantilever arch is made
flexible. in harmony with your foot
arch which nature made flexible.
Thus, the muscles can exercise
properly in walking; normal cir
culation is stimulated; the nerves
which run from your feet through
your body are comforted and en-
ergized
