Thorne and the respondents attor-
neys were Benedict F. Maher OF Au-
gusta and William II. Hawes Of
Skowhegan. This case was tried be-
fore drawn jury. three members Of
which were selected. from the audi
ence by Sheriff Meeers, as several
jurymen were excused and one panel
was celebrating the ease OF Arms
worthy and Burton. ,ss..
The State alleged that Sayers sold
to Arthur Trask. an employe Of r. B.
Cole, at the laundry, Z bottle of rose
toilet water, knowing that Trask
wished 1t for drinking purposes. The
respondent admitted the sale of the
toilet water but Sayers said that
Trask came into his shop, which is in
the same block with this laundry. and
said that he was going to shave and
wanted something for his face. Say
ers said he sold the toilet water to
him for $3.50. The defense denied
that it was intoxicating liquor.
The States first witness was Or.
Frank n. Whittier Of Bowdoin college,
WHO had tested the liquor and found
it contained So IL per cent. alcohol
per volume. and Is Fer cent. by
weight. DR.. C. r. Richardson of Som
erset hospital who attended Trask.
who after drinking four swallows OF
the liquor became unconscious and
remained so many hours. stated that
Trask was very ill and that he
thought at the time that the patient
might die. Other witnesses for the
State were Arthur Trask, r. D. Cole,
and Sheriff John A. Nooers.
The respondent was the onlv wit
ness called by the defense and his tes-
timony was followed by the attor-
ney's arguments and the charge to
the jury. Judge Spear said that there
was only one question for the jury
to decide and that was whether the
sale was of intoxicating liquor. Judge
Spear read from the statute defining
intoxicating liquor. After few
minutes the jury returned verdict
of guilty.
Sayers obtained bail from day to
day. His bondsmen were Mrs. Sayers
and Luke Pitts, VINO were bound in
ths sum of $500 each.
