BOURBON CIRCUIT COURT

L. T. Leach, VS.. the Commonwealth
being an appeal from the decision OF
the lower court, in which Leach was
found guilty of selling moonshine
whisky, the case was continued on
motion of Oscar T. Hinton, Leach's
attorney, to the November term OF
Court.
Jno. Thomas, colored, who entered
a plea of guilty to burglarizing a
freight car on the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad, was sentenced to one
year in the Frankfort Reformatory
In the case of Isgrigg VS.. Isgrigg,
the amount to be paid by Sweeney
Sgrigg for the support of his two
children was reduced by Judge Ded-
man from $50 per month to $25. The
children were left in the custody of
their grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert o. Turner.
In the trial of the case of Charles
Galloway, colored, charged with hav-
ing a moonshine still in his posses
sion, Judge Dedman quoted a recent
decision of Federal Judge Cochran,
to the effect that if an officer has
good grounds to believe that the law
is being violated, no search warrant
is necessary for him to enter the
building. The statement came out
during an argument between the at
torneys in the case as to the right
of an officer to enter premises with
out search warrent. Galloway
claimed he had sub-rented the house
to two strange men, and that the
apparatus seized by the police be-
longed to them.
In the case of Edward F. Prichard
against Hensel and Gus Margolen,
the jury returned a verdict, signed
by nine members, finding for the
plaintiff in the full amount asked
for. The action was one for recOv-
cry of S1,430.3O, claimed by Prich-
ard as the result of cattle deal last
year. The case brought out a large
number of witnesses for both sides
and occupied the entire time of the
Court Tuesday. The jury was out
about one hour and fifteen minutes
The case had been tried at a previ-
Gus term of the Court when the jury
failed to agree. Mr.. Prichard was
represented by Judge Denis Dundon,
and the defendants by Talbot &
Whitley. It was afterward stated
that the defendants would take the
case to the Court of Appeals, on the
ground that the verdict was eXces-
sive.
In the case of Redmon VS.. BarteE.
the jury decided in favor of the lat
ter. The case grew out of an at
tachment upon the crop of tobacco
grown in Nicholas county by man
named Kissick. The tobacco had
been sold by Mrs. Kissick to neigh
Dor after her husband had been seri-
ously injured and brought to the
Massie Memorial Hospital, in this
city. The plaintiff brought suit for
the purpose of finding out if the sale
was a bona fide one, or one for the
purpose of avoiding the attachment.
The jury decided the sale a bona fide
one, made previous to serving the at
tachment.
The Court overruled a motion forsa
new trial in the case of Mrs. Inez
Burns VS.. the Director-General OF
Railroads, in which case, when tried
Mrs. Burns was given verdict for
$4,000 damages for the death OF
her husband, Bobby Burns, L. & N.
engineer, who was killed while on
duty. 1t was understood yesterday
that the case will be taken to the
Court of Appeals.
Court adjourned Wednesday af-
ternoon until July IL, when Judge
Dedman will return to hear a num-
Der of equity cases. Deputy Sheriff
Gilkey took to the Frankfort Re-
formatory yesterday John Thomas
colored, sentenced for one year, and
also took to the State Reform School
at Greendale William Delaney, white
boy, to remain one year.
