the outbreak at the G18sgo dance. This was attributed to "Potter's cider" and appafently the last Straw, being followed by the seizure and transportaV6h of the contents of the Potter cellar.
 Now what was this evidence which the wonderful jury found insufficient?
 The state police found 129 barrels of cider carrying from , per cent to s per cent of alcohol in the judges cellar. What was that cider doing in a cellar having such reputation, what was it there for unless to be sold for what it was, good hard cider at two dollars a gallon. IS 1t possible Judge Potter secured the country last fall and bought up all the apples he could get at seven ty-five cents a bushel to make cider to sell at twelve cents gallon for vinegar? The state police found also a room in the cellar fitted up with table and
 glasses, measures and tunnels, corks and cobs and containers-every convenience for dispensing cider.
 They also found quite a numerous body Of customers in the yard and drive way, men and boys in automobiles. some having jugs and all awaiting the arrival 1 of Judge Potter who was not at home when the police arrived.
 ] The police asked these gentlemen what they were there for and the invar- l ible answer was Cider and apparently l they were eonfindent of getting it. 1 Did the jury believe these people did not know cider could be bought there
 or did the jury believe Judge Potter was
 giving away cider by the jugful to all corners?
 The last item of evidence was the re-
 cord of Judge Potters trial before the | town court Wherein he was charged with
 keeping place where liquor was re-
 puted to be sold, keeping liquor with in | tent to sell. and an actual sale of liquor. The evidence against him was indisout- able and he was found guilty on all 1 three counts.
 Is is any wonder that the people are aroused by this miscarriage of justice Il men of the highest character looked up ts | and respected as leaders and teachers IT

 averse to the liquor traffic can aftkl a hearing the evidence in this case Sub scribe to such verdict. our system 0

The Griswoid Cider Case

Mir. Editor: We have seen recently i,i your columns several articles comment ing on the amazing verdict of the jury in the celebrated "Grfs#o1d Cider cas-"
 It is indeed an aI1azing thing that ;srs jury composed of six temperance men, three of whom are avoWed pfohibft tf61tets Should unanimously agree that ths clt.s. found in Judge Potter's cellar, was not Kept there for an aliegal purpose and consequently should be promptly restored to the cellar of the judge for future dis tribution.
 Three of the juryhiefi proudly deelaf cd Themselves pf6hibftionists 3f long stand ing, and expressed such abhoffence of the liquor traffic, that Judge Brown dues- toned them closely as t6 tf4fr ability to make just decision in S case which ap- peaied 50 strongly to their synipatiies.
 One of the three expressed d6dbt of his own ability to render d fair verdict, but after taking fine for s1ec5i6n stat ed that whiie he detested and ab5minat- Cd the liquor traffic, still he admired Judge Potter personally, having been
 greatly impressed by a speech made bs the judge in favor af wonans suffrage and under the eircun,st4ncss thought hs could give the cider fair trial
 The effect of the verdict was to Eivt
 the cider clean bill of health. Thi' verdict astopished the defense as riuei
 as it did the prosecution and the public and the jury has ever since been on tr;a before the bar of public opinion. l This trial is still in progress but 1t il i apparent that the final verdict #iil E. "Mene Meme Tekei Ubharsin." The oni. explanation offered By the jury for tFai

IN THE PUBLIC EYE


 Sir Henry Thornton, who is reported to have solved the problem of roller bearings for railroad trains, has been general manager of the Great Eastern RAtlWay in England since 1914. He is descendant of an old English family, wfi6h settled in Virginia about the middle of the seventeenth century Like another great railway expert in Eng land-Sir Enic Geddes-he learned his profession in the United States, where he acquired a great reputation, espec- ially in connection wtEh the eIectrdfca- tton Of the Long Island lines. Sir Hen ry's appointment as general manager of the Great Eastern railway in 1914 was received with a great deal of criticism in England. but the criticism quickly dIsd away, Although he had only held his post for 8 few months when war broke out, his ability had already been reeDgnized, with the result that he was given high army rank and in 1919 made inspector general of transportation.
