Holding that the fifth count on which
was not and is not proper, attorneys for
Garrett began fight before Judge Z.
d. Oldfield Of Oklahoma county here
this afternoon on a motion to set aside
the verdict of gully and grant new trfai.
The defense alleges that the verdict
was contrary to law and contrary to
evidence, ana in support of this fire.
quent references were made to the at
torney generals bill Under which act
Garrett was tried.
The fifth count of the original charge
against Garrett was flied as an amend
ment, and alleges that the sheriff per-
mitted prisoners their liberties before
the expiration of their terms. In the ev-
dence presented at the tria!, it was
shown that one man was given his free
dom on advice of the county attorney
and county physician, while othG
were made TRUSTEES and given tie free
dom of the prison yards.
Attorneys for Garrett held that. While
the TAILOR was aware of this procedure,
It does not hold that the sheriff was
awnre Of the action, since under the law
he Is required to visit the Jail only once
each month.
History Of Fight

and Assistant Attorney General Elmer

the allegations. He appointed Russell
Brown, local attorney, as assistant.
Charges were filed on January 5
against Garrett, Chief Of Police X. w
(Dick) Hignight, of Ardmore, Mayor
Jack Langston and City Marshal Ian
Bates, both of Healdton. Four count!
were charged against Garrett will
three each against the others. Late
three additional counts were charge'
against Garrett.
Garrett was suspended from offic
on January is and trial was started ol
February l3. He was ousted on Fe
II and appealed on February 20. IA
was the second sheriff Of Carter coun
~ since statehood.
Hignight was acquitted. Langsto1
and Bates resigned and charges agains
them were dropped.
Since being ousted Garrett has es
tGblished private detective and ant

ton OF Gus Gaines, all of his deputie
have started farming. Gaines is now

Strong Defense Before SUI
periOr Court Jury.

Aloyes DeBeck, proprietor of a
soft drink establishment at 54S ".
Sixth St, Mishawaka, tried in su-
perior court on a charge Of unlawful
possession Of liquor, was found not
guilty by a jury Friday morning
which returned a sealed verdict
The case had been appealed from
the city court where DeBeck had
been found guilty fined 500 and
given 30 days in Jail.
The evidence against the defend
ant concerned the finding of a quart
bottle of Sunnybrook whisky on a
two by four in a shed adjacent to
DeBeck's premises. The proprietor
OF the establishment denied that it
was his and the jury chose to ac-
cept his view Of the matter due to
the fact that the bottle was con-
cealed from view.
A second case in which Mrs. Mary
DeBeck, the defendants wife is &C
cused of unlawful possession, is
pending in the upper court.
This is the first liquor case ap-
pealed from a lower court where a
Jury has acquitted in a long period
of time. The jury deliberated seven
hours in the case.
