Crow began serving his sixty-day
Jail sentence to which was added a
fine of $500 for selling moonshine
liquor. Crow was placed under ar
rest some time ago by Sheriff M
Peale Collier and was tried before
County Judge George Batterton,
from whose judgment he filed an
appeal and furnished the required
bond. Other cases against Crow
were filed away conditioned on his
future good behavior.
The time of the Court Wednesday
was partly taken up in considering
the case of Robert Link, Eighth
street groceryman. BY an appeal
Link was found guilty of having
moonshine liquor in his possession,
and his punishment fixed at thirty
days in Jail, and a fine of $500.
At a former trial in the County
Court he was fined 500 and given
Jail sentence of thirty days.
Link was represented by attorney
Raymond Cornell.
The appeal in the case of Joe
Wills, was dismissed and Wills be-
gan serving his sentence of thirty
days, and 500 fine. An attempt
was made by his attorney, Raymond
Connell to have the case dismissed
on account of Wills health, an aft
daxit being presented showing that
he is suffering from tuberculosis.
Wills was sentenced in the County
Court about six weeks ago on a
charge of selling liquor illegally.
Yesterday in the case of Mrs.
Pearl Shumate Robinson, against 1.
D. Thompson, ST., charged with as
sault with intent to kill, Thompson's
attorneys made a motion to change
the charge from assault with intent
to kill to assault and battery. The
Court granting this, Thompson,
through his attorneys, entered
plea of guilty, and was fined $3.50.
The grand jury made a prelimin-
airy report yesterday afternoon, re-
turning seventeen true bills, COM

After returning q batch of thirty
three indictments the grand jury
adjourned yesterday afternoon. The
