WHEN Vance finished speaking.
w there was a long silence.
Markham, impressed by the
others earnestness. sat in . brown

which he had chung from the mo-
ment of the Identification OF the
flnger-prints, had. 1t must be ad-
mitted. not entirely satisfied him.
although he had been able to sug-
gest no alternative.
Now Vance had categoricaliy
repudiated this theory and at the
same time had advanced another
which, despite its Indebtedness.
had nevertheless taken into &C
count all the physical points OF
the case: and Markham. at hrst
antagonistic. had found himself,
almost against his will. becoming
moro and more sympathetic to
this new point Of view.

MAN CHARGED WITH
LIQUOR MANUFACTURE
ACCUSES DRY OFFICER
Charles Moore Pleads Guilty To
Illegal Manufacturing Charge
In Kent Court.
BOUGHT STILL HE SAYS
When Questioned By Lawyer He
Claimed Officer Jett Sold Him
Still And Liquor.

Charles Moore, who had changed
his plea of not guilty to one of gull.
ty of illegal manufacturing of liquor
while making a statement before
the Kent County Court Friday after
noon said he purchased his first still
from Norman E. Jet, a Federal Pro-
hibitiOn Agent and also stated he
| had bought liquor from Jet. Judge
Rodney who was on the bench ruled
that Mr.. Jett was not ON trial and
refused to allow Moore to go on with
charges against the federal agent.
The court refused the application
of Arley B. Magee, attorney for
Moore to parole him and sentenced
the prisoner to six months impris-
Onment in the New Castle County
Workhouse and to pay fine of $50.
The statement of Moore caused con-
siderable of a sensation especially
as the court room was crowded, it
having been rumOred that there
would be some sensational develop
ments when MOore's case was call
ed.
When first arraigned several days
previous Moore pleaded not guilty,
but when he came into court with
his attorney Friday this plea was
changed to one of guilty. Moore's
place was raided by Federal agents
on February Is, this year, when, it
is alleged, a 35-gallOn capacity still
was found in operation and also a
large quantity of the finished pro-
duct. Deputy Attorney General Earl
d. Wiley explained to the court the
States case against Moore.
In putting Moore on the stand Mr..
Magee stated he desired the defend
ant to tell his entire story, so that
the public might know just what
have been in Kent county
along certain lines.
The first question asked Moore by
Mr.. Magee was, "have you ever
or made liquor?"
Answer have made liquor"
QuestiOn-"Where did you pur-
chase your first still?"
Answer-"L purchased my first |
still from Norman e. Jett, Federal |
Prohibition agent. He told me he |
got the still from raid made at |
Frederick. gave him $12 for the
still"
Question: Have you that still
l0w?'''
Answer--No, 1 snapped it for a
log"
Question: ask you whether you
ever bought any liquor from Norman
3. Jett?"
Answer-''Yes, sir"
Question-"Did you ever buy any
liquor from Jett at Mifflins woods
vest of DOver?"
At this point, Judge Rodney inter-
POSED, and told Mr.. Magee the court
vas not trying the Federal agent,
hat there was no case against him.
Mr.. Magee then said as an Amer
can citizen he wanted to give to the
at large all the evidence

KENT co. JURY FREES
ON DRUNKEN CHARGE
Man. Fined As Drunken Driver Has
Fine RENTED BY Jury

Walter Scott, Reihm, a farmer
near Townsend, was acquitted in
Kent County Court. last, Friday NOR
ming on. charge of having operated
his automobile while under the in
fiuence of. intoxicating liquor. He
had been arrested several weeks ago
by state highway police who
brought the charge when they said
he failed to measure up to the test
given suspected drunken drivers,
such as placing his hands out
straight and bending over without
shaking.
Reihm, was in. Wilmington about
midnight. A girl from Dover was
with him and before he started home
with her he admitted he took two
teaspoons full of apple jack mixed
with ginger ale. When the police ar
rested him later they failed to. have
him examined by a physician. He
was detained in Dover Jail for sew
eral hours. When arraigned before
w. D. Burton he admit
ted taking the liquor, whereupon he
was fined $100 and his drivers IL
cense revoked. He appealed the case
and it went to the jury. Sheriff Fra
zier testified in court that he did not
see anything wrong with Reihm or
smell liquor on him when he was
brought to Dover jail.
DR.. Harry Wilson, resident sur
geon at Kent General Hospital; DR..
Joseph S. Mcdaniel, chief Of the
medical staff at the same hospital;
DR.. w. T. Chapman, of Harrington;
DR.. ]. S. Cobb, of Clayton, and DR.. e.
S. Anderson, of Dover, all testified in
court that one drink, taken by a man
in Wilmington at midnight, would
not make him intoxicated when he
got to Dover three hours later, even
if it were apple jack he had swal-
lowed.
The jury was out less than ten
when it returned with
verdict of not guilty which refunds
fine and restores his license.
