Preliminary hearing in the case
# Earl Crandall, "a. of FL Centre,
charged with the sale of intoxieat
.ng liquor was begun in Judge l.
Mayfield s court yesterday after
noon but was continued until Tues
day after some testimony had been
taken. Crandall was remanded to
the county Jail until that time in
default of 500 cash bail.
Deputy Sheriffs Sharp and Wright
took the stand for the people in the
case. They testified that an 'un-
5ercover man had been given a
five dollar bill, the serial number
If which had been noted by the
deputies. The agent is alleged to
have purchased some intoxicating
liquor from Crandall and reported
to the deputies. Crandall is said
to have been placed under arrest
and and the bill alleged to have
been used by the agent found in
his possession.

have the undercover man pres
ent in court and the Judge ruled
that the ease of the people was in
complete without him. Edward H,
Law, deputy district attorney, then
moved that the ease be continued
until Tuesday at which time it was
intimated the undercover' man
would be present to testify.
