DEWEY HARVEY APPEALS

States Attorney Dawson is being
commended generally for the fine
work which he did during the recent

term of court, only three resulted in
acquittals as against % convictions
and pleas of guilty. Quite a large
proportion of the cases were for vio-
lation of the local liquor law and con-
victions were obtained in all of these,
the total fines imposed by the Court
after conviction OF the accused
amounting to $4,000.
