ANDERSON FOUND GUILTY OF i
VIOLATING PROHIBITION LAW
Aiter being out but abqut three
i h^urs, a portion of which! time was
consumc r by th.e jury; for dinner,
the bailiff was advised that they
had reached a decision, and upon
the twelve men being brought in
'■o 'ho court before; itudge Rasmu
sou, 'hey made their decision
known, said verdict being that
they had found J. F. Anderson, pro
orietor of the PanjUteon guilty of
selling intoxicating liquor to Geo.
.Naud on *he ndeht pf the 18th. of
November.
The jury was then excused from
further duty in the case, and
court tools a recess until Monday
morning at 10 o'clock a. m.
Saturday Afternoon Session
After the Jury ih&d beent sworn
in, Dis'rict Attorney] Smiser called
'he government's witness, George
Naud, a.nd he testified, in a few
words of having gone into Ander
son's place a' 10 o'clock oaj uie
night of November 18, in company
wit- a man. Jjv the name of ASUers
and »ha< they had both called for
a .rl"ss of sherry wine, and. that
Anderson had seared/ them withi it
an* tne price, 25 cenJs had been
charged for the two d'rlnks. The
two men then had another drink of
tiie same kind, for which they al
so oald 25 cents, and thou left the
place.
Steve Rag an, attorney for the
defense then tried to break down
Xaud's testimony, but he did not
cause the witness to change his
statement materially.
J F. Anderson, the defendant in
M'e case was then; called to the
witness chair, and he testified that
Xaud had come intq his glace of
business and asked for a drink- He
did not mention, whit kind of a
drinls he wanted. He gave him
"grape." juice. He did not know
for sure that it was grape Juice
as he had. not tasted the contents'
of the hottle from WJUchj
hBi1 served Naud and Ms'
companion. He did not know
to the contrary that the b-ottle did
not contain, grape juice. He also
a'ated that he had been engaged
in the liquor business since he was
17 yea i <5 of age, audi that he con
sidered himself a goiod1 judge of all '
kinds of liquors.
Outside of some immaterial ques
tions tha* were put to Mr. Ander
son, this is substantially his state- j
men* on tlhQ stand.
District Attorney Smiser then
addressed the jury, summing u(p the)
case to them in an aible manner,
after which Attorney Ragan put
his side of the case to the jury,
bu* made a poor impression in his
denunciation of the gorvernme'nt'a
iv it 11 ess, by casting! rel'lections on
t'-e young man's integrity, and) be
I smirching !him for having under
taken to get evidence in, the cases, |
claiming that it was the act of a
| soy, an4 Uis actions jvere ia a
' manner a breach of confidence.
Judge Smiser them closed liis
| case with. Che jury by talking to
then: in a common sense manner,
and asked them to iveigh, the testi
mony of the two men carefully.
United States Commissioner Ras
muson then, read his instructions to
the jury, and they yere then es
cor'ed to the jury room.
It was half past five o'clock
wbfn the case was giv^n to the
jury and when the dinner hour ar
rived, they were taken to the
Pack Train, restaurant for their
evening meal. Shortly after their
rc'urn to tlhe room they announc
ed that they had reached a decision,
and filed into the court, where
William Hargraves, who toad, freen
selected foreman of the jury, read
the verdict of "guilty."
Judt°9 Rasnruson, stated that he
would pronounce sentence later.
