The Sequel to the Big Game of "Sk!n" that was Played Several -Sabbaths Pash Tom Quinn, the King of the Blind Tiger artists, will have to serve nine months on the roads of Mecklenburg county for his numerous violations of the prohibition laws. Quinn was given a hearing in the Superior Court this morning and after the examination of al! the witnesses his counsel, Mr. J. D. McCall, an nounced to the court that his client would not resist a verdict. s As to the punishment to be inflicted on Quinn, both Solicitor Clarkson and Mr. Cameron Morrison, who represents the Law and Order League, insisted that the negro be given the maximum punishment, which is two years. Solicitor Clarkson informed the court that Quinn had, on two previous occasions, been before the court, charged with the illegal selling of whiskey. The first time he was allowed to go on the payment of the costs in the case and the second time he was fined $75. Mr. Clarkson added that the negro had peristently violated the law ami had indicated by his actions that lie did not appreciate the mercy shown him in previous convictions on a simi lar charge; that since the August term of Mecklenburg Superior Court, Quinn hart been indicted in 27 cases for sell ing liquor and he hoped the court would give him the full punishment, under the statute. Mr. Cameron Morrison read the statute in the court's hearing and said he thought Quinn should be punished, and that severely. " Mr. J. D. McCall, in defense of his client, said that Quinn was a hard working negro and he hoped that the court would not visit uponvJiini the ex treme penalty of the law. Judge Bryan said that he did not think Quinn deserved the extreme pen alty; that he would sentence him to nine months on the county roads and he hoped this would be a lesson to him.

McCall and Mr. Plummer Stewart represented the ne gro. The first witness introduced was John Mcllwaine who was one of the participants in the game. The negro 'peached ' on the crowd and, therefore, was not prosecuted. Mcllwaine, under the cross examination of Mr. Stew art admitted that he had twice before been caught playing cards and on one occasion had told a falsehood concern ing a game in which he was one of the star players. He also said that the police told him that if he would give all the names of the players in the game, he would escape prosecution. Will Zeigler, a white man, who was also in the game, was the next witness. Zeigler contended that Officers House, Johnston and Pitts, had told him that he might as well tell of the gambling as the facts were known to the police. Zeigler also stated that he was given to understand that he would not be prosecuted. After the evidence was all in, the case was given to the jury and in about 15 or 20 minutes the ju ry returned and said they found the prisoner not guilty. The next case taken up'was that of Caroline Rosebrough, who. is charged with selling whiskey out. at Groveton.
