Jury Reverses
Judge's Verdict
In Bootleg Case
A superior court Jur> reversed
* decision by county recorder'!
court judge Lambert Morris Mon
day and freed Alfred "Alf" Ander
son, Beaufort. Anderson, who has
a string of convictions running
back to 1936, was charged with
selling non-taxpaid whiskey.
Anderson was under a suspend
ed sentence for transporting non
taxpaid whiskey when his case
came up in recorder's court in
December. Judge Morris found
him guilty of selling the "white
lightning'' and invoked the aus
pended jail sentence. Anderson ap
pealed the verdict to superior
court.
County ABC officer M. M. Ays
cue and Beola Peterson testified
for the state in both trial*. In
lower court Anderson testified in
his own behalf. In Monday's trial,
however, he had four witnesses in
his defense.
The state contended that Ander
son had sold the Peterson woman
some "bootleg" before she was
picked up by officers and charged
with being drunk on the streets.
Anderson's lawyer, Claud Wheat
ly, pin pointed the time when the
woman would have had to buy the
whiskey, then called on his four
witnesses. One testified that she
was at the Anderson house at that
time and only Anderson's wife and
children were home.
The other witnesses, all men,
testified that they had been with
Anderson during the stated times
and there was "no way in the
world" that he could have gone
home and sold the whiskey at the
time set by Mr. Wheatly.
Members of the jury that freed
Anderson were Richard M. Braith
waite, Hugh Styron, Clay Chad
wick, Clifford Merrill Jr., M. E.
Bridgman. William Thomas Mc
Kay, Cecil Phelps, L. J. Corbett,
D. B. Willis, Walter C. Williams
and Robert Dcland Taylor.
