trial yesterday afternoon and ap
peared greatly Interested lo the de

aioertaln- the Impressions made up
on them, a tMpfsentatlve of the
Dally Newe this morning called up
on a number Of these ladles on the
teelphone and naked what they
thought or the tr!%l. The following
statement? ware given out:
Mtaa li T. Rodman.
"The evidence wss moat clearly a -
gainst the defendant and the action
of the Jury fas absurd. Jn my
opinion a cbflrt could have seen
from the evidence that there waa no
question or doubt as to whether the
man was guilty or net. The ladles
were preeeot at the trial In order
to show that the better class of
prople In Wsshlngton opposed the,
sale of liquor and desired to lend
their Influence In abollshfVf the
Illegal practice." %
Mrs. H. W.,Carte*.
"I was greatly surprised at the
action of the Jury. **?-felt , after [
hearing the evidence that Mr. 8wwn
ner wss guilty, without a doubt, and !
that the best thing he could have
done would have been to confrsa
his guilt, say that he was sorry for
what he had done and. offer to live
an upright life. I am sure that the
court wtQltf have been clement In
Its verdict. I feel that every prop
erty owner should do the same as
Miss Rodman has done?notify all
tlielr tenants who are accused cf Il
legal liquor transactions that they
must vacate their stores. This, It
seema to me, would put an end to
the blind tiger question to a largo
degree.'' f
MIh? Brownie Gfleft.
"I don't believe that there was
sufficient evidence that the roan
possessed tha liquor In qusstion.
However. It was proven that he was
In Norfolk and Issued a check, the
amount of which Just covered the
