Case Was Tried Before Recorder Yes
terday. The Court Room Was
Crowded to the Doors.
JURY WAS OUT FOR 18 HOURS
Sentence of Three if
Defendant is Not Out of County
Within 30 Days. No Appeaf Taken
A verdict of "Oullty" was brought
In this morning by the Jury which
*at in the case of State vs. William
Swanner. charged with violating
the Slate liquor law. The Jury gnve
out their decision after having been
out lur over 18 hours.
Considerable deliberation follow
ed the verdict, Recorder Vsughan
inviting the counsels to offer sup
cest I on a as to the verdict.
"I do not- believe." said Mr.
' anghan, "that we should be un
necessarily severe in this case, but
that we should give the defend*"-t
an opportunity to reform. Instead nr
cutting him on the roads or Impos
ing an Impossible fine upon him. I
Is with this in view that I will wel
come any suggestions that either
the State or the defence might have
to offer."
"Your huuor," said Attorney
Ward. "1 believe that the defendant
should be punished with a fine in
stead of a road sentence. And 1 am
free to say that If 1 were on the
Wench, I woyld tax him with S10**
and costs and let him go. Ha be
already lost $218. which he paid fo*
the Usuor; the costs of court w
? mount to about $60 and a $1H
'ine would bring the amount up to
$378."
"I hardly believe that a $100 fin
would be sufficient," stated Mr1
Carter. "A punishment should b*
i imposed which would make It cer
tain that the defendant would not
; be guilty of again violating the law
The court ought to hand down n
I s^ntenco so that Mr. Swanner wll'
t suit."
"I have been talking the matter
over with my client," said Attorn"*
I Nicholson, "and I wish to state I ha1
my client Is not able to pay a fine
of more thau $50 and costs. Thlr
It sppears to me. would he a suffic
iently h'-avy sentence bo Impose up
on him."
After further deliberation, It?*
cortfer Vftuphan handed down th
follQli'iftg J 00 8 i O n '?
"The epiirt Imposes a Jail ser
fence of thrpe months, giving th
defendant 80 days (?j wind up hi
*ff+lr> Ijere and set out of tb
county. At tb? *?4 of that time i
capias will b? Usued, tftst will pre
veat him from returning to th I
county. *1)1 thi*s be given s
chance to go Into another commur
Ity and bafln lift anew."
In other word?, U Is understood j
tb|$t Mr iwgnpsr has 10 dayi li !
whish to get out of th? oounty. H
he I* ftlll g resident of the count?
?t the end of tbot tin?, the isn I
tenoe will bt imposed upon him, o
If he ever returns ni a resident, th' |
sentence will ?till be In effort.
The Jury consisted of the follow
in?; E. L. Arehbell, foreman; J
A. Alllgood, James Alllgood. W P
Howcn, A. C. Soott, C. A. Flynn.
