for selling liquor, and by agiaomsnt
all vara lat off with finaa and soa

for S. A. Hernia On his testimony tha
State prone en tad Han mi and in tha
firat trial tha Jury failed to agree,
thua making it a miatria1 La tar tha
ease rama on for a Hearing and tha
State waa able to produce other wit
naaaea who testified that they, tee,
had bought liquor from Hennia.
Tha eaaa attiactad ranch attention
and waa tha talk of tha town for
weeks. J. H. Folger appeared alone
for Hennia and the Mate waa repre
sented by the eoNettor for tha Bacord
en court, E. M. Lbirflle, who was as
eietad by Carter A Carter and B. t».
Krone. In all tha eaaa nfilwd a boat
•even days to hear it, and large nam
of the coart.
The prominence of Mr. Hennia mmdm
his eaaa of much mora than ordinary
interest. He cats credit for being
worth as much as 97S.0M and far
rears has been one of the leading
business men of this town, doing trai
nees as m wholesale dealer in prodare
under the firm name of 8. A. Hennia
& Company. The State undertook to
•how that Hennia has sold liquor in
s large way, and the impression waa
rreated in the minds of many that ha
had In this way made much of his
money. His answer to all this is that
the great volume of businesa he has
done should have made him his money
without resorting to any other means.
Hennia haa contended all along, and
went on the > land in his own defense,
that he ia the victim of cirrumstancea
and a frame-up. He says that he haa
never sold liquor and ia not guilty of
any of the things he is rharged with.
He has sold his 110,000 home and rent
al his produce house to Banner and
I,ovill to he used as a storage house
for tobacco for two years, and will
close out all hia interest here and
move away.
in aamuon 10 me aoove prosecution
hp w*» some weekii airo indicted in th«
Federal court charged with having
or hand more liquor than is allowed
outside of a bonded wart-house and
' ther count*. It i* the talk here that
'he District Attorney has said that
he would not proaecute the rase in the
Federal court if the local court dis
posed of It in a reasonable manner,
but that if it was hushed up her* he
would carry the caae through the Fad
eral Court. The impression hare
among the law-abiding people seam*
to be that the sentence ia severe
enough to Mtiafy the ends of justice
and that no further prosecution should
be made. Aa we get it from hearing
the expressions of prominent citizens
on the atreeta the verdict of the local
court meet* the approval of most peo
ple. It is estimated that the caae wffl
coaf Mr. Hennis aa much as 12,000 In
cash to say nothing of having to move
his place of residence.
One interesting fact that came to
light from the above prosecution wma
the case that developed against a
jitney driver, one Jim Burrus. Part of
I.tn Taylor's testimony was that Han
nla sent liquor to his, Taylor's home
by Burrus for him to sail. The Stats
waa able to find witnesses who were
present at the time Burma carried
liquor In hia automobile to Taylor's
home. Now Burrus la indicted In the
Federal court for transporting liq«or.
and he mast answer to the high court
on this charge.
