Curtis which had been continued for three weeks, was thrown out because of a faulty warrant. Mr. Curtis, elderly WPA laborer, together with Lee Turnage his step son, and Kermit Lane, was arrested one Sunday night some weeks ago, following a search of his house where a quantity of bootleg liquor was found, half of which Curtis claimed, was charged with possessing liquor for the purpose of sale, with manu facturing and transporting. Kermit Lane, who was tried three weeks ago, was given a suspended sentence upon conviction of manu facturing liquor, of possession and transporting, after the still which Lee Turnage led officers to in the woods, and which Turnage testified was owned and operated by Lane was destroyed. When the case came up for trial against Curtis on Tuesday, the de fendant, being represented by- C. R Holmes, it developed that the search warrant, which the officers used when search was made for the liquor was imDroperlv drawn. It was the evi dence of the liquor in the house which was the basis for the illegal possession charge, the State indicat ing that there was no evidence to support the charge of manufacture or transporting. "I am throwing out this case against you, Mr. Curtis", said Judge Walter H. Oakey, Jr., but I want you to understand that the Court realizes that Lee Turnage is not responsible but believes that you knew what Lee was doing when he went out with Kermit Lane." Mr. Curtis at this point protested that he did not know, ' that he thought they were fishing, I "Well," said Judge Oakey, I believe j you knew. The law just slipped up ' when it got the warrant for you and didn't get the right warrant, and on that technicality you got out, but you came pretty close to trouble and I advise you to stay clear of anybody - who is dealing in liquor in the fut i ure." I Judge Oakey also stated that the possession of liquor on which the tax has not been paid is now illegal, no matter where the liquor comes from. I Lee Turnage was given a year on I the roads, the sentence being sus pended upon good behavior for one i year, when convicted of the charge , of manufacturing liquor. Turnage admitted that he kept the fires and carried the water for Kermit Lane i in the operation of his still, for I which services Lane promised to pay him $2J0 per week. Miles Henry Evans pleaded guilty to the charge of reckless driving, the case being dismissed upon payment j of the costs. Cleese Felton, colored, was found guilty of assault and taxed with the court costs. George Elliott, colored, convicted of the charge of assault, was given 30 days on the roads, and a former suspended sentence of 0 days was ordered into effect, the sentences to run concurrently.
