SAY SOYS DELIVER
EXPRESS LIQUOR
Ordinance May Prohibit Mi
nors Handling Whisky
Packages.
When It developed In police court
Wednesday afternoon that the express
company Ih employing minors, some
of them boys In knee trousers, to de
liver whisky. Recorder Broyles declared
he considered this entirely wrong, and
suggested that only trusted men should
be permitted to handle the whisky ship
ments.
Superintendent Smith, of the express
company, was. present In court, nnd
Judge Broyles took up the matter with
him. As a result of the police court
case, It Is expected that an ordinance
will be presented to the city council,
seeking to prohibit minors from deliv
ering whisky.
This matter grew out of the trial
of Willard Hallman, u 17-year-old em
ployee of the express .company, who
was charged with giving whisky to Ce
cil Lacy, a 12-year-old boy, also an
employee, and making him beastly
drunk. The Lacy boy declared Hall
man and himself were on the same
wagon and that the latter got the whis
ky out of an express package he was
to deliver. Hallman denied this story
and asserted that the little Lucy boy
had the bottle of whisky wrapped In his
overcoat when he hoarded the wagon.
Judge Broyles bound Hallman over
to the state courts on the charge of
furnishing liquor to a minor, nnd also
on the charge of stealing the liquor.
Bond wan fixed at $300, which was later
given.
