Interesting Liquor Case
Jim Moore, a citizen of Jackson
county, Alabama, while taking
air on Sand mountain,
his walk into Dade county, and
meeting a fellow traveler, they
Bunvon like, continued their walk
over hill and dale until they
rived at a certain point in a
tiful cove, far secluded from
haunts of man. Their rapture
beholding was rudely
when they ran upon a “still,” and,
- be • !i , wab , .,. dln . .
ceeded 7, to ‘ demolish ' f, the
wherein the “vile stuff” was
ing cone, ct'd. While they were
found by the officers of the
and conducted to the county jail.
Lon Price, the companion
Jim Moore on his mountain walk,
complained of an affection of
heart and asked permission to stop
at a nearby house to rest. Tak¬
ing advantage of a relax of
gance on the part of the officers
'nake his get-away, but was
recaptured and placed in the
county jai}. After reciting
story to the trial jury they were
found guilty of the charge of
,n S liquor and received a

day night in the county jail and
when arraigned before Judge
Tarver Monday, plead guilty ~" ,x " to
the charge of being drunk on the
public highway ©f the State and
a fine of $75 and costs with a
four months chain gang sentence,
the sentence being suspended for
good behavior.
Found Pig In Auto—“The head
lights blinded me, but we drove
our car along side their car; I
jumped upon the running board
when the car we were pursuing
skidded into a ditch testified Ex-
Sheriff Holmes in the case of a
Mrs. White on trial for transport¬
ing whisky. “How many people
were in the car?” asked the So¬
licitor General, “One man and two
women, when the car skidded into
the ditch the man jumped out, ran
down the road, and one of the
women in the car found a pig in
a sack. I then searched the vi¬
cinity of the car and found sev¬
eral cans containing whisky.”
Mrs. White was acquitted of the
charge of transporting lipuor.
She was represented by McClure
and Hale. “Bear ye one anothers
burdens and thus fullfill the law,”
was the probable thoughts of E.
L. Henderson, a Thomas Jeffer¬
son looking man of Walker coun¬
ty, when asked, as he testified
when arraigned in court on the
charge of possesing lipuor, a
stranger in the terminal station
in Chattanooga gave him a swig
from a quart fruit jar, then re-
puested Mr. Henderson to take his
(the stranger’s) rain coat into the
train then soon leaving over the ,
A. G. S. road to Birmingham, as j
he had two grips to carry, and
promised soon to join him the de-
f en dant at the train. Wishing to
oblige his friend, Mr. Henderson
took the slicker, which probably
contained the quart fruit jar, and
ma( j e his way to the train. The
oscillations of the train plus the
digestion of the booze; caused the j
defendant to talk in a tone more
than audible- and break into a
jolly song, while walking about
the car engaged in conversation
with the ocupants of the smoker,
he observed to the News corre-
spondent that “It was hot as H--1.’
The correspondent’s rejoinder is
lost to history. Sheriff Newman
was a passenger aboard this train
and, upon reaching Trenton, in¬
duced Mr. Henderson to stop over
and sample the culinery accommo¬
dations of the county jail. “All’s
well that ends well,” but upon
reaching the corner of Sulphur
Spring street and Bank avenue,
Brother Henderson, imitating Ev¬
erett True, esayed a side wallop
at Sheriff Newman, and then,
sprinted down the street, closely
pursued by Deputy Robinson, but
was overtaken at the corner of
j Sulphur Spring sreet and Jump-
ing Off avenue, and after quite
a scuffle was hand cuffed and
conducted to the jail. He was
tried on a charge of possessing
whisky, convicted and given a fine
of $25 and costs. He was repre¬
sented by Col. “Red” Townsend.
Judge, “I thought I would go
home to see my folks,” said Claude
Hunt, when arraigned on a charge
of sawing bars in the county jail,
in an attempt at a jail delivery
on part of some of the prisoners.
Hunt was fined $50 and costs
with a probationary sentence of ,
twelve months. He was represent¬
ed by “Red” Townsend.
