ED WEATHERSBY’S OLD STAND
Phone No. 6 519 N. Main
The District -Court in the Trial of
Criminal cases, most of which are old
left over cases from former terms of
the court, the last grand jury having
returned only four bills of indictment
The first case called was the
State vs. Calvin Keeton in which he
was charged with three sales of
liquor. The case was postponed un-
til February 8th, for the reason that
the alleged purchaser of the liquor
was sick in bed.
Hubert Sudderth was tried for
forging a check and passing it to
Sid Smith’s store for $2.50. The de-
fendant was represented toy !S. F.
Leslie and was given a two years
suspended sentence.
Roscoe Dickerson and son Roseman
both connected with the same transac-
tion were tried separately for thie
possession of and transporting liquor.
Defendants were represented by
Francis Dale, the testimony showed by
the arresting officers that they came
upon the two defendants in the road
with a quart of liquor each. The de-
fendants testified that they had just
bought the liquor from another negro
and had not transported it and did
not have it for sale, they tooth showed
good reputations as negro farmers,
they had never been arrested for any
offense before. The case was com-
promised by the county attorney not
contesting their application for sus-
pended sentence which was granted
in both cases.
Pete Richardson charged with
possession of liquor was the next
case tried, A. S. Broadfoot represent-
ny the State and R. T. Lipscomb the
defendant. The state proved by
•Jack Leonard, the arresting officer,
that he dug up a gallon and a half of
whiskey about ten steps from the de-
fendant’s house and found where other
fruit jars had been dug op out of the
ground but the Defendant proved
that he had been gone from home all
>f that day he and his family and that
a negro was in some way mixed up
with the liquor, that he had gone out
'here with white men during the day
to get the liquor. The defendant
argues the alibi and reasonable
douibt and was acquitted. He is the
•same Pete Richardson who was con-
victed for burglary about a year ago
:n this court.
Booker Turntine, who was the negro
eferred to in the Pete Richardson
rial, was charged with the sale of
iquor on the same day and pleaded
hat he only acted as a friend to the
myier and that some white men sent
him down to get the whiskey for them
;ut that he wasn’t really selling it
"nd put it toy the jury and was ac-
quitted.
The case against W. H. Allen for
arrying a mortgaged automobile
ufc of the County was next called
or trial. The indictment alleged
' hat the defendant had mortgaged the
ar to John Fitzgerald and Hiqnry
Youree tout when the note was intro-
luced it showed to be payable to
Fitzgerald-Younee Motor Company,
it was offered for evidence on the
round that John Fitzgerald and
Henry Youree owned the Fitzgerald
Motor Company and the note in
luestion but the laws of evidence
would not permit its introduction.
The state closed its case and the court
■nstructed the jury to find the de-
fendant not guilty.
The defendant Charlie Ferris
charged with sale of liquor got a
oostponement of his case until Fri-
day on the account of sickness in his
family.
Raymond Lorance charged with
'ransporting liquor the case hap-
pened about a year ago. The de-
fendant was represented by R. T.
Lipscomb the State by County At-
torney A. S. B'roadfoot, which de-
veloped a hotly contested cg.se, the
State introduced as witness Jack
Leonard and Charlie Moore who were
deputy sheriffs at the time of the
arrest. They testified that they
chased down the defendant 19 years
of age and his father on the high-
way between Honey Grove and Dodd
City and captured them with six
gallons of liquor that they were
bringing in from Oklahoma, the de-
fendant took the witness stand and
testified that he was bringing the
liquor for his own use and care of his
family, father, mother and wife and
did not deny he sold it but admitted
on cross examination by the county at-
torney that he followed the occupation
last year of selling liquor because he
couldn’t make a living at any thing
else. The county attorney contest-
ed his application for suspended
sentence hut the defendant begged
the jury for another chance promising
not to violate the law anymore, ex-
hibiting a young wife and baby on
the witness stand after an all day
fight. He was convicted and given
three years suspended sentence.
On Wednesday morning Horace
Doyle was called for trial charged
with burglary represented by R. T.
Linscomb as attorney. He plead
guilty the state introduced the in
jured party, R. R. Richardson living
near Dial who testified that his
house had1 been robbed of a lot of
furniture and bed clothing and that
he recovered his property from a
house occupied by the defendant and
his brother and his (wife. The jury
after a short deliberation returned a
verdict of guilty with a punishment
of two years in the penitentiary.
Willie Forkum was next tried rep-
resented by Bob Eubands an attorney
of Paris. Defendant pleaded guilty
to a sale of liquor in December 1930
the case had been carried on the
docket for more than a year with the
state unable to get it up for trial,
several of the witnesses for the state
were absent at this time, the state
having one witness that would testify
that he saw the alleged sale with the
man which was alleged to have bought
the whiskey ready to testify that he
did not buy it, the attorneys agreed
before going into the trial that if the
defendant would plead guilty that a
suspended sentence would be recom-
mended as a matter of compromise.
The defendant was a young married
man 19 years of age and never had
been into any other trouble and the
county attorney stated to the jury
that he ha dmade special effort and
inquiry and that it was his belief that
the defendant had not been selling
whiskey during the past year but was
living on the farm north of Honey
Grove making an honest living. The
jury gave him a one year suspended
sentence. Several well known citizens
of Honey Grove took the stand for
the defendant to help procure a sus-
pended sentence.
A year ago there were more than
150 cases on the docket of this court
the county attorney has thrashed
them out along with about two hun-
dred more indictments that have been
returned since that time. All the old
cases will be cleaned up and put off
the docket at this term there remain-
ing now on the docket about fifteen
cases with the largest number of
convictions during the past year that
was ever had in the District Court.
During the last term of Court there
were fifty trials and forty-seven
convictions and as soon as the county
attorney finds that he cannot pro-
cure sufficient evidence to convict a
case he gets it off the docket to save
the expense of useless trials. As a re-
sult of this action at the end of this
court will mean a complete cleanup
oif all cases on the docket for the
first time in five years that this has
been the condition.

STOP BEGGING
The man arrested Monday by the
motorcycle officer, Graysom Roach,
for house-to-house begging was tdlcen
to the city limits Tuesday and told to
“go and stay gone.” He prom'sed
that he would never set foot in Paris
again. This is the same man who
victimized a number of citizens Sat-
urday, and to whom the King’s
Daughters supervisor had given
orders for gas and groceries. After
being driven a few miles out in the
country by a kind hearted citizen
Saturday, the man broke and ran.—
Paris News. Many cities request
that the police be notified of house to
house beggars, and such is the
case in Bonham. Transients should
be a police problem, not a menace to
housekeepers.

FRETFUL,
RESTLESS?
Look to this cause
When your baby fusses, tosses and
seems unable to sleep rcstfully, look
for one common cause, doctors say.
Constipation. To get rid quickly of
the accumulated wastes which cause
restlessness and discomfort, give a
cleansing dose of Castoria. Castoria,
you know, is made specially for
children’s delicate needs. It is a pure
vegetable preparation; contains no
harsh drugs, no narcotics. It is so
mild and gentle you can give it to a
young infant to relieve colic. Yet it is
as effective for older children. Cas-
toria’s regulative help will bring re-
laxed comfort and restful sleep to
your baby. Keep a bottle on hand.
Genuine Castoria always has the
