Whiskey Case in
Municipal Court
Joe Welborn plead guilty during Friday morning’s session of
municipal court to the charge of having more than a lawful amount of whiskey in
his possession for the purpose of sale. He was fined $100 and the costs by Judge
Kirkman, who said that the law dealt severely with cases of this nature. Judge
Kirkman ordered that the costs be appropriated by the city, while the fine be
donated to the associated charities.
Will Boone, negro, was found guilty of an assault upon his
wife, and was required to pay the costs. His punishment was light on account of
the fact that the judge considered the negro woman worthy of a beating. She was
ordered to leave the city within a week.
Lee Bryant, negro, plead guilty to the larceny of a pair of
pants, and was sentenced to 30 days on the county roads.
Oscar Mitchell, who killed Trout John several weeks ago with
an automobile, was exonerated of all blame in the case in Monday’s court, Judge
Kirkman declaring the accident unavoidable.
