BOOZE CHARGE DISMISSED
[n the ease of the United
States vs. William Henry on a
charge of selling intoxicating
liquors, which was heard before
Commissioner Harwood Friday
afternoon, the evidence against
the defendant was found to be
insufficient and the charge was
dismissed.
Uill Henry was arrested
Tuesday on an information laid
by L. S. Walker that he had sold
“moonshine” on January 15 last
to him (Mr. Walker). At the
hearing Lou Walker testified
that on the date mentioned he
accompanied by John Gilbertson
had driven to Mr. Henry’s ranch
to purchase some hay and while
there had purchased two bottles
of booze from the defendant.
John Gilbertson upon taking the
stand swore under oath that on
the day in question neither he

ranch of William Henry. In view
of this conflicting testimony Com
missioner Harwood was forced
to dismiss the case
Joe Murray handled the case
for the defendant.
