LIQUOR WAS STORKD
“FOR PERSONAL USE“
RICHMOND. Va.—A jury in the
Hustings court, says the Virginian,
has acquitted two Italians charged
with storing and exposing for sale a
large quantity of liquor, after Judge
Richmond had overruled the demur
rer to the evidence and the motion
to quash the indictments against
them. They were arrested Dec. 26,
when officers raided their place and
took more than 140 gallons of ardent
spirits. This, the defendants claimed,
they had bought before prohibition
went into effect and had stored for
their own personal use.
Prohibition Commissioner Peters
stated that he was amazed and dis
appointed at the action of the jury,
which, it is thought will establish an
Interesting precedent.
