' mM iii WILL BE Ni CITY ATTORNEY WAS ASKED FOR STATEMENT YES TERDAY AFTERNOON COMES RESULT OF ACQUITTAL Pleas of Agent of Buyer Plays Havoc With Liquor Cases in tho City of Anderson. It b?lng understood yesterday af ternoon by a reporter for The Intel ligencer that some of the liquor cases were going to be nol- prossed, Mr. G. Cullen Sullivan, city attorney was asked about this matter. Upon learn ing that thlB was a fact, Mr. Sullivan waB asked for a statement or fo>- the reason of these actions. "After conferring with Mayor God frey and the detectives, I have de cided to nol pros the three remain ing liquor cases," stated Mr. Sullivan. "I do thin in view of the verdict of not guilty in thc caso of Lee Drown this afternoon. We had an excellont jury as wo have had in all the caaen and all the defense relied on was that, although Brown delivered 'the liquor and received the money, he had previously bought it from some one olr.o' and was merely the ageut of the buyor. "I think the Jury could have de cided either way, that is, that he was the dealer or the agent of the buyer," continued Mr. Sullivan. "Evidently the Jury concluded he was the agent of tho buyer, ar.d under a decision of tho supreme court, which you may re member-wont up from the city court boro, one who acta as tho agent of the buyer only can not be convicted of any offense. "The same defense of agent of the buyer can be .raised and probably would be in twe of three remaining cases, and there has been a mistrial lu the third case. I am satisfied from the, .verdict thu afternoon .that the saine verdict would be rendered In tho three casen left. It tb very dif ficult to convict 'go-betweens' under the present*^law. The legislature should help us eliminate the 'go-be tw??na' by making it against the law to buy intoxicating liquors for an other. Several states have already passed euch a law. add I think among th?m' is North' 'Carolina, and Ala bama. If tho1'go-betweens' is elimi nated abd tho ; purchaser thus forced to buy his liquor himself, lt will greatly simplify the problem for courts and jurl?s. . "A Btrongo?ttort will be made by the city authorities and others to have, tho general assembly pass such a law at its next session. " *~ "As the matter ' now stands the liquor cases have been disposed of eu follows: Nine plebs of guilty entered, two convictions, two acquittals, one mistrial, afterwards nor prossed and three nol pressed without trial."

The pipe struck Mr. Ortinah in the face, badly bruising his- nose and cutting, his upper lip. He. was immediately hurried to a physician and it was stated last night that he was resting well.
