An Interesting Case.
Trial of a Yorkville Druggist
for Violating Dispensary
^ Law.
Yorkville Enquirer: The
next case taken up was that of
Dr. J. B. Bowen, charged with
violation of the dispensary law.
This is one of the cases commenced
last summer by the seizure
by the slate conscables of various
kinds of alleged medical preparations,
used to a greater or less
extent as beverages. The town
of Yorkville assisted in the prosecution
which was conducted
nrincinallv hv W W t
* ?r j -- -w i=,
town attorney. Thos. F. McDow,
K q., and J. S Brioe Esq., appeared
for the defendant. The
state constabulary had assisted
in getting up the testimony and
quite a large number of witnesses
were examined. State Chemist
Burney was here to testify as to
the amount of alchohol in the
various preparations in question
and did so testify. A repersentative
of the compounders of llos
tetter's Bitters was also present
as witness for the defense. It
was te3tilied in a manner that
lett no room for question that
the various preparations contained
alcohol in sufficient quantity
to intoxicate and that they were
frequently used as beverages.
There was no evidence to deny
these facts.The defense admitted
the sale of the preparations as
alleged ; but claimed that they
were sold for medicinal purposes
Dr. Bowen testified that he made
it an invariable rule to ask the
customer whether the goods
were to be used as a beverage or
as a medicine and unless the
nnclnmA, -1 1 1 ' ' 1
v/uon'iuoi uctiaieu "as a meill
cine," he refused to sell. Lie
said that he was sell jug the goods
simply because of the demand
for tonics mentioned, the demand
having been created by the compounders.
Judge Prince decided,
that if it were a fact that the
medicines referred to contained
sufficient alcohol to intoxicate
* and it were a fact that such
medicines were commonly used
tor bevorage purposes, the intent
under which they were
sold was a matter of no consequence?a
sale of such medicines
was a violation of the law.
The jury remained out on the
case trom Wednesday morning
until about 10 o'clock Wednes
day night, and being unable to
agree, a mistrial was ordered.
