He presumed that all his hearers were present because they were in sympathy with the de- ! fendant, ? . In the first case J. W. Jones, who operated here as a detective, was sworn and testified that on the af ternoon of October 23, he and Earl Thomas visited Myers' place together and purchased some*beer. He testi fied that he knew what beer was, had I at times been "tight'..and that three bottles of the quality dispensed by j Myers would "?ave the desired effect.'' Earl Thomas was next, called and I testified that be had stopped fo? a few minutes In a dru? store on the day [referred to by Jones, that he was ap proached while in the store by Jones and that he finally consented to car ry Jones Myers* place.

This ended the evidence for the city and" the defense put no one on tho i stand. The case went to the Jury, tho I Jury was ont three minutes and re* t turned a verdict of guilty.
