BLIND TIGER PURCHASER GUILTY Man who Bins from Rllml Tiger Equally Guilty with the Seller. Anderson, Feb. 10. ? In South Caro lina the purchaser of whiskey from a blind tiger Is guilty of a violation of the law and Is punishable Jusl a is tho seller. This is the stlbtanco of an order handed down by .fudge siiiuii In affirming the judgements o fthe recorder of this city in several liquor cases. Several weeks ago the authorities of this city employed two white detec tives to work up liquor cases. These detectives stopped as guest of the several hotels and managed to get some of the porters, waiters and boll hoys to get whlsney for them, \bout 15 cases of this kind were the re sult. When tho cases were brought to trial Ibe offense charge was trans porting contrabrad liquor rather than the charge of selling liquor. Each Of the defendants admfttcd delivering whiskey from a blind tiger and several that were acting as their agents of the purchasers: that they themselves did nothing more than carry whis key from the blind tiger and several of the defendants named the person who they claimed let them have the whiskey. The person named had Skipped when the officers went, for him. The cases were Irlcd before jurli in the recorder's com;', and verdicts of guilty were r< nod. Appeal- were made to tho CUt< nit court, and were heard by Judge Shlpp. The attor. noys. arguing the appoal3 for the de fendants, admitted thai tho whiskey come from blind ?'?'? r nrid admitted that so long rtfl tho u ' U key was In tho hands o fthe blind ttgor it wofl contrabrand whiskoy. They argued, however, that, tee el iracter of tho whiskey changed when It passed Into the hands of tho defendants because they bad ohtalnod P?" io!1 ?r 11 for a lawful purpose, and thi ? it was not, therefor, contrabrand whiskey, and that the recorder orrod In sentencing them for transporting whiskey. .Tudgo Shlpp said that in hi opinion tho whiskey, which w admitted by tho defendants to bo contrabrand at ono time, remained contrabrand after It had changed bandst. * HISTORY OF DIALS SCHOOL.
