These cases were the outcome of testimony given by Dut ton several days ago. Dutton's place was raided, and his excuse was that he did not sell whiskey, but gave it away to Induce trade. Today lie was before the Recorder and pleaded guilty, and received a sentence of $50 or 15 days on each of the first four eases and 30 days with? out the alternative of a fine in the others. The fine was not paid and Dutton was committed for 90 days in all, one sentence to begin upon the expiration of the other, This is the first blind tiger to get a chaingang sentence, but It's not the last one. Some white people will have to serve in the good roads class, and it is time some provision Is be? ing made for them. If no provision can be made, the city should work them on cleaning Main street. They should not be kept in jail at a dead expense when the sentence is hard labor. The defendant was represented by Mr. C. Capers Smith, who made a plea for mercy for his client.
