Mr. Harmon I?. Moise represented Mr. Hegau In the BUM and the city was represented by Mr. John II. Clifton. There were only three wit? nessed. Police Otficer II. G. McKagen, v\ ho worked up the case and made the arrest, and Jesse T. Ward, de? livery clerk of the Southern Kxpress Company, f If the city, and Mr. Ho Ran himself, in his own defense. Mr. Ward was the irst witness. He testified to the fact that he had de? livered the package at Mr. Hogan's place of business In 'he Curtis block and that Mr. Hogan had himself sign? ed for it. He said the signing was dono after the package had been ta? ken in charge by C tfker McKagen. This was the second paskage of whls k. y which be had delivered to Mr. Hog**. UUd wpl the tlrst large pack? age. officer H. Q, McKagen testified that the whiskey had come in Tuesday night and that Mr. J :>e Hogan, a son of Kugene Hogan, had made unsuo l c-sful efforts to secure the box then. He had seen the package loaded on the wagon Wednesday morning and had ascertained who was the driver and followed until the package was delivered, when he h id entered Mr. Hogan s place of business, taken pos s.-.-sion of the whiskey and placed Mr. Hogan under a $100 bond. Thero bad been some conversation hetween the two as to the b<>m and Mr. Hogan had asked h.m what was the best way out of the difficulty. Mr. Hogan had also later gone to t ie recorder to confer with him a*, o the best way of getting out of the trouble. Mr. McKagen stated that the package was near the refrigerator when he en? tered and that Mr. Hogan had his hands on the side of the box. Mr. Hogan in bis statement agreed with the greater part of Mr. Mc Kagen's testimony, differing as to his having his bands on the box when Mr. McKagen entertd. He stated that he had not beei near the box. That he. did not know it was coming until the night before when he had received a letter from the company. H. Clark A Sons, of Klchmond, and a bill for the shlpn ent, which was of 105 half pints. He had thought the ordering of the whiskey would get him in trouble and he had been so w< rrled and confused that he did not know what to do. He had not thought of refusing the puckage. His son had ordered the package in his name without telling him anything concerning the order. At the conclusion of the hearing of the city's witnesses, Mr. Moise made a motion that the recorder di? rt ct a verdict In favor of his client PI) the ground th-.i there was no evi? dence to connect hin* with the ship? ment and that continuity must be shown to prove a case of storing whis? key. This motion w is overruled. The arguments by the attorneys were brief and the jury remained out only a few minutes ?efore returning ? Verdict of guilty. The recorder then pronounced the sentence of $100 or 30 days. An appeal was made by Mr. Ho? gan's attorney and Mr. Hogan wa ; K leased on pond until his appeal can ? heard In the higher court.

The workmen who dug up the concrete under the brick report that the concreto was not nearly SS hard as they had ex? pected to find It and Mr. Austin, who is in charge of the work, stated Thursday that the concrete he would put back down would be better than that he had taken up. At present the work of laying pipes on the street is progressing slowly, owing to the fact that most of the workmen have deserted the city for the cotton fields. HARD <>N BLIND TIGERS.
