j "SK j No Offense Against the Go\ . ernraent Judge Dayton Rules at Phillppi. ' . Haling that persons carrying llquoi I; : |n their own vehicle do not violate the Bp,. provisions ot the Inderal "bone dry' & . law as they do not place their consign tnenta In Interstate commerce. Judge Alston O. Dayton, presiding at Philip IV' : t>l. yesterday laid down an oDlnlon thai will be ratber far reaching. Generallj . , the ruling la not very favorably re Ei" celved by the officers In Marlon coun C J |y, who fear that a general laxity ol s enforcement of any of the provision! will result. Of course persons carry If V lag It on the trains will be arrested ai It heretofore, but It Is felt that the rul t , lng will result In pulling down the props of the proposition to a certain git?> extent For a long time the officers of Ma gv,i rlon county have done their best to rid jfjk ' ' the section of bootleggers and thej were getting successful results. Per fifc;? * sons having liquor lh their automo I i biles were arrested quite frequently Under the new ruling persons car 1 bring liquor in autos Into the statt without violating the federal law and pa long as they do not bring more I than a quart In there Is no chance ol " getting In wrong with tbo state. The * fact that so many foreigners live In II Uarlou county made It Imperative tc nave the effect of bono dry laws sc that troubles may be squelched. Just wh4i effect the new ruling will have i0:.S vCwains yet to bo seen. At this sosslon of court a Wheeling I" *7 " tnan was Indicted for having brought Kg&ft * basketful of beer across the state r-.- . line In his automobile, but be was lei go after Judge Dayton gave his ruling S' on the matter. Another feature of the season was jg\? that two men were discharged from custody for bringing In liquor, claim Bf* ing that they used It for medicinal purposes. Many of the Marlon county prison era received light sentences, the time they spent In jail before trial being fo- considered. Mrs. Lillian Doll, of the East Side, was sentenced to serve sixty days Is the Marion county jail for bootlegging She confessed that she brought In twe . ?.? half pints of whiskey. The officers urged the strong sentence because they claimed that she had made numer ous trips. The officers claim that she , made ner brags and they were on the ( -lookout tor her when she arrived. Clarence Lee, negro, of Fairmont, V . contessed to bringing in liquor, but claimed that be used it for medical purposes. He was discharged. . Edward Eaton, ot Parkersburg, con. , fessed to bringing in three pints oi X~ . whiskey for medicinal purposes and ; ha was discharged. Ho was the tlrst ? alleged dismissed by Judge Dayton for violating the "bone dry" laws. Robert Trotter, charged with bunging In five pints of whiskey to Fairmont from Pittsburgh, was given a ten day sentence in the Marlon county Jail. John Hovewatli, of East Liverpool, -. C., who was nr\sted for bringing In night quarts of whiskey and two pints of whiskey in a suit case, was senfenced to serve two days in the Marion 5 county jail. Mike Walik, charged with bringing In two quarts ot whiskey and one quar. of apple brandy in a suit case, was glv6 en ten days to serve in the Marlon county Jail. ' The case ot the federal government |; against French Hood, of this city, was set for trial next Tuesday. He is L charged with bootlegging. Attorney L. r C. MuBgrave will represent him. I Lovell Gray, of Fairmont, will be tried on a bootlegging charge next I . Tuesday In federal court. Attorney h'Vf L. C.
