[ DAVIS DISOBEYS COURTS ORDER TO [• DESTROY WHISKEY (Continued from Page 1) office of the Clerk of the Court All this whiskey was still in the Sheriff s possession last Thursday when he tes tified that he had not followed the Court’s instructions. Four witnesses testified that to gether with two ginger-ale bottles there was a black quart bottle which was recognized as an Imperial Club whiskey bottle, on the kitchen table where Hodge and the two women were drinking on the night of October 12 th. * T. P. Cullen, deputy sheriff, testi fied that he hurried from Hodge to the home of the women to tell them that Hodge had been injured. When Joe Davenport, night mar shal, went to the house to look for the Imperial Club bottle, it was miss ing. The two ginger-ale bottles were still on the table. Cullen testified that he was driving Hodge around the Court House just before the prohibition officer went to keep his appointment with the wo men. Sheriff Davis testified that Cullen had access to the vault containing the confiscated whiskey.
