Dear Sit: N '
I am enclosing copy of judgement, also brief in case of Gomwfn.
VS. L.&.NYH.R,“ lndict. for nuisance, No. 75, in the Powell Cir—
cuit Court.
The dourt overruled our grounds an; motion for new trial,out

stated that he was mislead by the allegations of the indictment
to start with, and SMDDOeed that the State womld be able to show
that the Heft. had at diVere times permitted the charge to go on

‘ but as the jury had rendered such a light verdict that he would
let it Stand. The State then ccntinnol Ho. 89 until Nov. term.

I think that the case of Wilson vs. Oomwth. :2 B.M. page 3&0.

clearly settlcn this No. 75 case, wish you would look at it if

V you do not remeber it.

; Find also taxation of costs.

i ‘ Very ttnly.

Dear Sir:— I ' j '
Please refer to my letter to you of June 17th
relative to indictment returned against the Company/Ege Powell
County grand jury at the Larch 1916 term of the Powell Circuit
Court. In that letter, having been misled by your letter of
June 8th tracing me for a report with respect to the indictment
growing out of the sale of intoxicating liquor at clay City in
September last, I referred to the fact that there was no inves-
tigation of the alleged blocking of a public highway at Clay
City. This mroning, upon a careful examination of the indict-
ment in question, I find that while it is stated in the indict-
ment that the train was unreasonable delayed at Clay City, it
\\ddoes not charge us with the offence of blocking a crossing at
that point. I should have read the indictment more carefully
before writing you.
Yours truly,
fléz WM
seeistant Distric A orney.
COpy to
Hr. W. H. Anderson,
Supt., Paris, Ky.

Attorneys at law,
Stanton, Kentucky.

Dear Sirs: '

herewith, as promised, I am hanfling you a brief for the
defendant on our motion and grounds for a new trial in the came of
Uommonwcalth V. L & H E Co., for the alleged commission of a nuie
sauce in the Town of Clay City, in September, 1915. The verdict,
as you know, was too small to admit of an apneal to the Court of
$393313 and, while I think it was whobly wrong, I am afraid ifi the
court rhould grant us a new trial upon the idea that the indict»
ment is insufficient, the matter woulfl then be referred beck‘to
the grand jury and a proper indictment returned. NoVorthelces,
if we can get a new trial, I think We ought to take our chances
on that. I am reporting the matter to Louisville. If the court
Should overrule the motion, please imrediatoly secure and eond me
an att mted cony of the Judgment, with the Clerk's Taxation of the
costs, if any, payable by us, and make report of the bill for judg-
nmnt and coets on Form no. 4, so that the amount due can be promptly
vomcherod.

Very truly yours,
one.
Sin '.'3/8,
Counsel.
P. S. -~- Fleece send me e COpy of the court's instructions, of our
Motion ior a New Trial, and Marion'e Report of the firidenco.

Dear Sir: 3
Yesterday morning, I Went to btanton to look after the

Indictments there against the Company. After careful consideration
of the Indictmsnt for cOmnitting a nuisance in Clay City by suffer-
ing the sale of liquor in local option territory on Sunday,etc., I
becexe convincod that the Indictment was insufficient and both hr.
Atkinson and I argued the Eomurrcr at length, urging to the utmost
tho palpable defects in the Indictment. Judge Shackelford, however,
got off on the wrong foot and ovorrulco the Lemurror. We then
concluded that it would be just as Well to proceed With the trial,
although We had no witnesses proeent for the defendant. The Oom-
monueolth introduced three witnesses whose testimony (even waiving
the sufficiency of the indictment) was, in my Opinion, insufficient
to sustain the charge of nuisance. The jury, after brief delibera-
tion returned a Verdict, findixg the defendant guilty, and fixing
its fine at 950.00, too small to admit of an abnoel to the Court of
Appcnlo. I immediately prepared written fiction & Grounds for a New
Trial and left sane with Hr. Atkinson to be filed. Since my return
home, I have prepared a brief in support of the Motion for a New
Trial and am forwarding same to Mr. Atkinson, to be presented to the
court. I have little have that the court will grant a new trial,
although I am still thoroughly oouvincod that the indictment was
bad onitficxdcmurrcr and that the evidence was insufficient to sustain
the indictment, even taking it in its most favorable ampcct for the
COmmonwcolth.

I have instructed 1.11”. Atkinson, in the went our Motion
for a New Trial is overruled, to obtain at once a copy of the judg»
ment, with the Clerk’s; tc.:zati«:m of cost-8, and fox-Ivard same to me
for voucher.

For your: fi 172, I q rowith 431101 0:30 a carbon copy of the
brief I am sending to Stanton.

Very truly youro,
