Stanford Acquitted in Prohibition Court Case
The case of H. F. Stanford charged with violating state prohibition laws resulted in acquittal in city court. Stanford, who runs a store at a certain location, faced two charges but was tried on the liquor in his store charge alone. The liquor was found in a rear room used as a bedroom, and it was shown the presence of liquor was unknown to Stanford and belonged to other parties who placed it there without the proprietor’s knowledge. The jury quickly returned a verdict of acquittal as the sole witness was not in evidence.
