Prosecution Withdrawn In Dram Shop Case
The city case against Dr B A Powell over alleged dram shop violations was withdrawn. Prosecutors aimed to force a liquor license, but doctors objected to selling liquor for prescriptions and the ordinance likely covered only drinking scenarios. The withdrawal was deemed wise as no case existed. The quarter meeting of the M. 5. charge of Henry occurred last Sunday with Presiding Elder M W B White delivering a sermon.
