Bartender in Charge of Saloon Faces Liquor Case
The defense closed its case as District Attorney Bosshard argued two core issues: whether Lien was a minor at age 20 and whether Rennebohm held the liquor license for a saloon that sold him liquor. Higbee contended no evidence showed liquor was purchased at Rennebohm’s on that date, and the jury swiftly returned a verdict after brief deliberation. The six jurors were Frank Sisson A A Bantley Theodore Thompson William H Funke R H Weston and August Grams.
