Cigarettes Case Highlights Trial For Minor Sales
The circuit court heard a case against DN Fowler and Marley for selling cigarettes to a minor. Witnesses testified that 16 year old Henry Gilchrist bought cigarettes at Fowler’s, with Marley tied to payment of the boy’s account. A heated outburst occurred during cross examination but the trial proceeded with arguments by attorney Owens and LeGrand. The statute imposes fines or up to one year in jail for selling to minors.
