Beer License Case Referred For Testimony
Associate Judge Patrick M. Schnauffer referred a beer license appeal to County License Commissioner G Cleveland Trout for further testimony before a decision. The case concerns the renewal denial of Rosa Ahalt, widow of Huffer J. Ahalt, at Burkittsville, with the license suspended after a hearing. Ahmad’s attorney argued the renewal denial relied on a decade-old Washington County liquor conviction, while the commissioner noted protests and Ahalt’s absence at a hearing. The court insisted on a complete record and sent the matter back for more testimony.
