Lottery Case Lost In Montezuma Prosecution
Attorney General Cosson failed to convict fifty two prominent Montezuma businessmen of running a lottery. Judge K B Willcocke directed a verdict for defendant R J Smith after a full day of testimony, likely ending the case and stalling charges against the remaining fifty one defendants. Merchants had given away two automobiles to customers, with tickets issued to buyers, a scheme Cosson contends violated state law. Henry Sampson aided county officials and testified. cross examination was deemed unnecessary as no crime was found. The ruling may halt similar prosecutions in other areas such as Knoxville where a prize was recently awarded.
