Arnold Takes Witness Stand in Saloon Beer Case
The defense pits witness impeachment against the state as Arnold testifies while a plumber near the schoolhouse claims to have seen the defendant buy a bottle of beer. Across-examination targets statements about time and location, with Paul Lewis and Ribial linked to the afternoon outing toward the government dam. The night clerk places the defendant at Echo hotel at 3:00 a.m. and a Welser resident adds conflicting alibi remarks before the defense rests. The prosecution then rebuts key witnesses, challenging Mrs. Hamilton and other defense testimony as the trial proceeds.
