Taggart Case Put on Records Kept There Thru Error
The dismissal of the case of A. Archer vs. B. W. Taggart in Judge G. W. Wond's court was caused by an error that left Taggart listed in court records. The error dated back to the 1919 liquor raids when Taggart faced no liquor seizure and was included in the case by agent mistake. A motion for dismissal was filed but never acted upon due to attorney neglect, leaving the error on records.
