Ministers Charged with
Stealing Chickens
The trial in kangaroo court at the
Presbyterian church last evening was
attended by about seventy-flye men
and n very hilarious time was enjoyed
by all. No arrests yore mado until
nearly all the guests arrived and then,
after the court was called to order,
Rev. John C. Christie and Rev. Renj.
A. Crnm were arrested by Sheriff
Salisbury and brought to trial on the
charge of stealing two Rhode Island
Rod chickens and two guinea chickens
from Mnynard E. Crosby.
Attorneys F. L. Mooney and Bruco
Brown appeared for the prosecution
and Judge E. S. Davis appointed At
torneys Dr. Mitchell and Wilson Tout
to defend the accused. The jury was
then chos.0 nnd the trial was begun
Both men pleaded notguilty. Several
witnesses were examined and a finoweb
of circumstantial evidence was woven
around the accused. Perhaps the most
convicting testimony was that of 'De
tective Buchanan, who was called
upon the case.
After the testimony, each of the four
attorneys made a strong plea before
the jury and especially was the plea of
Attorney Mooney convincing ns he
brought out the logic of tho case as the
famous CCCC case Christie Crams
Crosby's Chickens. The jury was out
only a short time until they brought in
a verdict of guilty for both of the' ac
cused und for D. J. Antonides, Who in
criminated himself on tho witness
stand. Refreshments, prepored by the
Indies were served and the remainder
of the evening was spent in having a
jolly good time.
