morning by District Judge E. J.
Miller upon Sellman's plea of
guilty to a charge of contempt of
court. Sellman told the Court that
he was “through with the liquor
business.”
County Attorney I. J. Burns as-
sisted Fred C. Chandler of the
Attorney General's department, in
the trial.
Judge Miller a few months ago
issued an injunction restraining
Sellman from violating the Texas
Liquor Control Act, which includ-
ed keeping and transporting beer,
whiskey and gin. On June 23rd,
Sellman was charged with trans-
porting beer and gin, which drew
the contempt charge.
