“Coinrad” Fox Acquitted.

Charles Fox, who carrips the mail between the Monon station and the local postoffice, had his trial at Kentland Monday on the charge of running a boot-legging joint in Rensselaer arid was arrested here a year ago on this charge and recently took a change of venue to Newton county. He was acquitted by the jury after a few moments deliberation. Five quarts of whiskey was found in Comrad’s place when the officers made the search at the time of the arrest, but he claimed this was for his personal use, and no sales could be proven against him. Comrad was defended by attorney Mose Leopold of this city.
