BLAS PENALYER GIVEN Swesh Prince Determined me HEARING THIS MORNING; HARRY SAWYER WILL’ BE} ARRAIGNED TOMORROW Blas Penaiver, operator of a beer saloon, was given a hearing before Judge Hugh Gunn this morning on’a charge of selling in- toxicants. He was held for crim- inal court in bond of $100. Harry Sawyer, who was arrest- ed on the same charge, will be given a hearing tomorrow. He is the attendant at the beer saloon of Pena Morales. The defendants were arrested by the sheriff's office at the re- quest of Colonel Holland McCor- mick, special investigator for the state beverage department. A state law provides that the sale of imported beer, which is evidently smuggled in the opin- ion of Colonel McCormick, and provides no revenue for the schools, is punishable with a fine of from $1,000 to $5,000 or from! 1 to 5 years in jail, or both. These! defendants are said to have had for sale; beer brougt in from Cuba. This being a first offense the| investigator decided to permit the alleged offenders to plead guilty to a lesser charge. The state beverage department has naught to do with the enforcement of the prohibition laws, said the col- onel, Colonely McCormick is consider. ing another phase of the situation which makes it possible for the de- fendants to be denied the right to continue selling beer and their li- censes being revoked by Tallahas- see.
