Commonwealth v. Bottom

Opinion of the Court by

Judge Hobson.

Local option is in force in Harrodsburg; it is not in forte in Lawrenceburg, which is twenty miles from Harrodsburg and connected with it by rail. W. A. Bottom runs a saloon in Lawrenceburg and DeWitt Bonta is his saloon keeper. On March 26, 1910, J. W. Devine at Harrodsburg wrote Bottom this letter:

“Harrodsburg, Ify., March 26, 1910.

“W. A. Bottom, Lawrenceburg:

‘‘ Send me four quarts of whisky the first chance you have and leave it at John I. Vanarsdall’s, and I will send you the money court day.

“Respectfully,

“J. W. Divine.”

R. L. Goddard, at Harrodsburg,…
