Iowegian - April 1895

  State of Iowa vs Paddy Lafferty, of Jerome, was called in the District court the first of the week.  Paddy was charged with being a dispenser of "Red-eyed-ruin" and failed to produce witnesses enough to convince the jury of his innocence. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence has not been pronounced.
