Rogers, Dec. 1-5 last, in which case Rogers was convicted of the theft `of honey from the apiary storeroom of the Misses Broughton, near Bradford. The charge is that Bennett swore to false testimony regarding a trip he and Ed. Rogers made in a vehicle, knowing the statement made to be `false. I n 1t\n< A,,,,, J___,, _L_.-i , On Aug. 3, 1921. two days after honey was stolen, Rogers and Ben- nett made a night drive in the coun- try. It was from this drive that the i rig was traced to Rogers yard, honey 3 discovered on the gear [of the rig, iRogers arrest- eifected. and his sub- }_=enuent'tria1 and conviction in De-, -cember. To explain the reason _for' that drive both Rogers and Bennett` swore they were driving Wm. Cone- man to his father-in-1aw s home,"Geo. Sadores, on the 13th line south ot Gilford, ostensibly for whiskey. AA. `l_- J...:..I A-E 13..-.-..-.l-l- Clan nwnvn d advte- for ng them to 11tf also v 1115 \.\JlllllIIV\I\.4\A RJVLJ Ian.

The highway timekeep-1 er s records produced bore him out in this. In fact, he said he never, at 3 any time, rode with Rogers and Ben- nett.
