144 Iowa 682 | Iowa | 1909
The appellant is a pharmacist doing business at Stratford, Iowa, and it is charged that in the conduct of such business and at his said place of business he kept for sale and sold intoxicating liquors in violation of law. On the trial at least two witnesses testified to purchasing liquors at appellant’s place of business without signing any request or application therefor. One other witness testified to seeing appellant or one of his assistants sell a quantity of alcohol over his counter to a third person without demanding or receiving a written request or application for the article. There was some evidence tending to show the frequent presence of intoxicated persons about the premises, and that appellant’s store was reputed to be a place where intoxicants were illegally sold.
The record, as presented, forbids any other result than that reached by the trial court, and the decree appealed from is therefore affirmed. Costs, including an attorney’s' fee for $25, are taxed to the appellant. Affirmed.
