A queer question was argued in the Bid
lefor,l court Thursday. A deputy sheriff
| had sworn ont a search warrant agant
Red Dunn" and he brought his prisoner
| into court to answer 10 the charge. The
real name of the defendant is John Dunn,
! and his nickname comes by reason OF tie
sorrel color of his hair. His counsel, es-
Judge Hamilton. instead of trying the case
ON its merits, put in a motion for dis
missal on the ground of the missioner. He
argued that, had the deputy exercised ordi-
nary care, he could have ascertained the
real name of the defendant. He also
claimed that it was disgrace to the court
to have an officer come in with warrant
hearing nickname of the alleged offending
partv. The matter was argued at grea'
length by the deputy sheriff and the prls-
oner's counsel. Judge Cram declined to al
low the defendants motion. but Lawyer
Hamilton appealed to the supreme conrt
which tribunal must settle next January tht
question whether warrant IN whlch
nickname is used can hold against defend
ant IN search and seizure process
