HIGHT TO SEA acH DEFINED.
Supreme Court Renders Decision OF
Importance.


Des Moines, Oct. 10.--The right of
officers to serve search warrants
without all the due formalities of
law was matter tested In supreme
court decision handed down by JUS
tice Sherwin yesterday. The case
was from Lyon county and was en-.
titled state of Iowa VS.. Thomas Sheri-
dan. Sheridan was an ice dealer at
Rock Rapids. One morning II was dis
covered that the stock of ice belong
ing to competitor had been largely
destroyed by some one pouring salt
on the same. Sheridan was suspect.
ed of the destruction. and II was
learned that a short time previous
to the act of destruction he had pur.
chased a barrel of salt of one of the
merchants of the place. In order to
secure evidence which might fasten
the crime on Sheridan a search war
rant was procured and In the cellar
of his house the officer serving 1t
found an empty salt barrel. The fact
OF finding the barrel was introduced
in evidence and 1t was largely on
that testimony that Sheridan was de-
clared guilty of the crime. He took
an appeal from the lower court and
his attorneys objected to the right of
the state to procure its evidence in
the manner in which 1t did. 1t is
stated in the decision Of the supreme
court that the attorney general ad-
mitted the search warrant which pro
duced the empty salt barrel as evi-
dence in the case was issued without
authority of law.
