LIQUOR CASE
IS REVERSED
Hamilton Schlitz Case From
Cedar Rapids in Now
Reversed.
WAS PENDING THREE YEARS
Supreme Court Says Jury Must %.
eide Intent Of Brewing Company
40 to Whether Sale Of Liquor Took
Place In or Out Of Staae.

Des Moines, Dec. 15.-An opinion
practically in line with the recent
C. O. d liquor decisions Of the United
States supreme court was handed
down yesterday morning by the state
supreme court in the case Of John
Hamilton against the SchlitE brew
ing company, which was appealed from
Linn county three years ago, The
case has been held under advisement
by the supreme court for eighteen
months. Though reversal is made
of the decision of the district court,
1t is based on errors in the introduc-
ton of evidence and not on the method
Of liquor shipments and sales used
by the Schlitz company to evade the
Iowa law.
The opinion by Associate Justice
Bishop draws distinction, however,
between the shipment of liquors c..
o. d. and shipments in the name OF
the brewing company with bills of
lading and drafts attached. The state
supreme court holds that in the lat
ter case the question of intent as to
whether the sale took place in Wis
consin or in Iowa, was for the jury to
determine. The lower court had per-
mitted the manager of the brewing
company to testify in this regard,
which the supreme court holds was
In error.
Judge Bishop points out that the
former decision of the state supreme
court in regard to the G. o. D. liquor
cases, which were reserved by the
United States supreme court, was
written per curtain, and he now goes
at length to explain that opinion.
The United States supreme court, as
will be remembered, recently decid-
ed that liquor brought into the state
10. o. D. by express companies was
under the protection Of interstate COM
merce laws as an act of delivery, the
sale having taken place in another
state. 1t was held that the payment
Of the C. O. d. charges was mere
Incident to the delivery and did not
constitute a sale of liquor in this
state so as to render the transaction
subject to the laws of Iowa. The in
lent of the parties to the sale as to
he place it actually occurred, whether
It the brewery in Wisconsin or at the
Express Office in Iowa, was declared to
govern the locus of the transaction.
Ti1e state supreme court now sup
,orts this view, though holding that
he jury should have been permitted
o decide as to the intention Of the
company in taking the bill Of lading
n the name of it's manager and for
varding them endorsed with the draft
.ttached to the bank at Cedar Rapids.
In the Cedar Rapids case just re-
iersed, Hamilton was formerly agent
or the Schlitz Brewing company and
,ued for the return of $5.139.35 which
ie alleges he paid the brewing COM
| ,any for beer in violation of the Iowa
iquor law The district court jury
gave verdict in favor of the brewing
company and Hamilton appealed TO
| he supreme court.

MOTIVE FOR 6RISWOLD
SUICIDE IS FOUND

Des SMoines, Dec 9.-With the dis.
covery OF the details Of a dual exis.
tence led for nearly year before
his death by the late George r. Girls
void, the last chapter in the extraor-
binary ten days mystery which SO
startled Des Moines three months
ago has been laid bare. The admis-
sions Of Grace Stockman, q pretty
young girl Of "a years. concerning
the Illicit household maintained by
Griswold on Ridge street, Of which
she was known as mistress. and. IN
which he was known as Arthur
Stockman, her brother, has added the
closing incident to the many start.
ling events Of his life which have be
come common property since his
mysterious death. and. bring to light
the strongest motive for suicide
which has yet been found.
For more than year this dual ex
istence has been secret, shared dur.
ing Griswold's lifetime by three per
sons--himself, Miss Stockman and
her sister. For many months he sue
ceeded in maintaining his two house
holds, his home on Ingersoll avenue
where he lived with his wife and foui
daughters as George r. Griswold, and
his illicit establishment at 214 Ridge
street.
Since his death the girl, who was
his companion for nearly a year,
whom he had promised to make his
wife as soon as he could secure 9
divorce, and whose love for him had
originally brought her to Des Moines
has guarded her secret with jealousy
which kept it from being divulged
even during the rigid examination Of
all his affairs, which was made i'm
mediately after. Griswold's death.
On Tuesday night. Sept. II, when
Griswold disappeared SO mysterious
ly as he was preparing to depart fol-
Omaha on business trip. he spen!
the early hours of the evening at the
bedside of Miss Stockman at Mercy
hospital, where she was lying very
ill, just recovering from very deli.
cate operation. The worries incid'
ent to this illness, the strain Of the
secret which he had carried in his
bosom for many months and the fin
ancial difficulties in which he was in
yolved at the time and which threat
ened to divulge his secret, all these
united to form motive for suicide
more definite than any which was
discovered after his death.
