MISSOURI STATE NEWS
The c. o. o. Case Transferred.


The last OF the state against Abram
Rosenberger, a Kansas City distiller,
was transferred by division 2 Of the
supreme court to the court In banc
and set down for argument before a
full court. This case is to test the
C. o. d. shipment Of intoxicating liquor
into local option counties. Rosenber.
ger was convicted in Webster county
for shipping liquor into that county on
a C. o. d. consignment. The county is
under local option. He appealed. The
ease against Resenbcrger was brought
in June, 1907, by the county attorney
OF Webster county. A convition re-
suited and a fine of 5000 was entered.
The point at issue in the case was to
determine where the sale of liquor was
consumated. The state c%ontented that
the sale was made at the place where
the money was paid. Rosenberger al
legged that the liquor was shipped opon
receipt Of a mail order with instruc-
tons to send it C. o. d. and that the
sale really was made in Kansas City
where the order was received. The
firm had no salesman in that territory.
