the beer seized in the raid of the Toole
premises IA Jefferson street. succeeded
In weaving a tangie of legal technical

The hearing consumed the better
part of Wednesday, and was cotinu I'D
finally until Thursday morning at
1880 o'clock, when a decision is ex-
pected.
The principal line of argument In
troduced by the attorneys for the
Tooles consisted In denial OF Judge
Browns jurisdiction to sit on the case.
Under the provisions of the Weakley-
Fuller bill, they argued. the warrant
under which the raid and seizure were
made was returnable to the City Court,
but not to Judge Brown merely by
virtue of the fact that he issued the
warrant. There being no record OF the
nroceedinRs on the books of the City
court. It was argued that Judge Brown
was DISQUALIFIED to hear the case.
The argument was combatted strong
lv nv Solicitor Stern, but Judge Brown
evidently was puzzled, for he recessed
the court at 1880 o'clock until $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon, in order TO
allow him time to read again the
vague weakley- Fuller bill. and to con-
slider the merits of the attorneys ar

The afternoon session consisted In a
