asses Oh this kind had occurred in
Maine. the most notable of which was
that of the raid upon the Buckley
Iuuse in Lewiston in 1907. In that case
enforcement deputies damaged the
ouse and a verdict of several hundred
dollars was secured against them in
court Tho amount of this verdict was
settled by the Enforcement Commission
aud it was to prevent the re-occurrence
in the future that the bill was intro
duced
Judge Williar2 II. Newell of Lewist N
opposed the measure. He said that he
tried the Buckley case and secured q
verdict of not guilty. The verdict was
overturned and the next verdict was
for the plaintiff. He rected the facts
of the raid stating that after seeing
Buckley bring the liquor from the
house on two different occasions and
sell it, the officers waited until they
could go to the municipal court aid
get d warrant before making a search
Of the house. When they had secured
the warrant they entered the house
and warned the occupants that if they
did not show the hide they should fine
IL even though it became necessary to
damage the house. The occupants re-
fused the information, and search was
made and the damage done.
Judge Newell said that unless officers
engaged in searching under q warrant
could be protected by that warrant
there could be no enforcement of that
law. Replying to q question ~ SeEa-
tor Staples Judge Newell declared his
belief to be that if officers had reason
to believe that liquor was concealed in
a house it was their duty under 4
search and seizure warrant TO fini #
if they had to raise the house. He did
not wish to be understood as believing
in the Sturgis law, for he did not
He did not believe in the prohibitory
law. but while it was a law he believes
