FREES MAN CONVICTED
OF VIOLATING LIQUOR LAW

LANSING, Mich, March 30.-That
a man residing in a local option coun-
ty, who accepts money from friend,
goes into a county where liquor Is
legally sold, buys a bottle and returns
with il to the friend in the dry dis
trict, is not violator OF the law but
is a common carrier Is the substance
of an opinion rendered by the su-
preme court this morning.
Last Fourth of July, Fred Tart, a
farmer living in Oceana county, went
to Muskegon and purchased a quart
OF whisky az the request OF friend.
He accepted the money in a dry coun-
" and delivered the booze to man
living in dry county. He was ar
rested on a charge of violating the
local option law and was convicted,
the trial Judge instructing the jury
10 return a verdict OF guilty.
In reviewing the case the supreme
court holds.
THE question is simple one. Is
an agent who takes money from one
living In a local option county and
with 1t purchases liquor In a county
where II may legally be sold which
he delivers TO his principal in local
option county,. guilty OF any offense
under the so-called local option law?
II is equally clear that resident OF
a local option county may order and
pay for intoxicating liquors outside
his own county and have them taken
TO him by express. The act of Tart
cannot be distinguished upon princi
pal from that of common carrier
He neither gave, sold nor furnished
the liquor in Oceana county within
the meaning OF that act.
The judgment is reversed and re-
spondent Is discharged"
