Des Moines. Sept. 27.-The supreme
court rather rubbed it into" Ben
Salinger and Judge z. A. Church in a
decision filed yesterday in liquor
case. 1t was an old case from Carroll
and Greene counties growing out Of
the effort of saloon man to get back
$1,000 he had paid for beer. on the
ground that he didn't have the right
to sell the beer anyway, end therefore
what he paid for it was illegal.
The main point in the case turned on
a controversy as to whether or not the
Judge signed the shorthand notes. or
had signed them On a certain day.
Three lawyers looked at the notes on
the day in question and saw the judges
signature, but two others looked at the
same notes later the same day and
swore there was no signature OF the
Judge there. Then the judge signed
an order correcting" the record and
admitting he had not signed on the
day. But the supreme court finds that
the signature was there just the same
OH the day In question.
Later the lower court appeared to
have taken up the case in vacation,
without any notice or record of reason,
and made entries in the case which the
supreme court says was wholly without
warrant Of law. On the main question.
however, as to whether or not the liq-
uor sales were illegal, the supreme
court said the jury should have had
the case and the Judge should not have
tried to settle a question of fact by
giving judgment to the snloonkeeper.
Incidentally the supreme court very
definitely upholds the right of a short
hand reporter to take the notes with
him while at work and not be required
to leave them, after they We're flied,
with the clerk of the courts.
1t is an old case and this the second
appeal.
