Centerville, Ia., Aug. 11.-Judge C..

has rendered his opinion in the case
brought by the state against the
United States Express Co. for vio-

the states request for an injunction
Cn the ground that the state had
failed to show that the liquor was
intended for Illegal sale. The ruling
assumes but does not affirm the con

Although Judges Hunter of/Ottumwa
and Vermilion heard jointly the argu.
ments on the constitutionality of the
law, the Ottumwa jurist alone had to
rule on its legality because in the
case he was trying, it was shown by
the state that the liquor was intend.

Cleave and Schwedtman, and also
Emery and Mulhall. | never looked
upon the latter as anything but a
messenger boy and never dignified
him with any serious discussion OF

When Mulhall took the stand, Chair
man Barrett led him through detail
ed history of his life and his Tela
tions with the manufacturers. He re

that the organization he represented
