defendant today, through his attorney
frank M. Ballinger, filed in the SUI
nerior court reasons why the goods
should not be confscated and why
tsev should be returned to him.
In one Of the papers filed, Catherine
whal.n motner-in-law Of the defend
ant claimed that case OF beer taken
from the premises OF Frank Nelson
was her personal property, kept for
her own use and not for purpose OF
larter or sale. It was also stated
that the court had no Jurisdiction to
try or determine the cause for the
reason that no notice. as prescribed
nv section 2415 code OF Iowa were
served on him within IS hours after

wherefore the defendant prayed
that the court order the return Of the

premises from which It was taken and
that the defendant have judgment for
the costs.
In the other paper filed it was
claimed that all OF the other goods

Motions were also filed requesting

being that the Judge OF the superior
court is prejudiced against the de-
PENDANTS and that he is IN favor of the
complainant, John M. Kenney, for
which the defendants would not be
able to secure justice or fair trial.
