WHAT. BECAME OF EVIDENCE?
Recently "bItnd tiger raid was
pulled of" in an Indiana town that
is supposed to be dry and theoreti-
caIly is. The man who was charged
with harboring the sightIess animal
was rather prominent in the COM
mUnity. The persons who were
prosecuting the case turned the
liquor that had been bought by de-
tectives over to an officer of the law.
When the case came to trial the dep
uty prosecuting attorney asked that
the charge be dismissed.
what is your reason for asking a
dismissal of this case?" asked the
court,
''WeI, somebody has drunk up all
the evidence" said the prosecutor.
