GO OUT ON FLAW
TeChniCaIity in Affidavit Like
Iy to Lose States Case
Against Milk Co.

a technical flaw in the affidavit
will i'm all probability cause the state
10 lose ITS case against Alvin l.
Rogers. president of the South Bend
Sanitary Milk Co. according to
city court, in which the case was
tried Saturday morning
Evidence was submitted to show
that the law was violated, and no
attempt TO disprove this testimony
was made Before the testimony
was begun. the defendants attorney
made a formal motion 20 quash the
affidavit. and when the state rested
after giving its evidence. the point
of law was brought forth.
The affidavit reads that milk was
sold 10 V. c. Grippe by Alvin J.
Rogers. through his agent. John
Doe. whose true name is unknown. 90
The evidence submitted by the state
shows that the driver OF the wagon
(Jonn Doe) was not the servant or
agent Of Rogers. but of the Sanitary
Milk Co. Of which Rogers is pres
ideut For this reason Rogers is
not the one who should be charged,
according TO his attorney.
Deputy Pros. Schwartz then ex-
planned the situation. The statute
does not provide for criminal action
against a corporation. and for that
reason il was necessary to arrest
Mr.. Rogers, who is the president
and part owner Of the Sanitary Milk
Co Had We filed the affidavit
against the corporation. il would
have been outside the statute, and
our case would have failed abso-
lutely."
