IMPORTANT
CASE GOES
TO COURT

One Of the most important cases
that has come before the courts in
this county and one that will have
far reaching consequence inasmuch
as it will determine the effectiveness
of the pYohibitory laws, is scheduled
in the district court today. The
case is that of the state VS.. Joe Ber-
Try in which the state is seeking to
iconfiscate an Overland automobile in
which it is alleged that Berry was
transporting intoxicating liquors con
,trary to state laws.
Speaking of the case today, County
Attorney Simpson said:
Berry was taken into custody last
April, tried and convicted of having
in his possession 11O quarts Of whis-
key near Pocasset. He has already
served a jail sentence for the crime
"The question of law that is in
volved is whether the rights Of the
mortgage are paramount to those OF
the state in an action OF this kind
"The supreme court of the state
has never passed upon the question
of law involved although several
cases have been tried in the lower
courts throughout the state and the
majority of the decisions uphold the
position taken by the state in the
Grady county case, that the states
rights to the automobile supersede
the rights of the MORTGAGE.
"The county courts here have de-
cided in favor Of the morgagee and
the same position was taken by the
district court in McLain county, but
the courts in Oklahoma county have
held to the contrary as have the
courts in the majority of the other
in which similar cases have
come up for trial
Attorneys who have made a stu
ly of the law involved in the case
make the prediction that the supreme
court will uphold the theory that the
state had a precedent right over the
and they say that unless
his position is taken by the court
he effectiveness OF the state prohib-
ory law will be practically nullified
Jars that are used for the transpor-
alton Of liquor viii all be mortgaged

heir means Of conveying their arti-
lie from one place to another can
lot be attacked The result will be, Il
hey say, that the country will again
