'WH|SKEY IN HOME
CASE IS ARGUED


The question whether policemen
can enter house in Washington and
seize whiskey found there without
search warrant is scarcely any
nearer to a settlement today than it
was before, although four hours we're
consumed in an argument on the mat
ter in the United States branch Of
the Police Court yesterday afternoon.
The case in question involved a
phase of the prosecution of James
White, in whose house in Six-and-
a-haf street southwest fourteen
cases of whiskey were seized De-
cember 16 by Sergeant w. G. Stotts
assisted by three other policemen.
Robert l. Miller. attorney for White,
, in previous legal battle, had en-
gineered the defense to point
where Corporation Counsel Syme, AS
sistant Corporation CounseIs Stevens
and Hart, and Assistant District At
torney Ralph Given all had a shot at
the matter. Mr.. Miller argued simply
that no policeman has the right TO
enter a house and seize anything
without a search warrant.
After all The witnesses had been
practically all the lawyers present
had taken a hand in thA matter. Judge
Hardison took the matter under ad-
visement and asked for briefs. indi
eating that several extremely fine
legal hairs must be split before the
final decision could be reached One
of the points to be covered is whether
cOntraband whskey found in house
even without a search warrant can
be taken simply for the purpose Cf
evidence land whether if it is taken
for evidence, it can be returned to the
person who had it.
Pullman Not Called.
Major Raymond Pullman and F.. r.
Hesse, property clerk of the police
department, were not called as wit
nesses, although it had been announc-
ed they would be called.
The case itself presents very little Of
interest as distinguished from other
raids on whiskcy stocks. The dc
fcndant, James White, admitted the
whiskey was his. bwt made the STATE
ment that he had paid more than $500
for the fourteen cases. and that he'd
saved the money to buy the stuff out
OF a salary of SIS Il month.
All the police admitted freely they
had entered the house where White
lived without n search warrant, al
though Sergeant Stntt said that a
voice had told him to come in when
he knocked on side door.
Corporation Counsel Syme and others
| pointed out that no one had attempted
To stop the police. and that they practi-
| calIy enercd he house without protest
| from any one living there. and the
/ District officials contended that under
this circumstance no unlawful search

Entered without Opposition.
To this Mr.. Syme replied that while
there might be no argument about

the dwelIcrs in the home. and that the
| presence Of "forty gallons of whiskey''

GREENVILLE

Greenville. September 29.-(Special.)
Greenville which began Saturday morn
ing. 1t is believed that the cause of
the delay in the shipment of gasoline
to local agents from the Gulf Refining
company and the Standard Oil company
is due to the storm in Louisiana and
Texas.
A number Of trucks went to Geor-
giana Saturday and procured a small
amount of gas which was quickly sold
upon it's arrival in the city. The Stand
ard Oil company of Montgomery sent
three truck loads to Greenvillc Sunday
through the country. and it is hoped
that car load shipments will begin to
arrive during the middle Of the week
Rally service was held by the Bap-
fist Sunday school Sunday morning and
an interesting and instructive pro-
gramme was rendered by the pupils Of
the school. The purpose of the special
service was in the interest Of state mis-
sions After the completion of the ex-
ercises the primary and beginners de-
partment were dismissed. and Rev. H.
r. Arnold, pastor of the church, made
an eloquent plea for state missions
and the 75,000.000 drive.
C. Peterson. a negro living in the
eastern part of the county. accidentally
shot himself Saturday afternoon. The
negro in some manner pulled the trig-
ger and the gun was discharged, the
ball entering the fleshy part Of the
arm and went through into his side.
1t was at first thought that some of
the vital organs were injured, but it
was later found that this was not the
case.
