Camden County Prosecutor
Gets Action After Investi.
CATION Lasting 3 Months;
Evidence Awaiting u. S.

Two hundred and forty-six Camden
County, N. j., saloonkeepers were in
dicted Thursday by the Camden County
Grand Jury, it was announced .yester>
day. They are charged with selling
liquor without license. Prosecutor
Charles A. Wolverton has offered to
put his evidence in the hands of the
Federal authorities, so that the men
may be prosecuted for violation of
the Volstead act. u
The work of gathering the evidence
against the indicted men took three
months, according to Mr.. Wolverton.
IN the raids about forty men and WON
en- were taken as material witnesses,
and much liquor is said to have been
seized.
Judges Hates, of the Criminal Court,
mas issued bench warrants for each
person indicted. The penalty under
the laws of New Jersey for selling
liquor without permit is three years
IN prison or 1000 fine, or both.
Accused Dry Agents Exonerated
Hart and John F. Firman, were ar
raigned before United States Commits
sioner John A. Matthews in Newark
yesterday, charged by Harry Sands
and A: Murray, special field agents
from Washington, with having offered
to conduct truck of liquor through
New Jersey.
Hart and Firman said that they had
learned that some one was willing to
pay to have liquor transported safely
and that they had agreed to guard the
whisky in the hope of experimenting
the bootleeggers. No money was
passed in the transaction. The agents
were dismissed, and man giving his
name as Thomas Milsop, 975 East
Nineteenth Street, Paterson, N. j., was
arrested and held for further examina-
ton.
Haig & Haig Starts Fight
A free-for-all fight on Pier u,
leased by the Cunard Line resulted
IN the arrest yesterday of Augustus
stevedore. living at 118 West 135th
Street. He was charged with petty
larceny and felonious assault.
Alexander is said to have spent part
of the afternoon with his mouth open
under an upheld and dripping case of
Haig e. Haig, fve-star whisky. AS
Alexander had a monopoly of the
drippings from that particular case,
other stevedores smashed about fifteen
cases, it is alleged, and discovered
that by removing the corks from bot
ties more speed and satisfaction could
be attained.
Detectives James Finn and Thomas
Foley were summoned from the West
Thirty-seventh Street station, and
when they attempted to arrest Alex
ander there was fight in which Alex
ander, according to Finn, tried to chew
off one of his fingers. The liquor was
valued at SIS bottle.

Court Condemns Liquor
Trials on I1ef0rnaQtio1es
Cnrrin Rules Against the Vol.
stead Act Evidence Obtained
bv Search WiRhOuf Warrant

Federal Judge Garvin handed down q
decision yesterday in Brooklyn con-
demning the practice of trying defen-
dants charged with violations of the
Volstead act on informations.
On July 10 warrant was issued for
the arrest of Harold w. Quaritius, a
saloon keeper at 2138 Rockaway Ave
nue., Brooklyn. He was charged with
maintaining nuisance contrary to the
Volstead act. A warrant was also
issued for the arrest of the bartender,
John Trainor, on the charge of having
liquor in his possession.
The defendants were arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Henry
D. Barmore, who dismissed the cases
on the ground that when the agents
went into the saloon and asked for a
drink it was denied them and that they
then proceeded to search the premises
without search warrant, seizinC a
quantity of liquor.
The Commissioner held that this was
a violation of the Fourth Amendment
of the Constitution. Later United
States District Attorney Leroy w.
Ross purpossed to bring the meh into
the Federal Court on informations
Through counsel they requcsted a
hearing on the granting of the inter
nations.
Judge Garvin decided yesterday that
informations could not be granted in
their cases. He said sufficient sub
stantial evidence had not been ad-
duced.
"As' the agents had no reason to be-
lieve that any violation had taken
place" Judge Garvin said, "their search
of the premises without warrant and
the seizure resulting therefrom were
a clear violation of the Fourth Amend
ment of the Constitution and no con-
viction could be had on evidence so OBJ
tanned. The rights guaranteed to the
people by the Fourth Amendmnt can
not be disreparded y
