By Federal Court in Clendennin Case

Mutter was conveying it and before
he had an opportunity to sell it. Glen
DENIM denied receiving any money
for whiskey. and on his trial swore
that his sole purpose in turning over
the SIX gallon lot 10 Mutter was to
entrap him and convict him of viola
ting the prohibition law of West Va.
Further he testified that he had an
arrangement with the owners of GER
tain places where he expected Nut
ter TO sell the whiskey that he would
be informed when Mutter appeared
to sell it.
Commenting on this feature of the
case the court of appeals SAYS
We know of no principle of
entrapment and we can find no
authority which sustains the po-
siuon that the judicial power ex
tends to granting immunity to

torcement OF the state law. the
opinion continues. and even IL he had
acted under express authority from
the state of West Virginia, he could
not deal in liquor, either directly.
