LIQUOR CEASES
 TO BE PROPERTY
 IN SOME CASES
No Property Rights in Booze Which Is Stored Unlaw-
 fully, Court Holds.

OROFILIIE. Cal..i March 1S.-,- Liquor ceases to he property when it can be shown that the possessor had it stored in place which can not be considered his home, under .a ruling made recently by Superior Judge H. D. Gregory, Oroville, when four boys were brought before him pE charge of stealing 200 gallons of wine from a Hindu resident Of Cridley.
 Counccl for the accused pro tuccd a copy cf the Volstead act. quoting section which said a person in possession of liquor must prcye he is in legal possession in order to establish the exis tence of the banned drink.
 The Hindu confessed that the liquor was stored in barn ad- joining his ranch house and was stolen from there by the defend: ants. As the Folstead act only per mits tho possessor of liquor to store ii in his own home. the court ruled that 200 gallons of wine stolen from the Hindu was not property and dismissed the defendants who were rearrested immediately by Fed erel authorities on the same charge.
 United States District Attorney Frank M. Silva of San Francisco, referring to the same case, has sus- taincd the ruling of Judge Gregory
 There are no property rights in icuor which is unlawfully stored Mir. Silva said. 'In other words liquor acquired since January IT, 1920 is not property within the meaning of the law and as such 1t eannot be stolen.
 "Of course, physically it can be cemoy cd surreptitiously but the hicf cannot be prosecuted because, theoretically, liquor does not exist nd therefore it is impossible to- ,eal an article which does not exist.
 Conversely. liquor acquired since he Volstead act is fair game for .urElars, in that they cannot be- onvicted of stealing it. On theI ame theory. the theft of hoFe brew ,annot be held against q thief, no natter how reprehensible that act oay appear to the layman.
 'If blind pig is footed of itsI torres by thieves, they cannot bel rosecuted for burglary. They haveI ot stolen anything in the eyes Of 'e law for liquor is non-existent. may be hard on the bootlegger, | mt it is the law"
