FEDERAL GRAND JURY WILL
INVESTIGATE LIQUOR CASE

L. Menesini and Bill Butulia, arrest
ed in Lyon county following a raid on
the premises occupied by them and the
seizure of stills, gasoline stoves. cool
ing apparatus, mash and liquor. were
yesterday ordered held to await the
action Of the next federal grand jury.
The assistant district attorney was able
to convince Judge f. S. harrington
that evidence other than that seized I'M
der the defective search warrant could
be produced. hence the decision not to
release the defendants. Attorney
kunz attempted to gain release OF
his clients through habeas corpus pro-
cecdings. 1t is claimed that the Mason
children who narrowly escaped death
from the effects OF drinking jackass
brandy obtained the liquor from the
building occupied by Menesini and
Butulia. A few days ago Judge Far
rington, at the time he ruled that the
search warrant and supporting aft
davit were insufficient, stated that un-
less evidence not secured thorugh use
OF the warrant could be presented he
would free the men,
