PROBES POLICE METHODS
IN PROPERTY RECOVERY
Commissioner Oyster Starts In
quiry Based on Recent Return of
Mortgaged Auto to District.

An investigation was begun by Com
missioner OYSTER yesterday to find out
what procedure the police department
follows in enforcing the section of

mortgaged property from the District.
Ii is understood that the question
of the departments method in such
matters was brought to the attention
of the Commissioner by the grand
jury.
1t also is understood that the in
quiry is the outgrowth of a recent
case in which the department sent an
officer with warrant to far dis
tant point to bring back a man for

property from the city. The case in
question involved an automobile
which had been purchased here and
taken away.
After the man and the automobile
had been brought hundreds of miles

WRONG ADDRESS
UPON WARRANT
FREES SUSPECT

The mere matter of one numeral
saved Daugherty Stewart Of SIG Croft
court the necessity of standing trial in
the United States branch of Police
Court yesterday on a charge Of possess
ing intoxicants unlawfully.
Whoever made out the warrant au-
thorizing revenue agents to search Stew
arts premises described Eis home as
SIS Croft court, instead OF SIS. That
made no difference to the agents so they
searched the right premises.
But it made a lot of difference to the
court, which held that evidence discov-
cred in Stewards home could not be
presented against him as is was Illegally
obtained.
Another charge against Stewart, that
of selling intoxicants, failed when the
jury disagreed over it and was dis
charged. A second trial will be held
