These were quite elaborate stills, we'll

innocence of the accused, have not
been formed on the evidence submit
ted at the preliminary hearing, the
minds of the members Of the jury
panel and the spectators being open
to conviction on the merits Of the case
as presented at this term of court.

Green in the examination Of the jury
men lead one to believe that the case
is to be decided on circumstapcial evil

show that the crime could not have
been committed by anyone other than
the accused. .aE

at top speed. There was about 200
gallons of mash in the basement, a
SO gallon barrel about one fourth full
of finished "moon' and about six gal
Ions of the finished product under
the two stills. The two stills, a guam
tity of mash and the six gallons Of
finished liquor were confiscated and
brought to town. The balance of the
liquor stored was destroyed on the
premises,
From the size of the equipment
found and the facilities for storage of
the finished product it is thought that
Mr.. Butter had been operating on a
wholesale scale.
The owner Of the farm, Mr.. Clifford
Buttjer was in town at the time Of
the search and he was not apprehend-
ed. However, he was taken into GUS
tody by Deputy Sheriff Lippold this
morning and will be arraigned before
Judge I. j. Moe at 200 o'clock this
afternoon.

er Of the Fingal district was next
called and temporarily accepted.
Chris Olson, 25, farmer, of Ypsilanti
was the third juror called and was ac-
cepted. Carl Rasmussen, the fourth
juryman called, was excused due to
an admitted prejudice against the ac-
cused. Olaf Olson, the fifth juryman
up for examination, a stone mason
living at Kathryn, At, single, was the
third juryman accepted. Plus Stroh,
farmer, Of Sanborn, was excused ow-
ing to prejudice against the accused.
