Bad Checks Good Enough
 For Liquor, Court Says

Detroit, Jan, 2s.-Tendering a worthless check in payment for liquor Is not violation of the law, Judge Harry R, Kiedan told jury here yes terday in instructing the jurors of the case of Willard A, smith of Kala- mazoo, charged with giving to George Brown a check for $640 as payment for eight cases of whiskey,
 lnasmuch as there are no property rights in liquor, the court held it's sale cannot constitute a legal transaction, and the exchange of worthless paper for it, is not crime,
 smith testified that liquor also was "worthless' and for that reason he made no effort to protect the check which he had drawn on a Kalamazoo bank. He was acquitted.

experienced difficulty in extinguishing
the blaze.
