Row Resolves
Into Test Case

Following an entire day of argu-
ment, Judge Cole continued the
hearing in the case Of Cordie Allen,
sentenced to pay fine of $500 and
serve 80 days in Jail for violation
Of the liquor law, and who has ap-
piled for release from jail on a
habeaus corpus writ. The point in
volyed is q technical one, as TO
whether or not FL Centre city ordi-
nance Nc. 2l4 can be enforced in
view of the subsequent passage Of
the Wright act, state law, and the
Volstoal act, providing for national
prohibition. The contention Of John
+. Berry, counsel for Mrs. Allen, is
that the recorder q court exceeded
its authority in imposing the above
sentence for n first offense, while
Joseph +. Seymour Jr., city prose
cutor, who represents the city Of III
Centre at the hearing, maintains
that the lower court was perfectly
within its rights in imposing the
sentence and that the writ Of
haboas corpus should be refused.
Judge Cole announced he would
take the matter under advisement
and would render decision within
a few days. The defendant is At
liberty on bail, pending the court 3

Escape in Ford

George L. Campbell, county ialler,
tells of Il new method of stealing
that was brought to his attention
yesterday by. a truck driver oppr'
ating between this city and San
Diego.
The truckman, who did not wish
to have his name mentioned. stated
he was coming into FL Centre with
n heavy load Of merchandise, and
upon looking back several times, be
fore reaching Dixieland, noticed 4
Ford ear following him. Believing
the Ford driver wished TO pass him,
he pulled to the right several times,
but the small car refused to increase
its speed.
Driver Amazed
The driver dismissed the matter
from his mind but later he locke
back to make sure everything was
all right with his load. To his sur
prise he saw man standing on the
pile OF boxes, throwing them out on
the highway, after which they were
being picked up by the man in the
Ford. He Immediately stopped his
truck, whcreupcn the man on the
load jumped to the ground and ran
back to the Ford, which picked him
up and turned about in the direction
of San Diego.
Just how much loot the ingenious
robbers obtained, the driver is un-
able to state, until he has checked
mp his records. The San Diego po-
lice were notified to be on the look
out for the highwaymen.
