Macon, Ca, March 20.-The right
of officers to search automobiles with
out warrants in quest of liquor was
sustained by Judge William II. Barrett

ton Of counsel for George Ccffin and
G. ii Bretheau. of Indianapolis, for
the return of $500 in bonds, deposited

THE opinion that officers can not
search automobiles" declared Judge

rant statutes protect Reasonable
search is always permissible"
Judge Barrett, while holding court
in Savannah, Ca. was quoted as say
ing an officer had no authority to
