On the night Of the crime Holmes.

were coming down North Capitol

At the time the Government

tant District Attorneys Burnett
and Neudecker, sought to introduce
the death car in evidence, counsel
Tor the accused objected on the
ground that the automobile had
been illegally seized by the police
in g garage on Kingman Court
where 1t was charged Holmes, who
was the owner of the vehicle, had
stored 1t. The defense objected on
the ground that the police had no
search warrant authorizing them
% enter the premises and make the
seizure.
Chief Justice Mccoy sustained
this contention and for the time
being ruled out the car to be in.
troduced In evidence.
It developed later on in the trial
that Holmes was not q tenant at
the garage where he had stored
his automobile, but merely paid
space rent for the car. The court
held that the police under the cir.
curpstances were within their
rights when they entered the build
ing and seized the car which was
then admitted In evidence.
When the Government sought to
introduce the pistol and cartridges
which 1t claimed were the instru-
ments of death, counsel for the de.
Tense objected to their admission in
evidence on the ground that the
prosecution had not established
ownership; that the gun and cart
ridges were found between two
mattresses in the loft of the
garage where Holmes car had
previously been discovered by
Policeman j. M. Nickname, whose
brother, also q policeman, lost his

FRUIT GROWERS HIT
GOVERNMENT REPORTS

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 15.---
Government reports regarding the
fruit growers Of the country were
called grossly exaggerated in reso-
luton of the American Pathological
Society in session at Haddon Hall,
and 1t was urged that better Stats
tics be obtained from reliable
sources 50 the reports would con-
tain facts about rather than the
hopes of the growers.
Another resolution calls for more
uniform and better packing and
grading Of fruit so 1t will be easier
to know just what the package con.
tains. The speakers emphasized the
Importance of using fruit and other
by-products that will save the sec
ond grade apple and give fruit
products at moderate price to the
buyer. It was pointed out that
this would make possible to sell
more select fruits at a reduced
prioa.

MISPLACED HOSPITALITY

In view OF the increasing num-
Der of robberies committed on the
highways by men who have taken
advantage Of the hospitality Of auto
drivers. a motorist will now think
twice before granting a strangers
request for "a lift"
Instances where drivers have suf-
fered because OF their misplaced
kindness are reported every week
in different parts of the country and
Maine has been no exception. Two
recent cases are noted in the Bos-
ton Traveller as follows:
Two men asked Edward Collins of
Lexington to give them a lift" in
his motor truck. Collins obliged
them. The truck had gone but a
short distance when the two pas
eengers drew revolvers and robbed
Collins Of $107.
Mortimer II. King. army deserter,
has confessed that he and a COM
ranion now being sought murdered
and robbed Maj Samuel II. McLeary
Of the coast artillery corps after he
had kindly given the pair a lit in
his automobile not far from
Raleigh. N. c.
II the motorist makes broad ap-
plication Of the phrase. Safety
First" so that in his driving he will
have in mind the protection Of his
own life and property as we'll as Of
others. he can have no other re-
course than to ignore the requests
Of those seeking rides.
