R0ckland Men To
Appear Before u. S.
Supreme Court

Deputy Attorney General Will
liam H. Fisher left Sunday for
Washington, D. c., where he will
make arrangements for arguments in
the liquor cases of NJ. Frank Dona-
hue and Frank c. Powers, both of
Rockland. to be heard in the SUI
preme court of the United States.
1t is very unusual for a liquor case
to be appealed to the federal SUI
preme court.
Donahue and Powers were convict
ed in the Rockland municipal court
on search and seizure process. An
appeal was taken to the supreme
judicial court for Knox county where
they were also convicted. F.xcep-
tions were taken and the case went
to- the law court, which tribunal
overruled the exceptions.
Elisha w. Pike and Frank A. Tir-
rell Of Rockland, counsel for Dona-
hue and Powers then filed a petit
ton carrying the cases to the
United States supreme court on a
writ of error.
Mossrs. Pike and TirreIl claim
\ that the statute authorizing the is
suance of search and seizure war
rant that the complainant has rea-
son to believe that the intoxicating
liquor was intended for illegal sale
contravenes the provisions of the
federal constitution prohibiting an
unreasonable search, the mere fact
that the officer believes that the
liquor is intended for illegal sale
is not sufficient evidence.
