In the good old days of politics,

sight the spell binders aid those who
control the destinies Of political
campaigns could always turn to the

der.
He killed a prohibition agent who
had entered his home. The agent,
Risler says, did not show him war
rant or state his business and re-
fused to leave when ordered to do so.
Protecting His Home
Accordingly, Risler maintains that
he acted within his rights in shoot
ing to protect the sanctity of his
home.
The issue is rather more comph-
Gated than appears on the surface,
however.
To begin with, the dead agent and
the two other agents who went with
him in the raid on Risler's home
found a pint Of whisky In a cupboard
there 1t was, all accounts agree, a
bit Of private stock" rather than
anything kept for sale; but it was
liquor, presumably kept in violation
Of the law.
In the second place, the prohibi-
ton agents had a search warrant.
And that is why the final disposition
of Rislers case may have such an
important bearing on the entire
question Of liquor raids on private
dwellings.
This warrant was issued by Squire
Ben Rutledge, justice of the peace,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-05-07

caused thousands Of private homes
to be entered and raided on search
warrants. In England at this mo-
ment, the emergency strike regu-
lations empower any constable to
enter any home If he believes there
are seditious activities going on with
in.
Thousands Of Raids
OF the thousands Of raids on pri-
vate homes in America, some have
been justified and others have not.
Some warrants have been legal, 9th
ers have not. Some of the strongest
opposition to the prohibition law is
based on this wholesale issuance Of
warrants.
In some cases the resentment thus
aroused has led to bitter feeling and
tragedy.
This little manufacturing city on
the banks Of the Ohio river Is such
a place.
A case here which eventually may
reach the Supreme Court may de-
termine to what extent private
homes may be raided In enforcing
prohibition.

a family and untouched by any sus-
