Shaw, as Judge waived aside this plea and then the
officers proceeded to tell their stories
All that they found when they visited the two
flats of Wayne was 407 quarts of bottled beer SO
more bottles on ice, half gallon of white mule and
40 gallons of other stuff that the officers believed
would be beer if they hadn't intruded With their
search warrants.
Wayne readily admitted that the apartment was
hers and that the stuff hers.
She said she lived in both flats The State
thought differently. They could find no clothing or
food or kitchen utensils cats or kindly dogs or
dishes any of the usual paraphernaia of home
But Shaw, judge, settled that matter Just
why it made any difference whether she lived in one
fiat or both or none is legal secret But when the
lawyers for Wayne renewed their motion to sup
press the evidence, he protected the sanctity of
something or other by granting it and Mayme was

She showed these police and prosecutors that

If that does not convince take the case Of Lee
Shelton, whose case followed He has lived for five
months more at 41O Mnkner St His case had
followed the routine of Mayme's. Again came the
objection. Again Shaw ruled that he was protecting
rights as judge that day
The police after appeals from neighbors charged

He said Lee is too old to go Jail at 61 Now you
feel better
Came next George Hollsworth BY this time
Beckett had tired of trying to railroad citizens into
jail He fatty refused to submit any evidence after
he had told the man named by a special Judge who
had been named by regular judge that he was not
