 Methods used by the police de- partment in executing liquor raids were scored in the city court this morning by Attorney Noble E. Pierce, when his client, Stanley Cwik Of IT Hull street, was pre- sented on q charge of keeping in- toxicating liquor with intent to sell and reputation.
 On last Saturday night shortly after II o'clock. Officers Henry Jeglinski, William Thompson and Edgar Norton appeared at Cwik's home with a search warrant Officer Jaglinski approached the front door and Thompson the rear entrance. both testifying that when they rap ped and demanded admitance the lights were put out and no action taken to comply with their request. Officer Thompson immediately forced the door and rushing in, con- tiscated a pitcher containing some alleged liquor, part of which he calimed had been poured into the sink before he could seize the con- tainer. Enough was secured, how ever, to warrant the arrest of Cwik,
 Attorney Pierce felt that en- deayoring to gain access to priv ate house at the hour at which the raid was conducted was violating the sanctity of the home and felt that the officers had exceeded their authority in affecting an entrance by force. He suggested that he be given time in which to write q brief on the subject with a view of sub hitting a copy to Judge William J. Malone and Prosecuting Attorney James T. Mather. Judge Malone said he would gladly welcome such an action on the part of Mir, Pierce. Mir. Mather felt that the officers were entirely within their rights by forcing an entrance on a warrant, after admission had been refused them.
 C'wik Is a veteran Of the World War and is apparently suffering from the ravages of tuberculosis. He Was in court only few weeks age and at that time Judge Malone ini- posed a fine Of $50 and costs, later remitting the fine with the under. standing that Cwik discontinue tho . selling of liquor This morning after a long consideration of tho case. the judge continued it for onc week. placing Cwik under the care of the probation officer for that period and suggested that CWik move to some other part of the city within that time. The police de partment claims that numerous complaints have been received con corning the reputation of the place and that on Memorial Day , men were seen leaving the place either under the influence or carrying the wherewithal to get that way in some other locality
 . At the present time CUik is re- ceiying SI2 d week from the gov ernment and his wife is working each day in an effort to maintain the home. It was on account of theil financial condition and the physica condition of Cwik that inclined the Judge toward leniency in the mans last appearance and also influenced his decision in the case this morn. ing
