Court nullified suspicion" warrants
NAV result in a court battle rivaling
the case in which the nullitylng de-
cision was handed down June 80.

necessary, are planned by Henry

before Special Municipal Judge
William Faust.
Depends on Nose
Kretheotis was arrested when his
premises were raided by police, Aug.
18. Search warrant was obtained
bv an officer, who claimed actual
knowledge" of liquor violation, as
required by the new ruling because
he "smelled liquor in passing the
premises.
Prosecuting attorneys hold that
the smelling of liquor constitutes
actual knowledge" because the
smell is unmistakable.
Winkler asserted, however, that
an error occurred when the search
warrant was issued and even though
the officer may have had the re-
quired knowledge it was not set out
in the search warrant as required in
the new Supreme Court ruling. The
warrant, was, therefore, illegal,
Winkler contends.
Writ of Discovery
"It has always been the under
standing of the American people
that search warrants cannot be
used as a means of gaining access
to a mans house or his letters and
papers for the mere and sole pur-
pose of securing evidence to be
used against him in a penal or GRIM
inal proceedings" Winkler set out, in
his brief.
A warrant of this type constitutes
writ of discovery" Winkler said,
and not valid search warrant.
