theless your honor must know how I feel about this matter" the attor-
 ney replied.
 Tt is one of the canons of our
 profession, Mr. Ginsburg, that we
 must often sink our personal feel
 ings," Judge Roche reminded him. | Attorney Ginsburg reviewed the
 evidence and contended that the state had not made out a case be- yond a reasonable doubt. He said the liquor was owned by Anthony Schultz, who had a perfect right to claim it just as he had a right to i do so on other occasions.
 MT. Woods replied that it would have been impossible to prevent 1 Mrs. Schultz from discarding the sl i bill while awaiting the arrival of a woman to search her. The two sergeants did what any officers with 1 brains and intelligence would do un- der the circumstances" he said. | Judge Roche made finding of guilty as soon as the arguments were 1 concluded. The court records were produced, showing that on January ! 2l. 1922. Mrs. Schultz was found guilty of violation of the liquor law and given suspended jail sentence of 30 days, with costs, and that on Dec. %. 1924. she was bound over to superior court on the same charge, while on July 19, 1926. she was found not guilty and dischag- ed. Attorney Ginsburg told Judge Roche that th2 charge was nolled by the states attorney in the 1924 instance.
