while talking with the defendant his wife
and son began breathing jugs containing
intoxicating liquor in the house The
house consisted OF one room and this was
done IN plain view of the defendant. De-
PENDANT then arrested the plaintiff and
told him to get into the automobile, in
which he was brought to Winchester The
defendant also took from The house one
of the jugs containing Wli"ky. There is
no evidence of any kind that the plaintiff
was in any way or manner physically
abused, either at the time, on the way 10
the jail or after he arrived there. A num-
Der of witnesses testified that the general
reputation of the plaintiff where he re-
sided was bad.
THE theory of the defendant in error
is that he had a right to make the arrest

able grounds for believing that plaintif

APPELLATE COURT RENDERS IMPORTANT DECISION IN
AID OF Law ENFORCEMENT

The Illinois Appellate Court has recent
iy rendered decision on the question of
arrests without warrant for violations of
the Illinois Prohibition act, of great i'm
pOrtance in law enforcement.
The holding of the Court, in brief is
this: A sheriff has the right to make an
arrest without a warrant for violation of
the Prohibition act when he has reason
able grounds for believing that the per-
son has committed crime from infor-
nation given him, if such person has I'M
lawfully possessed and sold Intoxicating
liquor.
The statute of this state, as will appear
from the statement by the Court quoted
below, goes further than does the common
law Or the statutes Of most states in au-
thorizing arrests without warrant. The
usual requirement IS that an arrest may
only be made without q warrant when in
formation is sensed directly by the officer,
sufficient to cause q prudent man to be-
neve that an offense is being committed
in his presence. This is the rule govern
ing arrests without warrant for INSIDE
meanors in most Jurisdictions; but under
the Illinois statute the officer may act on
reliable information from others as well
as on evidence obtained through his own
senses.
The Court in the case in question, Will
nams v Thady, reported in Vol. 253 (ad-
vance sheets) of the Illinois Appellate
Court Reports, page 116, in upholding the
arrest, and search and seizure incident
thereto, says:
George E. Mann was an investigator
acting under the direction of the sheriff
and States Attorney and had told de-
PENDANT of the purchasing of whisky in
the house of the plaintiff and on the day
in question, the sheriff having the search
warrant in his possession and taking three
men with him, went to the home of plain
tiff, which he found to be on the east side
of Center street instead Of on the west
side thereof as set out in the search war
