so it could be used as evidence at
the trial. The liquor never arrived
and has not to this day. Later
sent a registered letter to the chief
of police at Elwood advising him to
deliver the contraband whisky i'm
mediately because Humphreys had
taken an appeal and the liquor
would be necessary as evidence in
circuit court. 1 also know where
the liquor was kept and how it was
just recently arranged so they could
boast that the liquor is now ready to
be delivered to my office"
The prosecutor limited at other
charges which he indicated would
