WARRANT CONE.
CASE DELAYED

Diogenes. the ancient Grecian
cynic, never looked any harder FOR
an honest man than Deputy Prose
cutor William Goodwin began
looking Wednesday for certain
search warrant.
The warrant is an important
link in the states case against
p. II. Thelen. Tacoma trucking
operator. charged with violation
Of the game laws.
Thelen is accused of illegally
storing four deer at the cold stor-
age room of the Columbia Brew
ing Co. plant last Sept. 20. Ar
raignment and trial before a JUS
tice court jury was to have been
held Wednesday. Justice Clarence
d. Layton presiding.
But BERTH johnson. defense at
torney. raised the point that the
deer had been procured Illegally
by the state game protectors from
the brewery storage room. He
demanded a warrant be produced
or else the evidence be suppressed.
Goodman retorted that a search
warrant had been issued but adj
mitted to Justice Layton that he
did not know which justice had
issued it. He said he believed it
had been signed by an Eatonville
justice when state game men had
been unable to find Tacoma
justice available.
Grant Shager former game pro-
tector, now with the L. S. bio
logical survey, had been instru-
mental in getting the warrant, &C
cording to Goodwin. But Shager
Goodwin told the court is now in
Oregon and nobody else knows for
certain where he obtained it.
Justice Layton postponed the
trial until Friday afternoon at 2
o'clock in order to give Goodwin
time To uncover the warrants
