The Court met pursuant to adjourn
ment. Epon the conclusion of the !!;mony
of Austin jr. OU1, a witness culled on
bh atf of the Governmtr.t. th District
Attorney sai1:
Mlt. PL.ACK: If the Court will allow
there have so many thins dcvel
op.'.J here that indicate that there is
strong" proha b: '.i t y "r reasonable doubt
to the stunt of the defendant that T
do iht very much whether it is wise to
ake up the time of the Crurt further
with this case.
THE COURT: I think it would be
unwise to take up the time of the
Co.ivt.
Now. there are a lot of thinjrs about
tii's raw that I do not like the looks
of at a!!.
! don't Iiiioiv whether this man is
"rU :i a i n s. an unlawful business, or not:
hui it is perfectly rlain'that nj" rcve.
Tri officer c-.ild have gone In there at
any time without any objection ana
peaceably and qtitly found out what
v.-as poir.g- on. V.'here the justification
was for any search warrant I am tin.
i: to see. The statute authorizes
the j'idre of the court or any comnifs
fioner to issue K search warrant, and
if there Is a repetition of this I will
see that th commissioners tret the
proper instructions with rf-eard to th
issuing: of search warrant.-'.
Another thinp th way in which this
was done. That man from Illinois who
testified yesterday. Hawkins. Accord
ing to his own testimony he walked
into that room, an -J he jumped clear
over the counter, or Rate, or someth'nu
or other, and he claims to have seen
the lei? of this defendant just as hs
disappeared up a ladder, lie went up
there, and he treated him in a perfect
ly outrageous manner; and in a per
fectly outrageous manner h testified
himself that he put him in possession
of. or put him in charge of so and so.
What risrht had he to put him in charge
of anybody? I'e didn't have any more
r e-'u: than I have to step nut now and

counsel for the defendant has said thy
treated h!ni. Ther- is. no dnJal of
the fact that the boy was half-witted.
After they came up they themselves
sa T1 the boy was a half-wit. What
did they ir with him. without any au
thority whatever? They put li.m in
ja'! for three days. A perfectly r.iit
taeron?, unwarranted proceeding:. Not
only that, but these revenue officers
seized this man. this defendant, and
put him in jail for throe days. With
out any authority whatever. Not only
that, but I undei stand they s-jzed this
nan's place of business and sold him
CH)t-- By-. what authority? By none
w.hatftycr.. J it Un true-t-at under the
statute a man forfeits everything !n
his factory he don't forfeit it at tire
wiil and wish of some revenue officer.
He has pot to iro into court and have
it condemned in a proper way, and soid
in a proper way. To my way of think
ingr tii is is about the most outrageous
proceeding I ever heaid of on the part
of revenue officers.
Now when we come to the c in

gather from the evidence that were at
all suspicious are these f'it. first,
several offenses are carved out of these
particular transactions. I am not flnd
ing; any fault with the Grand Jury for
retutning the Ti!l that 1vas proper
but as I underetand it. and before I
leave this proposition that. I was disi
cussing a while ago, it might as well
be understood now that no man I
don't care whether he is a revenue of
ficer or what has a right to violate
the law. and there is no excuse what
ever for one single step taken here
about a search warrant, and absolutely
no .r,i! for the manner in which it
was served and used.
Now. when if coms to th facts, the
only two incriminating circumstances
that tend at all to incriminate, as I
understand it. are these: Now, it seems
that a man who sells colored oieomar
gar:ne. if he colors it and Sell it he
has to pay the' tax on it. but he may
sell the uncolore'd and sell it to the
man who is going to uee it and s'-n
the coloring matter and let that fellow
dv'.ude himself, if he wants to. that he
i eating butter. Now. this man had a
small amount the triviality of this
ciiaigc creeps out every way. Look at
the petty amount of coloring matter he
had. He had a small amount. A neg
ligible amount. He had a sma.'l amount
of colored oleomargarine. Much is
made about where he had it. When
you take into consideration the sort of
a riace he Jiad, wbat.fcis u as ji tbt
toilet room, there is nothing auspicious
about that to my way of thinking. He
had a small amount of coloring matter
and a small amount of colored oleomar
garine, and the explanation he gives
for it is a perfectly honest one. The
facts, at least, are susceptible of that
explanation; and in a court of iutice
thank the Iord in a court of justice fi.
man is entitj to that sort of a Con
struction, if not with revenue offWre
and so when you come to the ques
tion of the coloring matter that he had
on hand, the amount that was there,
the surrounding circumstances and the
explanation that is given of it. to my
way of thinking there is no foundation
whatever to base a criminal prosecu
tion on.
Then we come to the other circum
stance, that he was a wholesaler. Now.
the statute says tht any man who sells
more than ten pounds is a wholesaler.
What is the evidence of the Government
nere? That this girl, who is yiow but
nineteen year of age and who has
in there sometime, and has had
charge of this, made this sale herself.
The defendant had no knowledge of it.
It was sold to a hospital. an( jler fxl
planation is that she knew, understood
and had directions not to sell more than
ten pounds to one person, but sh sup
posed as they were large consumers
that the rule was different; and we ,e
asked to convict this man upon that
Not only that, but this sale he should

and then he is prosecuted for a ale in
December! U is on a par with the
proceedings that were tak-n up there
at Hammond under this alleged search
warrant.
There Is not any evidence here to go
to the jury. I would not let them re
turn a verdict against a man und.r
these circumstances.
