Lady Offered Drink
-
Burk Lacked Opener
Night Officer Burk and Deputy Sher
iff Hughes had a dry search Christmas
night at the Southern Pacific station
through the suit case of a lady. Burk
spotted the woman, smelled the suit
case and asked her to open it. The
sleuth-like eyes of the night officer fell
upon two bottles of home made wine,
a bunch of cauliflower and other vege
tables. "You can have some of the wine,"
said the lady, who said her home was
In West Linn district, "but I haven't
an opener."
it appeared that Mr. Burk was also
without the necessary working tools,
and the lady was allowed to take her
train for Salem.
The officers searched several other
suit cases in the baggage room, but
found nothing incriminating. Frequent
violations or the prohibition law of
late have made the police particularly
alert.
