A man's home Is still his castle search warrants are not mere, for- ' malitlea and the protection of the rights of the people Im more im portant than the conviction of a few Individuals for breaking the pro hibition law, contended Judge Rob ert S. Bean in the federal court yes terday when he set aside the con viction of C. O. Alderdice. alleged bootlegger, and ordered a new trial. Irregularities In connection with the issuance of the search, warrant, which was used by prohibition agents in a raid on Alderdice's home, was the cause of the court's action. That the decision will be felt throughout the entire country in connection with the enforcement of the prohibition law is the declara tion of lawyers familiar with the case. Malicious PenecallH Charged. Coincident with Judge Bean's at tack on illegal search warrants was the appearance before Assistant United States Attorney Baldwin of K. Schubert, pioneer Oak Grove farmer, whose house has been raided three times within the past year. Malicious persecution by a neighbor, who swore to the three search warrants used in the raids, was charged by Schubert. Federal officials, after looking into the case. advised civil action in state courts as a remedy. Judge Bean's action, while in keeping with the policy of various federal courts toward maklna; sa cred the Inviolability of the hon-ie, goes a bit farther in restricting The issuance of search warrants. By - his ruling, the issuance of such a warrant is not a mere perfunctory or formal aot of a Judge or United States commissioner, but is a mat ter of Importance in which the jurist must satisfy himself that there are Just grounds for the Issuance. Alderdiee la Trapped. Alderdice was trapped by prohibi tion ageata last May and arrested after he had attempted to deliver a quantity of liquor. The officials then swore out a search warrant to search the prisoner's home at 574 East Knott street. Arriving there . they found that no such number existed and that Alderdice lived at 574 East Eighth street. North. The agents returned to United States Commissioner Kraser and re quested him to change the street address. This Mr. Prazer did. initial ing the substitution. The legality of the warrant was attacked on the ground that no new affidavit had been made for the change. Judge Bean, commenting on this fact, stated: "There are important provisions of law governing the action of gov ernmental officers and agents, and it is more important that they should be observed and the rlKhts thereby secured to the people should be protected than that a few indi viduals should be convicted of vio lating the prohibition or any other law. The provisions for the issu ance of a search warrant are not merely formal, but are of the great est importance.". Drristosi Held Importaat. United States Attorney Hum phreys, after hearing of the deci sion, admitted that it would Je of considerable importance In the en forcement of the prohibition law in that it would force prohibition offi cers to be more certain of evidence before they attempted to procure a search warrant. "I have no complaint to make, though. he said. "It has always been my contention that men hired to enforce the law should obey not only the letter but the very spirit of that law," Schubert's case has been charac terized by federal officials as a case of neighborhood trouble, one that would be difficult properly to bring before a federal court. The complainant, a middle-aped man. charged K. H. Webb, a neigh bor, with persecution by swearing to three search warrants against him in the last year. Oak Grove Ham Raided. j On August 2. 1921. soon after Schubert had been sent to a local hospital as a result of injuries re ceived in a traffic mishapT federal agents entered his Oak tirove home on a warrant sworn to by Webb. In November. 1921. his home was raided by Clackamas county offi cials, the informant being Webb. Several days ago, a third raid fol lowed, the search warrant in this case bearing Webb's name. In none of the raids was any evidence of the sale or manufacture of liquor found. The search warrant charged Schu bert with manufacturing moonshine. Schubert declares that his wife, who has been an invalid for the past nine years, is almost a nervous wreck as a result of the frequent searching parties which have visited his house. He made no complaint against the conduct of any of the officers, declaring that all had con ducted themselves within the law. As a sidelight on this case. Webb has. turned over to Prohibition Arent Price a threatening letter, wh'ch he said enemies sent him. This missive, sent in a black bor dered envelope and bearing the tra ditional skull and cross bones, warned him to leave the country at once. It was signed by the "Com mittee of 13." Federal officials have taken no action In this matter. Schubert, after a consultation with Attorneys Baldwin and Veatch. was advised that his redress lav In state courts and that the charge of per- j jury, which he wished to place i JUDGE WARNS LITIflNTSJ JOLLY-RATELLE BUSINESS IS JIEN'ACED BY SUITS. Court Lxnies Receivership mn'l Suggests Speedy Settlement to Conserve Assets. Judicial warning that tying up the affairs of the Jolly-Ratelle Printing company in lengthy litiga tion to establish supremacy of con trol in the corporation might operate to the ruination of the busi ness! was given by Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday, as he urged a settlement out of court. Chester Sheppard, attorney for Ocean Jolly, asserted that in spite of the fact that he believed E. A. Ratelle and others were trying to "railroad Mrs. Jolly out of the busi ness," he always has been willing to meet half way any attempt to settle differences without resort to litigation. M. L. Pipes and W. T. Masters, attorneys for the defend ants in the receivership, and the plaintiffs In the mandamus action, retorted that Mr. Sheppard's de mands had been unreasonable. When Judge Morrow said that in his opinion enough money would not be left in the business to pay at torney fees if the suit lasted months. Mr. Sheppard said he thought the physical assets, amount- I inn to about 118.000. would be dis sipated in a short time if matters were not adjusted. Both the receivership and man damus actions were argued. Judge Morrow found the record in such shape th,at he could not entertain the receivership at all. he said, but he took the mandamus matter under advisement. The mandamus seeks to compel Mrs. Jolly to turn over all credit books and records in her possession to her successor as secretary of the firm of Jolly-Ratelle. She said she was willing to relinquish the books, but wouid not surrender approxi mately 9800 in cash. GLOBE TROTTER IS HERE Man Who Speaks Six Languages After Mayor's Autograph. Joseph Mikulec.
