Irregularities In Connection With
Issuance of Search Author
ity Are Charged.
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.
