Slilmlzu, proprietor of the Hawthorne rooming-house at iS5V4 First street, who was held on a charge of bootleg ging, Circuit Judge McGinn declared yesterday that It is wrong for the state through ono of Its agents to entrap any man Into the commission of a crime. Shlmlzu was arrested by Police Lieu tenant Harms and members of the morals squad after liquor Is said to have been purchased from the Japan ese witn marKea money. He was found guilty and fined $250 In Munle- lpal Court, appearing before Judge McGinn on appeal. In announcing judgment Judge Mc- Ginn declared he had no doubt the man had sold the liquor, but he did not approve the methods employed In mak ing the state a party to the sale. Only a few witnesses had been exam' j tned when the Judge dismissed the case. "There Is no good taking up any more time with this case," he aatd. "I will never convict any man, white, tiWV v-lln. . ... where the state will have one of Us agents go there and entrap him into the commission ot crime. It is wrong. It Is morally wrong. I don't care how many authorities will uphold It and say that It ts necessary. "It Is wrong for the state to do wrong and if the state will allow, per mit and encourage Its officers to go and invite people to commit crimes and then Jump upon them, the state ought to receive no consideration. It Isn't decent It isn't moral, it isn't right and any amount of judicial reasoning can never make It right Every man ts entitled to be dealt with fairly. "This man sold liquor, I havn't any doubt in the world of It, but the state was a party to the transaction and I am not going to convict him on this kind of testimony." Deputy District Attorney Ryan, who, jwlth Deputy District Attorney Hind- man, handled the case for the state, objected to the decision on the ground that sufficient evidence had been In troduced to convict Shlhilzu In addi tion to the alleged transaction with marked money. . He also declared that the Officers. h,1 a right under the law to entrap a man Into the sale of liquor. The objection was overruled. A quenlty of liquor taken as evidence was returned to Shlmlzu.
