LILLIAN WALKER In the Brilliant Drama THE Ordeal of Elizabeth Together With The Favorite Actor, Charles Rawlinson In the Sparkling Comedy "THEY WOULDNT TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY" m Animated Weekly As long as Judge McGinn is presid ing over the criminal department of the circuit court it will be useless for , the district attorney's office to bring In bootlegging cases where the evi dence has been obtained by decoy methods on the part of police officers. Judge McGinn made this very plain today when he dismissed, over the vigorous protest of Deputy District Attorney Ryan, the case against M. Shimlzu, a Japanese who was arrested on a charge of violating the prohibi tion law at 285 14 Front street. 4Je was arrested May 8 and a quan tity of liquor was seized. He had sold liquor to Tom Smith, an Indian, it Is alleged. Policeman Sea as Spy. . Smith was roonamg at the home of Mrs. Sampson, matron at the city J all. She detected that her roomer had been drinking, and Police Officer McDonald was sent to investigate. The Indian, not knowing that McDonald was an officer, took him to the place and they were In the act of buying a bottle of i liquor when the police raided the j rooming house. Shimiru was tried and convicted In municipal court and fined $250. He appealed to the circuit court. "There is no use taking up any more time with this case," said McGinn, when the facts were related to "him. I will never convict any ,.,dn, white, black," yellow, or tawny. lor any of fense where the state will have one of its agents go there and entrap him into the commission of a crime. It is wrong. . State Held OuUty Too. "It is morally wrong. I don't care how many authorities will uphold It and say that it is necessary. "It is wrong for the state to do wrong, and If the state will allow and permit 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 ngnt, and any amount of judicial reasoning can never make it right. Kvery man is entitled to be dealt with fairly. This man sold that liquor. I haven't any doubt in the world of it. but the state was a party to the trans action, and I am not going to convict Mm on this kind of testimony. The case will be dismissed."
