"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."
