Prohibition Law Enforcement
Officers Cause Innocent
: Men to Suffer ..
That all law enforcement offi
cers should be required to coop
erate under some business system
of interchange of information re
garding criminals, and especiaUy
furnish interchange of information
regarding violations of the prohi
bition law, is forcibly brought to
notice by a recent Salem, Oregon,
case in Which Robert L- Glasgo
and C. A. Lindsey, prominent citi
zens, were innocently compelled
to suffer great ' injustice arising
principally from the inefficiency
of Individual effort, working in
dependently, of all other agencies.
With federal prohibition offi
cers actively operating ' in thl3
state, with Cleaver's watchful ar
my ot prohibition detectives; with
the sheriffs office and his force Of
special deputies, ' with a district
constable constantly on ' the Job,
and with the city of Salem police
constantly on the lookout for
moonshining operations, last Aug
ust, a stranger from Idaho, came
to Salem, set - up and operated a
moonshine still on one of the
principal streets in Salem, near
the Pacific highway, manufactur
ed and distributed his product for
approximately three months and
was just about to be arrested by
one of the agencies, when he dis
covered their presence and quietly
removed by night to another state.
Tlfe officers who were pursuing
him,' should : have communicated
all their information to all other
law enforcement agencies. ' This
was not done. The ' moonshiner
escaping In great haste, destroyed
probably all of his supply on hand,
by dropping the jugs of moonshine
into the pit under the seat of an
old privy in the back-yard of-4he
premises he had occupied. ' The
liquor was contained in ordinary
vinegar jugs, one-gallon size with
cork stoppers, or in ' half, gallon
Mason fruit jars with screw-tops.
The (premises where this man
operated had innocently been rent
ed to him by Mr. Glasgow, who
was away from Salem fox the sum
mer, the renter furnishing what
appeared, to be .good references.
During the absence of .Mr. G las-'
gow, and probably during .the ab
sence of his nephew, A. Llnd-
ey, who occupied temporary dwell
ing In the rear of the same prem
ises, the moonshiner, had operated.
.' In his haste to leave, the moon
shiner had , also left part ot his
baggage, to be shipped soon as a
new location could be found, but
the house owner ; upon : returning
refused to ship it because, the rent
was not all paid, nor the light bills
nor the water bills..
, After about two months, or Sat
urday evening,' January 3, 192.5,
the . city of . Salem police, armed
with a search warrant, proceeded
to the premises, and to the utter
astonishment of the owner began
grappling in the muck and refuse
under the toilet, and after tearing
off the toilet seat soon began to
bring up Jugs of. liquor. The po
lice had the correct information
about the location of the liquor,
Lbut due to complete lack -of coop
eration between them and the oth
er prohibition forces had no knowl
edge of. the guilty man nor infor
mation that the liquor had been
manufactured - on the premises.
They arrested Mr. Glasgow, . who
Is a man nearly 65 years of age
and who had never before been in
jail. . They also arrested Mr. CvA,
Lindsey, who by misfortune hap
pened to lire near the hiding place
of the moonshine.; These two rep
utableinnocent citizens were forc
ed to jail and required to remain
in jail all night with ' common
drunks and vagrants. Glasgow
and Lindsey both' tesUf led that
they made every effort to induce
the police to permit them to com
municate with ; the officers of ' a
bank, and with numerous citizens,
for the purpose of procuring ball.
These men' insist; that the police
were., deaf to all their demands.
The result 'was that the - elderly
gentleman remained s 15 hoars in
jail,' and the younger man remain
ed about 40 hours in - jail before
they could communicate with their
friends and give , bail and be' re
leased. : They insist that no for
mal complaint or charge was filed
against them : or ' served on. them
until some time afterwards. f?n
. When they were able to reach
an attorney he at once suggested
that the baggage "left by this
strange man man who had occu
pied the premises, be. opened and
something learned of his history,
but no officers could be . found
willing to open tbe, baggage or
who would 'make any ,attemptto
find the guilty, party; ' TheTattor

baggage contained the moonshin
er's complete outfit, consisting ot
a fine copper still with coils care
fully packed in pillows, for ship
ment- ' , : ' A -
Here the yolice, operating inde
pendently had formed the wrong
theory of the case, and once hav
ing arrested innocent persons were
trying to convict them. The po
lice should have .had notice of the
flight of this moonshiner, about
November 1, 1924, when he left
Salem -by slipping through - the
fingers of whateve other group ot
officers were pursuing him. This
would have avoided the arrest,
wrongful confinement in jail and
the .suffering "and unpleasant no
toriety . forced upon the two inno
cent men, and would have saved
them the expense of hiring an at
torney to look up the true theory
of the case. . .
The natural result of cases like
this is to ' cause bad feeling by
many against the police of Salem,
who are no doubt working hard to
enforce the law but who are great
ly handicapped by not having prop
er information furnished to them.
s There are many friends of these
two poor men who feel very much
aggrieved over the circumstances
of this case and are urging them
to sue the city of Salem for a very
large sum for their wrongful arrest,-
and particularly for the de
nial to them of the right of bail.
These two men are good,; honest,
religious people, the older gentle
man being an, elder in' one branch
of the' Church of God, having
preached the . gospel: for. many
years; and he says that he has al
ways preached against intoxicat
ing liquor. . -1 - ; ; -
It is suggested that;, possibly, if
the city ;of Salem should.be com
pelled to pay .these men damages,
such as 150,000, or more, it might
stirrup s-fflcient interest ; to in
duce the .voters "to compel all law
enforcement agencies to cooperate
and avoid unfortunate mistakes..
Another, erroneous, or incorrect
theory seems to have developed in
liquor cases: Once having been
arrested, the arrested party- is
considered guilty until proven In
nocent. 'With that idea in mind
they deny the arrested party the
right of bail or the right of com
munication with his friends and
family. The police are generally
correct, but when an innocent per
son is -arrested by' mistake there
is great danger,, of . Irreparable
harm resulting. The law pre
sumes that every man is innocent
until proven guilty, and specifical
ly says that every person shall be
given' opportunity to give bail
when arrested for any - minor of
fense. . The police in many cities
avoid this requirement by saying
the arrested person did not make
specific demand in writing or in
specific words, sufficient to be. a
legal demand for his right, and in
that way the police are , usually
able to say that the man . did not
demand the right to give ball, be
cause the man arrested usually
does not know the exact language
of the law in which to frame his
demand for the right, to give bail.
All the, law enforcement offi
cers of the state should ba co-ordinated
and compelled to. work to
gether with an intelligent direc
tor over all, . advising them that
men are presumed to be innocent
untU proven guilty, and that be
fore arresting any citizen, some ef
fort should be made to ascertain
his . habits, , character, property
holdings, family connections and
his probable ability to give bail,
and the arresting officers should
be required to advise him ot his
right to give bail.
t The writer has never, defended
a liquor case under the prohibition
law until these t two - gentlemen
were arrested, and then only de
tended them because, requested to
do so by certain members of the
church congregation to which they
belong, and is astonished to find
such conditions possible as were
discovered in, the attempted, prose
cution of these citizens. One of
tha fundamental doctrines of our
form of government has been
openly violated ia the arrest and

The following clipping from The
Minneapolis Journal will be- of In
terest to a large number of the
friends ot-Elme'r Toung who visit
ed in Salem last summer as the
guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
R. J. Young, 942 North Summer
street. Before' his1 return east a
number , of Mr. . Young's water
colors were , exhibited in Miller's
windows. Mr Young is a brother
of Francis Young who is an em
ploye of W. E. Burns.
' Going to Chicago in 1914, the
artist was a student of the Chica
go Art Institute. He - is now a
member of the faculty of the -University
of Minnesota
Mr. Young was at one time a
carrier for tha Oregon Statesman.
. The clipping is as follows:
Sometimes a man will feel
for a few moments only- that he
would like to live forever with one
of his own paintings, and some
times he. will "want to put his
foot through; it, Elmer, E. Youag,
iustructor in art at the University
of Minnesota, caid last night.
Mr. Young , sat. on the edge of
his desk in his little office up un
der the roof of the engineering
building. He was looking quizzic
ally at a water color "still life"
painting. which had come very
near suffering the latter fate. Lat
er it was chosen , with others of
his paintings to be shown in the
1925 combined exhibition of the
American and New York Water
Color clubs, just ended ' in New
York. -:-
Glowing, Joyous colors filled
the picture luminous orange reds
and clear deep blues, with a frag
ment of a broken violet colored
jar to complete the color harmony.
Browndale Mill Pictured
A painting of the' old Brown
dale mill just out ot Minneapolis
on the Minnetonka road, before it
was torn down to make way for
progress, was another . painting
shown. A third was. "The End of
Town," showing a glimpe of, blue
harbor and the masts and sails of
fishing smacks, in the old town of
Gloucester, Mass., around which
Mr. Young spent a summer painting.-

- "Especially near Prorincetown,
everyone is very democratic and
friendly, though artists are no
novelty in that picturesque coun
try." he said. "For days at a time
you may paint peacefully without
anyone even noticing you. .Then
again, someone will stop and chat
and tell you about the place and
its history sometimes even about
its old legends and witches.
; "Peg ( Wesson, , who took the
form of a crow and had her leg
as well as the crow's -broken by
a soldier's silver Cuff button bul
let,, seems to have been firmly
believed in, back in 1745.
"Another -very real character in
the deserted village of Dogtown
was 'Tammy Younger,' "Queen of
the Witches.' She was greatly re
spected and feared in the old days
and, her reputation for using ex
denial of ball to these two men,
and it seems doubtful whether or
not they can ever secure any ade
quate relief for the terrible Injury
they have suffered.
