SUPREME COURT FINDS
MERE TAKING OF A DRINK
DECLARED NO VIOLATION
Supreme Court Finds "Friend"
Guiltless of Infringing '
' State Law
The mere taking of a drink, of
intoxicating liquor, at the invita
tion of a friend, does not consti
tute unlawful possession of the
same within the meaning of the
Oregon statutes according to an
opnion written by Justice Harry
Belt and' handed down by the state
supreme court .yesterdayi,
The opinion Was written in the
case - of the 'Stateef Oregon
against Elmer Williams, who was
arrested In Tillamook county on
a charge of unlawful possession of
liquor. At the trial of the cose a
verdict of ecquittal was directed
by Judge George G. Bagley on the
grounds that the facts stipulated
did not constitute the crime
charged. The state then appealed
the case to the supreme court for
final determination.
The record in the case, as set
out In the supreme court opinion
showed that Williams, at the in
vitation of a friend, received from
the latter a bottle of liquor for
the sole purpose of taking a drink.
Immediately after taking the
drink Williams returned the bottle
to his friend.
"The only possession owner
ship or control exercised over the
said bottle of Intoxicating liquor
by the defendant,"' read the stip
ulation -oh; which the appeal ! to
the supreme court t was - based,
"was the possesion for the pur
pose of taking a drink of liquOr at
the invitation of a friend and for
no other purposed ',. ' ;-;.' '
' - "The , said j defendant was not
the owner of the bottle of liquor
and had mo Interest therein'other
than taking a drink' therefrom'.
The evidence is undisputed that
the ' defendant - held the bottle of
Intoxicating liquor handed to him
by his friend ' for the purpose 1 of
taking a drink, in his hand only
long ' enough for the purpose of
taking such - drink, . which drink :
the ' defendant ' took." - Ownership
of the bottle was admitted by the
friend of the defendant.'' V 4
In his opinion Judge Belt Said:
"If there were any fact or cir
cumstance from'; which the Jury
could ' have drawn a ' reasonable
inference that; the defendant was
