cording tu an opinion of the supremo
court today-' Thoptnlo, written by
Justice Bean, affirms the lower court
for Multnomah county where the case
was tried by Judge T, E. J. Duffy.
Quartler set-up the claim that the
affidavit on;whch the search war-

no deposition, -was .takon. by the ina
giHtrate, and it .was claimed that the
search was Illegal in ,that the, search
was 'not niada by officers to ,vl)om

Neither of these clulms is upheld
by the supreme court. 1
It has never been the practice ln
this state, says the opinion to, "re
quire the disposition of witnesses In
addition to tho sworn statement of an
