BLOW DEALT AT AUTO SEARCHERS Supreme Court Rules Against Promiscuous Searching Os Cars Indianapolis. Oct. 1-1. — (United Press.) —The state supreme court to-J day struck a blow at the promiscuous search of autmoblles by ary agents' hunting tot booze. The court ruled that under the state' constitution no officer can lawfully. search an automobile on mere suspicion that it carries intoxicating liquor. In making the ruling, the supreme court reversed a decision of the Del- J aware circuit court convicting Jesse! Eiler, of Muncie, of transporting I liquor. Eiler was arrested while rid- , ing with his wife in an auto on a • country road near Muncie. No evidence was given to prove that the local authorities nuking the arrest had a search warrant or wete positive that the auto contained: liquor, the opinion declared. “The authority of a peace officer without a warrant to arrest a person in actual commission of felony and to search him or his vehicle depends on whether the officer lias reasonable cause to believe a felony is being committed." the opinion declared. “An officer who has not learned through his own observation or from some other reliable source of information facts that would justify the | belief that a felony is being commit ! ted cannot lawfully search a car on the mere suspicion that it carries intoxicating liquor. “Such action constitues an unreasonable search forbidden by the con- | stitution.” Search on suspicion by stopping all I passing automobiles to discover liq-, nor law violators is illegal, the court said. _____ _ Doehrman Child Dies Few Hours After Birth Ernest William Merl Doehrman. infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Doehrman. of Freidham. lived only a few hours after birth and succumbed at | about nine o'clock this morn ng.
