La Follette Jr., victor in the contest. “I am well pleased with the showing I made,” he said, “and I believe that more voters will come over to my candidacy If I enter the field as an Independent.” The Democratic vote was so meager that no representative of that party will appear on the ballot and the “independent” forces are believed at such variance that “young Bob” Is virtually certain to continue his winning ways in the election, Sept. 29.

FIND SEARCH WRITS PILED IN ‘FACTORY’ Loosely Kept Liquor Raid Papers Discovered on Floor of Justice’s Office by City Attorney. USED BY PROHIBITION SQUADS No Docket Kept by Official of Affidavits Which He Issues. A ‘‘search warrant factory,” in which hundreds of warrants for prohibition raids lie about on the floor, was discovered by William Bosson, city attorney, and an Indianapolis Times reporter Tuesday at the office of Justice of the Peace Henry H. Spiher, 3541 \Y. Michigan St. Going to the office to investigate the validity of a warrant issued for a raid Aug. 30, at the home of Andrew Gill, farm hand on the Bosson estate, Bosson and the reporter saw evidence that the justice of the peace office is a mecea for liquor enforcement officers in quest of search warrants.

On the Hoor of the office and in cabinets were found hundreds of search warrants, signed by Federal, State and city prohibition officers, scores of them bearing the name “John Doe" and many of them lacking one of the three qualifications designated by Bosson as affording legality as follow’s: The warrant must bear the name of the person, his address and the object of the search. To find the copy of the warrant for the Gill raid, Bosson, Spiher and the reporter scanned scores of warrants, lying in piles on the floor. No Docket Kept Their efforts were delayed by the fact that Spiher keeps no docket of the affidavits he issues. Bosson expressed surprise at the fact that no records are made by Spiher, but the latter offered no explanation. Bosson said law requires such a docket be kept. On Spiher's desk was a pad of blank search warrants, bearing the printed name of City Judge Delbert O. Wilmeth. Wilmeth said he was unaware that the blanks were in possession of Spiher and said they had been taken to the office without his knowledge. “They’re not legal without a written signature," he said. Spiher said he was called upon to issue the warrants because city judges do not. “I do the work they’re paid $5,000 a year to perform and don’t get a cent for it,” he stated. Judges White and Wilmeth have been refusing to issue search warrants unless officers convince them there are proper grounds for invading homes. Spiher said dry officers patronize his place because of the system of espionage maintained at the police, station by bootleggers. “After the Judge signs the warrant and during its progress there’s a leak,” he asserted. “When the raiding officers arrive at the home of the bootlegger, they find him awaiting them at the doorsteps, with a smiling welcome and a house from W'hich all traces of intoxicants have been removed.” After examining the search warrant for the raid at the home of Gill, found after a laborious search through the piles of warrants. Bosson expressed the opinion that it is “absolutely illegal." Issuance of the warrant Aug. 29 preceded a search of the GUI premises early Aug. 30, by State Policemen Carl Losey and Charles D. Bridges, and members of the Horse Thief Detective Association. The raiders peered into the window, knocked at the door and aroused Gill, his wife and child. They ransacked the house, but found nothing. Bosson said. Discharge of Losey and Bridges will be requested, Bosson said today. To Request Schortemeier B' sson said he would request Secretary of State Frederick E. Schortemeier. commander of the State police, to dismiss the men because he believed their acitons were Illegal, and were Inspired by personal malice toward himself. Bosson said that the fact that his name was written on the back of the warrant indicated to him that he was the real target of the dry 1 officers’ attack. The city attorney will obtain affidavits from Gill and his wife concerning the raid. State Police Chief Robert. T. Humes said that Losey would be discharged Oct. 1, when seven members of the force will be released. Insufficient funds were allowed In the year’s appropriation to maintain the present force. The dismissals will be made on the seniority basis Humes said, and have nothing to do with the Gill raid. John Doe Variety The warrant for the raid was of the John Doe variety. In the blank designating the per son charged with liquor law violation was the following: “John Doe, whose Christian name and surname are to the affiant unknown.” Premises were described as: "The southwest W.

Township 17, Range 4. ICO acres, all buildings and appurtenances thereon.” The printed name of Delbert O. Wilmeth, as the judge authorizing the warrant, had been crossed out and in its place was “Henry H. Spiher, J. P. It was signed "Carl Losey.** Gill was designated as “John Doe" on the warrant proper, despite the fact that on the back of the document was written: "Bosson— Andrew Gill, tenant, R. R. L. Box 225." On the back of the warrant was the notation, "Nothing.” Similar Notations Similar notations had been made on other warrants where apparently no liquor had been discovered. In the blank on the back of the warrant, set for Signature of officers were the names of L*sey and Bridges. „ Spiher offered no reason for the use of John Doe form in the warrant. The Spiher home is a modest cottage. The front room, utilized by Spiher for an office, contains a desk, and a number of chairs, besides scores of search warrants. The visitors received a convincing demonstration of Spiher’s "popularity with dry agents a* they approached the Spiher horn®. Awaiting the Justice Awaiting the arrival of the justice of the peace, were Lieutenant Cox and two members of his police booze squad. While they were talking with Cox and squad members, in drove Lieutenant Eisenhut, head of another liquor squad, accompanied by a man. “Spiher here?” asked Eisenhut. ‘Well, I guess I won’t wait,” he said when informed the Justice of the peace was absent. An automobile with two passengers passed west on Michigan St. “Hello, Losey, old buddy,” was the salutation from the Cox automobile. During the wait for Spiher. Bosson and members of the dry squad held an Impromptu debate on prohibition law enforcement methods. “We investigate before we made a raid." said Cox. “Why, I watched one house every night for a week before we raided it.” One of his men explained, however, that in cases of known bootleggers, the investigation is waived. Seeking to emphasize ,hls view* that police have no right to In dlscrimlnately halt automobile drivers, Bosson asserted it is illegal. “I go by common sense in a lot of cases, not by the. law," one of the squad members replied. Spiher was unable to find among the litter of papers on the floor the affidavit that accompanies th* search warrant, Sespite the fact that he had said prveiously that the warrants and affidavits were kept together. Bosson will persist in his Investigation of the raid on the Gill farm and will hold a conference with Schortemeier soon, he declared. “If State police are violating the law they should bear the penalty Just as does a private citizen." he said. “It Is the duty of Mr. Schortemeier to conduct a thorough investigation of the affairs In this department under his jurisdiction, and 1 have no doubt he will do so.” Bosson reiterated his faith in Gill’s Innocence of prohibition law violation and pointed to the fact that the officers found nothing as proof. "It’s a shame a private citizen has no liberty these days," Bosson commented. “There’s no legal right to wake a man from his sleep and frighten hts wife and baby because a liquor sleuth has a notion he has a few drops in his home.” APPOINTED AS TRUSTEE v Newcastle Man Placed on Insane Hospital Board. Robert H. Melntire of Newcastle, was appointed as a trustee of the Eastern Hospital for the Insane to day by Governor Jackson. Melntire will succeed Albert R, Jones of Hagprstown, who resigned.
