Of- i ficers Return Spirits The other week Thomas Spencer, who lives across Hiawassee river on the old Brasstown road several miles out of Murphv. was v listed by offi cers with a search warrant calling for the search of his dwelling for intoxicating liquor. Mr. Spencer objected on the ground that tin* war rant did not show the part\ or par ties who instigated the search, and that he had a perfect right to have whiskev in his dwelling for his own personal use and that ?>f his bona fide guests. The officers found some scotch and brought it to Murph\ along with Mr. Spencer, who was arraign ed !>efore M avor Harr\ P. Cooper who sat 011 the ease as a Justice of ! the Peace. Hon \\ itherspoon was I attorney for the defendant, and af ter all evidence had I teen presented I nothing was brought out against the defendant except that he had posess sion of the whiskey in his private dwelling, to which he admitted, claiming that he was within his rights under the law. \ Supreme Court ruling of the I State against Mull, spring term, i 1927. was cited to show that the de fendant was within his rights. The I Supreme Court in this case stated J that "the mere possession of intoxi cating liquor at any place, whether : in one's private dwelling or else where. is made bv the statute 'prima fac ie evidence that such liquor * kept for the purpose of being sold, bartered, exchanged, g'.vcn away, furnished, or otherwise disposed of. in violation of the provisions of this act.' The Statute further pro vides: "But it shall not be unlawful to possess liquor in on's private dwelling while the same is occupied and used b\ him as his dwelling on ly. provided such liquor is for use onl\ for the personal consumption of the owner thereof, and his famih residing in such dwelling, and of his bona fide guests when entertain ed b\ him therein.' See vol. 193. P. 66I-. North Carolina Reports. The defendant. Mr. Spencer, was dismissed and his liquor given back, but he refused to take it back with him. stating that the officer and his attorney must cam it back, and the court directed. lite case has attracted wide* read interest and considerable comment from the fact that it presents a new aspect in this section with reference !o the prohibition law.
