Sheriff Claims Police “Tip Off City Rum Raids City, County and Federal Of ficers Clash in Codrt Over Case of For mer Sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Dan Phillips charged In police court Saturday morning that bootleggers were In formed of warrants issued for thalr arrest through municipal court and police officials. Prohibition Director Elmer Thomas declared that the municipal courts seamed to taka advantage of ovary technicality In favor of ths liquor law violator. Ths Ira of ths two officers waa aroused during the hearing of ths case of Charles Hutter, former Sarpy county Mterlff, 4429 South Eighteenth street, arrested by Phillips, Fes and Wright of ths sheriff's morals squad, August 14. Three gallons of alcohol and a quantity of horns braw are al leged to have been seized at Hutter’s .home. Plead* With Holmes. Charges and counter charges were hurled during the hearing. Hutter’s attorney maintained that the time limit of the warrant had expired at the time of the raid. The warrant was issued July 26. Judge Georgs Holmes sustained the attorney stat ing that a four-day time limit had been set on warrants at a recent con ference of the municipal judges. Hutter’a attorney charged that Phil lips had committed perjury by swear ing to the warrant when no booze waa on Hutter’s premises. Director Thomas strode to the bar and pleaded with Holmes for a longer time limit on search warrants. "It is the purpose of the court to aid In law enforcement. But It seems to be a tendency amoung municipal judges to obstruct the enforcement of the prohibition law by taking advan tage of every technicality.” Charge Is Dlmisaed. "There ie a leak In tha court and police department,” exclaimed Phil lips. "Bootleggers are warned as eoon as a warrant Is issued for their ar rest. I have learned that Hutter was Informed by a policeman that a war rant had been issued for his arrest.” “Do you mean to Infer that this court and the police department are co-operating with bootlegger*?" de manded City Prosecutor A. J. Brun gardt. "No,” returned Phillips. "But I do say that Hutter has relations and friend* on the police fores." v The charge against Hutter waa dis missed.
