    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.
