P. A. Barrows, Correspondent
of The "D av
Judge Holds Cars Used for
Illegal Transportation to
Be Just as Guilty as
Owners. .
. , i
- Lincoln, March 27. (Special.)
Any automobile carrying contra
band liquor is just as guilty under
the law as the man-who is ar-
rested while the 'car and contents
are in his possession, and is subjcet
to confiscation and sale under the
law. . .
This, In effect, is the judgment of
-the supreme court in an opinion
handed down affirming the judg
ment of the Richardson county
court in a ease in which the Rob
inson Cadillac Motor Car, company
sued to recover an automobile
seized April 29, 1919, by the sheriff
of Richardson county while F. L.
.Wilson, its, owner, was unlawfully
transporting liquor into Kicnardson
county. : .
' Inhmction Aerainst Salt.
Wilson wfcs convicted and when
the sheriff attempted to sell the car
under the prohibitory act, the Cadil
lac company obtained an injunction
. to restrain the sale of the car. The
c6ntentiori of the plaintiff was that
, they had a first mortgage on the
car for $1,100; that the mortgage
was recorded jn Buchanan county,
, Mo, and that at the time the car
was confiscated the company had
no knowledge of the illegal acts of
the owner and that the car 'was re-
,, moved to Nebraska without the
knowledge of the plaintiff.
The main contention of the plain
tiff was that the car was being
taken "without compensation and
without due process of law" and
that the act was therefore uncon
stitutional. '
