WOMAN ON TRIAL * INSHOOTING CASE Mrs. Tribby Charged With| Having Wounded Prohibi- tion Agent. i 2Mrs. Minnie C. Tribby, 3925 Morrison | street mnorthwest, was today placed | on trial on the charge of having shot Ralph E. Ruby, a prohibition enforce- | ment agent, while he was conducting | a raid on her home. The trial was opened before Justice Bailey and a jury in Criminal Division 2. 3 Agent First Witness. H Ruby was the first witness. He| claimed he had a search warrant and ! that one of the policemen with him | carried a warrant of arrest. They | visited the home of Mrs. Tribbyi about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, he detailed, and after repeatedly ring- ing the front door bell went to the rear of the house, where they found the kitchen door unlocked. Mrs. Tribby did not give them time to read the warrant and as he entered the dining room. he said, he was met by the accy who immediately shot. ~The | bullet pierced his arm, the agent said, - Nearly the entire morning session of the court was taken up with securing the jury, each side using up all its chal- lenges before an acceptable jury was obtained. Warrant Attacked. Attorneys Hawken & Havell | | and Harvey Given, for the accused, altnck'ed' the validity of the search warrant in the hope of showing the men were un- | lawfully on the premises and that Mrs. | Tribby had a right to protect her home. Counsel claimed that Mrs. Tribby was not properly described in the warrant, which called her “Carrie Tribby” and ! that the warrant was improvidently sued because there was no chargs of a sale of intoxicants on the premises. The court upheld the search warrant and the lawyers noted an exception. Assistant United . Siates Attorneys Bertrand Bmerson and David A. Hart are conducting the prosecuticii.
