Butler, alrootor of public by Judge Learned Hand in federal district court today, according to As- | sistant United States District Attor- ney John L. Caskin. Judge Hand’s ruling was made in the case of Paul Taorima, agalnst whose premises search warrants, for service either day or night, were is- | sucd by United States Commissioner Hitchcock upon allegations by fed- cral agents that they had seen liquor being served -on the premises. The court upheld a motion to vacite the warrants on the ground that there Was no positive allegation made on which a seareh warrant could legally be issued. Baned on Esplonage. The ruling, Mr. Cashin explained, was based on a section of the espion- age law. from which the Volstead act derives its power of search and seiz- * ure, that a search warrant must be served In the daytime unless accom- panied by an afidavit definitely alleg- ing that the property sought is actu- #llv on the premises to be searched. This interpretation, Mr. Cashin said, indicated the court's opinion that the serving of prohibited drinks did not constitute sufficient proof of violation | of the law to justify a night-time raid | by government agents. Most of the places where liquor Is sold are closed during the daytime, he said, and raids at that time would have little effect. { In consequence of the ruling Mr. Cashin directed police officers to make errests immediately and search the premises for liquor without a war- | rant in cases where they observe Violation of the law in public place ] U.
