Wire- BY THE COUNSELLOR Information which led to the dis- covery of a conspirarcy to import and seil liguor was obtained by intercepting messages on the telephones of the con- spirators by Federal prohibition offi- cers. The tapping was made without trespass upon any property of the con- spirators. At the trial, counsel for the conspira- | tors objected to the evidence gathered in this manner on the ground that it | was obtained in violation of the follow- | ing provision of the United States Con- stitution: The right of the people to be se- cure in_their persons, houses. papers |and effects against searches and seizures shall not be violated.” The objection was overruled and the | deferidants were found guilty. On ap- peal to the United States Supreme Court the convictions were sustained, the_court stating ‘The Constitution does what was done here. There was no searching. The evidence was secured by the sense of hearing. There was no entry of the houses of the de- fendants.” A dissenting opinion stated: “Apart from the Constitution. the Government ought not to use evidence . obtained and only obtainable by a criminal act.

August 31, 1862.— Wounded officers and men arrived in Washington all day from the scene of the great batte | fought, yesterdays between the Union Run.

Gen. Schenck raised himself in the ambulance and a gentleman among the bystanders recognized him. “Why. general, It is you!" he ex- claimed. | “Gen. Schenck smiled and replied | “Yes and they have shattered me, too.’ | At the same time he uncovered his | wounded arm, which had been tempo- | rarily dressed. | Some petsons in the crowd. who did | not hear the general's remark distinct |1y, misunderstood it. They repeatcd what they thought he had caid and ‘ioon word was passed from mouth to | mouth that Gen. Schenck had said the | Union army was “shattered.” But thc | story did mot stop there. It grew as if was told about, the downtown section of | the city until it was finally reported that the general had said | “Our army was scattered to thc winds." . The whole rumor was based that harmless remark of Gen. Schenck | regarding his own wound, and nothinc, | mare.
