SELLER f LIQUOR Judge Russell Hands Down Opinion of Impor tance. « ■ Any Individual has the rlgt\t to ar rest a person violating the prohibition law, without the necessity of securing a warrant. This Is In substance tho opinion of the court of appeals In a decision wrl ten by Judge Russell In the case Leon Smith vs. tho State. The victlon of Smith In tho city court Waycroi* for Illegally selling whisky Is affirmed by tho higher court. , In view of the fact that prohibit!" goes Into effect In le*s than two weeks. Judge Russell's opinion Is of inneh Importance Just now. He says: Any One Can Arrest. "If a private person seep a violation of tho law agnlnst tho selling of Intoxi cating liquors, he has the right to ar rest the seller who committed the of fense In Ids presence, and he has the right to solzt* tho Intoxicants being sold and produce them as evidence. "Granting that tho sheriff haul seized the whisky Illegally, Its pro tuctlon In evidence would not bo compelling the defendant to give evidence .tending to Incriminate himself, even though the seizure of the whisky might have been Illegal. It Is only when by an unlaw ful search and seizure under an Illegal arrest nnd the person Is compelled to furnish Incriminating evidence against himself that such evidence Is not ad missible. No decision of our court* i prohibits the admission of evidence In pursuance of a legal arrest." $70,000 Fire in Jacksonville.
