could be detected without lehoul it lawan but ahen hen it cannot ile be and in nhen it Is under blood that it Is ia being committed then it Is a pel factly proper that the ho statutes of the state or that the law should be vindicated by the course by mr air law OFTEN USED so gentlemen I 1 say to you that while co couii conniel uniel bel have ingeniously undertaken to prejudice your minds in re rc tu to this principle of law the laws law il laid down own by till great weight 0 oc C authority la Is to the effect that con may be had bad upon such testimony but heie gentlemen wo we are not lot con coni Morine tile the question as to whether air lr la ia guilty in fit a manner in aidah w lie could be punished or in which itch punishment might be inflicted upon unon him in fit a penal manner in ili this committee because as air dey has stated no such buch authority exists lie how often lias has it been the case throughout shout tile states stale of the union and throughout utah when ahen prohibitory against tile the sale itale or of intoxicants h hid bad id been passed to give people bontley to go 50 into questionable places for arof thi the pur of ascertaining whether sales would lie be made and low many convictions have resulted upon such buch testimony 0 ilow how many cases has my thurman along apon those trips ile knows and can recount them better than 1 I ilow how many caws cases has hae my brother rr dickson prosecuted in ili tile the territorial courts of utah during tile the time that was acting at prosecuting attorney of persons who ito were acre supposed to be
