Consignee Must Prove
Alocohol for Medicine
Newport, March 22-—Acting j
upon a request of local peace of- j
fleers to define the “bone dry”
law in regard to alcohol ship
ments marked “For Medical Use
Only,*’ Judge D. H. Coleman,
circuit judge for the Third Ju
dicial District, has issued the
following statement as to his
construction of the law:
A great many people have
been misinformed by misleading
and false advertisements put out
by unscrupulous liquor houses, !
in which prospective customers j
are told that they can order and

have shipped ‘all the alcohol they
want’ by having it labeled “For
Medicinal Purposes,” and there
by evade the law.
“This is wrong and will get
many unsuspecting people and
others desiring to have alcohol
stimulants into trouble. The
fact that a person receives a
shipment of alcohol or other al
coholic liquors makes out a plain
case under the law, and it is a
matter of defense, with the bur
den of proof on the party re
ceiving the alcohol, to show that
it was ordered and received to be
used solely for medicinal pur
poses.”
There has been much alcohol
shipped into this territory since
the law became effective, and
Judge Coleman in a published
statement warns the public that
hereafter seizure and arrest will
be made in all cases in which
there is any doubt in the minds
of the officials. Sheriff Lawrence
Ruddell of Independence county
yesterday siezed 24 quarts of al
cohol which had been consigned
to points in that county.
