Warrant used by Warner 13 now accepted
Morgantown W Va Nov 2 A defective search and seizure warrant used by Alva Warner in the February 19 1924 killing of Cassville storekeeper and postmaster Ciallella was tentatively admitted as a paper item by Judge Lazelle in Warner's murder trial. The defense failed to admit the warrant as a proper search document and was limited to its status as a paper item. The state argues Warner and six companions formed a conspiratorial group called regulators and that Ciallella’s death resulted from the plot.
