Court Overrules Defense Motions in Taylor Liquor Case
In a Taylor liquor case Judge D J Boies overruled defense motions and exceptions. The ruling allows nearly a wagonload of exhibits to be shown to the jury.

The court did not instruct that certain items be considered prime facie evidence of intent to violate liquor laws. Evidence included a truck on Grant highway east of Waterloo with 19 gallons of hooch and a car with nine gallons found beside police on the highway, with Taylor seen near the truck.
