Issue
Decision
And if A. enters the department store of John Wanamaker’s or of Macy’s and finds them selling books on December 1st, he would be justified in making an affidavit two or three weeks later that both of those stores then had books on their premises. In the same way, if A. enters a night resort and buys liquor and finds there persons who show plainly that they are under the influence of liquor, and the appearances all indicate that it is the business of that place to dispense liquor just as it is of Wanamaker’s or Macy’s to sell books, he is justified in being positive three weeks later that liquor is on the premises.
I think the order should be affirmed.
