J. F. Grierson, produced evid- ence that five cases of beer and three bottles of whiskey had been found in Spellman's room in the Druz home and that, in consequ- ence of Druz's convictions as stated, the defendant was guilty of having liguor in an unlawful place, D. A. J. Swanson, defence coun- sel, sought to show that Spellman had a domicile in the Druz home for which he paid rent and that this room was his private residence under the act.
