Lloyd Junkin of Moorhead, from whom Moorhead police and the state liquor commission seized $4,500 worth of liquor Aug. 26, 1934, had it back intact Wednesday.
Both state and local authorities failed during the last year to find statutes under which the confiscated goods could be retained, and also found themselves without laws under which Junkin and his business partner, A. A. (Chief) Barensen, now in the North Dakota penitentiary, could be prosecuted for allegedly operating a liquor wholesale business in Moorhead.
As a result Judge Carroll A. H. Nye granted a request to an order for the return of the liquor and it was surrendered by David R. Arundel, state liquor commissioner.
