HABEss CoRPUs CAsE-The case Of All
Lung. on habeas corpus, heretofore taken
under adyissrnent by Judge benson, was yes
terday morning reopsned By tue Court. TO in
ouire into tbs validity Of the Judgment, as well
"a 20 theconatitutionality Of Ordinance No 81,
prohibiting the carrying of concealed. deadly
and dangerous weapons. The petitioner
counsel were !. W. Armstrong, Adam Beatty
and r. NJ. Clarken. The respondent was
represented by w. a. Anderson, City At
torney. After the introduction of evidence
and argument of the case, the Court pro.
ceeded 70 review the questions of law argued,
and held that there could be 10 question as TO
the power OF the Board CT City Trustees to
pass Ordinance No. 81, prohibiting the carry.
ing of concealed weapons. under the general
police power Of the municipality. But with
regard to the exceptions in the ordinance
named, it was not so clear but while those
executions were unconstitutional and void,
the exception of "publc officers" was too
general. and the words 'psace officer would
have been better As Go the power Of the
Board TO grant permits TO Garry concealed
weapons, there was considerable doubt but,
inasmueh as those exceptions could all be
considered unconstitutional and could be
eliminated from the ordinance without de-
stroying its effect, the ordinance must be held
valid. As to the Judgment of the Court
below, it seemed that the clerk made clerical
error, and, before the Judgment was argued,
corrected it; therefore it was good. The
petition was denied and the prisoner remanded
TO the custody Of the Chief of Police, to serve
out his sentence, or pay the fine imposed.
