A NOVEL POINT.
The Existence of Sunday Liquor Law Cues
toned in Court.

toned in Court.
This morning in Judge Millers court Messrs
Forrest and Padgett, counsel for Henry Al
schwee, the restaurant keeper who was charged
with violating the liquor law, raised novel
point, which proved one of great importance
to the District
Policeman Donovan Of the first precinct
gave evidence of having purchased a drink in
the place on Sunday. and upon crosse amina-
ton he said that when he went on the force he
took an oath not to drink, yet lie had taken
drinks on numerous occasions.
When Mr.. Dumont had finished his case for
the District counsel for Mr.. Alschwee claimed
that there was no law in the District against
the sale of liquor on Sunday, mold
ing that the law set out in Webb's
Digest was not authority. In their
argument they quoted the author in the
introduction of his digest. in which he saws:
MANY errors will be found to exist in this col
lection" Judge Miller commented on the
mixed condition of the District laws and asked
Mr.. Dumont if he could produce the original
manuscript. but that official said lie had no
knowledge of the existence of the manuscript,
as he had never had occasion to inquire into
the matter.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty and
counsel gave notice of a motion in arrest of
judgment The motion was based on excep-
tions taken during the trial, and the case will
probably reach the upper court, where the
question OF law will be finally determined.
