A LoophoIe In the Prohibitory Law.
In amending the prohibitory law
last year, the Legislature left hole,
through which thirty or more viola
ters of the law will escape punish
ment. The hole was discovered when
the case of the state against Caleb
lockwood was reached. The respon-
dent'slawyer moved TO quash the in
dictment on the ground that Rock
wood had been arrested under vio-
alton of the law of 1888, but that
the legislature of 1894 had passed
another law changing the penalty for
tnis offense, therefore the law of '88
was null and void. and the respon-
dent had committed no crime under
the law of "a. The court agreed
with Rockwood's counsel and the re-
spondent was discharged. States
Attorney Brown Immediately stated
that the next two cases of the state
against Robinson and David Regain
we're the same, and asked that the
Indictments be quashed. He will
make similar motions in many more
Ike cases as they are reached on the
d)cket. The decision will affect a
