Other sores came on my neck and on my

Finally was persuaded to do 80, and in

A case involving the unconsttution-

Of undertakers was tried in the Luzerne
court on Friday before Judge Halsey.
1t was that of r. p. Riley, Hazleton
detective, against j. NJ. Fierro, Halle
ton undertaken, who was charged with
conducting his business without IL
cense and contrary to the act OF assem-
bly, which holds that such undertakers
must register with the state board.
After the prosecutor had stated his
side of the case, the defendants attor-
ney asked that the indictment be
quashed, as the act was special legiSa-
tion and was unconstitutional. Judge
Halsey agreed that a verdict OF not
guilty should be rendered, which was
done
