1t is thought that Probate Judge
/ Smith will render his decision in the
habeas corpus case this week, which in
this court will decide the validity of
| the ordinance, under which DRINKS and
d~isorderlies are fined. 1t is under
stood that this ordinance complies In
every way as provided by the statutes
after it's passage, but was not published
| which publication is required by law
to make the ordinance valid. The
present case is the outcome of a young
man named Tilton, who was fined I'M
der this ordinance and refused to pay
| his fine or work on the streets to pay
same. After being In Jail for some
weeks, his attorney w. IT Dixon, asked
for a writ OF habeas corpus, and cited
the point that the ordinance had never
been published. City Solicitor Cooke
argued that the writ asked for was not
brought before the court under the
proper procedure, and argued from that
point. The people are a~nxiously
awaiting Tie decision.
