boxes, cigarette and tobacco packages,
J. r. McPike, manager of the cigar de-
partment of wholesale grocery store,
submitted to arrest and was brought be-
fore Judge Blanchard of the supreme
court on writ of habeas corpus sued out
by his counsel. The warrant on which
he was arrested charged him with having
exposed for sale and sold two boxes of
cigars containing advertising matter on
which the flag appeared. Counsel for
Mr.. Pike maintained the law was uncon-
stitutional, as it deprived the citizen of
his liberty >of employment and occupa-
tion in carrying on his business on legiti-
mate methods. He also contended that
the act interfered with the federal law as
to trademarks and was destructive of
property; and further that it was uncon-
stitutional, as it interfered with the COM
merce of other states. Any question in
volving the use of the American flag,
either for advertising or other purposes,
he also held, was not subject for the
action of the legislature of New York or
any other state, but solely within the
purview of congress, as it was matter
of federal sovereignty and not state SOW
ereignty.
Judge Blanchard said that in order to
allow speedy appeal and an early deci-
sion on the matter. he would parole Mr.
McPike until Friday, when he will enter
a pro forma order dismissing the writ,
thus uphclding the constitutionality of
the act. Mr.. McPike's counsel said that
the appeal would be taken as soon as
Justice Blanchard's order was signed.
The penalty prescribed by the law is
fine of 500 or imprisonment for 80 days,
or both fine and Imprisonment.

gun and revolvers. Just before killing
his father-in-law he purchased SO
rounds of cartridges for the gun.
Hoffman is an unerring marksman,
strong, athletic, and, the officers be-
lieve, driven to recknessness by whisky
and his imaginary troubles. Before he
murdered Brandt he told Henry Papes:
I'm one hour there will be warrant
out for me. But look out. will shoot
you or Tom Ruch or anybody else who
tries to arrest me-" Hoffman's wife
says that as he left he declared: Il
must kill two more people, then my
self. II the sheriff or his deputies try
to arrest me, must also kill them"
Sheriff Ruch thinks Hoffman is hid
ing in the woods near his home at Rock
Cliffs. He and his deputies are heavily
armed and prepared to shoot the fugi-
tive at sight. This entire section of
Monroe county is terrorized, as the f,l-
gitive is regarded as desperate. 1t is

sons he intended to kill, and both men

for killing his father-in-law was that

weekly allowance. DR.. Brandt was
quite wealthy and has been practically
supporting his son-in-law and family.
He gave Hoffman a certain amount of
spending money each week.
