ANT|-LAW
CRUSADE
The Liquor Laws
Alleged to Be
Obsolete.

decision of the demurrers to the indict-
ments against f. NJ. Jones, for the
murder of Mrs. Parmenter and of Mrs
Jones, was forestalled yesterday morn
ing by Attorney General Andrews with
the entering of nolle prosequi in each
case.
Immediately on Judge Gears releas-
ing the prisoner under these proceed
ings already stated, the Attorney Gen.
eral presented two new indictments
just returned by the grand jury. Mr..
Dunno objected to the arraignment of
Jones under the new papers, on the
ground that the grand jury was not
properly constituted with F. ]. Church
as substitute for Samuel Parker as
foreman. The objection was overruled,
and the defendant allowed to reserve
his pleas until Monday.
MORE LAWS ATTACKED.
Judge Gear has been given the re-
Sponsibility of passing upon another
set of laws whose validity has been
attacked. These are the laws provid-
ing for the regulation and control Of
the liquor traffic.
On behalf of Manuel Silva, charged
with selling liquor without a license,
j. NJ. Vivas has moved to quash the
complaint on the ground that the Or
ganic Act requires new legislation on
the subject by the Territorial Legisla-
ture, thus by implication repeating the
old liquor laws.
The ruling of the court was reserved
for a week.

Former Attorney General E. p. Dole
and the defendant were among the
witnesses in the Axtell- Hendrick dam
