Des Moines, April $. - A comma, in
stead of a senlicolon, caused the Re-
tail Grocers' Association to win the
suit brought by w. I. Wood for $1O,-
600 damages for malicious prosecution.
The interpretation placed on the law by
Judge A. H. McNey, is that matters of
necessity and charity do not apply to
the buying and selling of goods on
Sunday according to the reading of the
statute.
The law says that anyone found
guilty of carrying firearms, hunting,
shooting, dancing, buying or selling
goods. or engaged in any labor except
thru necessity or charity" can be pun
ished. 1t was held by the court that
If a semi-colon had been placed after
the word goods" the matter of me-
cessity or charity might have applied
to selling goods but with the comma
there the enumeration of the offences
are all equal.
