out a writ o. habeas corpus and certiorari
and the machinery will be in operation
for the determination whether the law is
constitutional or not
"It is reasonable to assume said Mr.

first instance will uphold the constitu-
tionality of the law The supreme court
will probably remand the relate and he
will be paroled on his own recognizance
"Then an appeal will be taken TO the
appellate division. When that is done
will ask the governor to assign the at
torney general to the case.
"As the law Is for the protection OF the
revenues OF the state. | think II becomes
the duty OF the attorney general 10 ap-
pear. This proceeding is taken because
