DRUNK EIGHT YEARS
Defendant Broke Down hen-
tally Under Strain Imposed by
Daughters Confession.

Houston, Va, June 29.-At the open
of court today in the trial of former
Judge Loving for murder, arguments
of the attorneys were continued. When
former State Senator Barksdale arose
TO speak for the defense every avail
able seat in the court room was occu-
pied.
On Drunk Eight Years.
Parksdaie said in part: 81 know there
is suspicion about the plea of insani-
ty, but the court has directed you not
to look at it with that view.
1.-The evidence in this case is, the
defendant was ON a continuous drunk
for eight years, and his brain has been
so impaired it suddenly gave way un-
der the great stress.
Appealed On Unwritten Law.
mo wonder the light of reason flei
from his mind. We are appealing to
you on the 'unwritten law but law
that is written on your hearts and on
the hearts of your forefathers." The
plea of Barkesdale was based almost
entirely on the preservation OF the
sanctity of the home.
Argument is Begun.
| Houston. Va, June 2S.-The argu-
ment of the attorneys in the trial of
| former Judge William G.. Loving for
the murder of Theodore Estes was be-
gun late yesterday afternoon after a
day spent by the attorneys for both
sides in the preparation of instruc-
| tions and4a legal wrangle over them
before the court. The instructions as
read by Judge Barksdale discussed
murder, its various degrees, the ques-
tion of reasonable doubt, the time al
lowed for a mans angry passions to
subside, and especially insanity.
/ Prosecution's Charge Stricken Out.
The following instructions prepared
by the prosecution touching on the
'unwritten law" were stricken out By
the court:
NO man under the protection of the
law mas right to be the avenger of his
own wrongs; if they be of nature for
which the laws of society give him an
adequate remedy thither should he re
Sort but be they of any nature what
soever he has no right to avenge them

KNOCKS Law OUT
Judge Chytraus Decides Act
Prohibiting Sale of Cigarets
Unconstitutional.
REQUIRES BUT FIVE HOURS
Finds Provisions are Broader Than
Title and Word Incorrectly De-
fined-Appeal Taken.

Chicago, June 29-About the quickest
legal finish ever accorded a legislative
enactment in Illinois was given the
anti-cigaret law yesterday Two days
before it becomes effective Judge
Chytraus has declared unconstitutional
that part of it which sought to prohibit
the manufacture and sale-of cigarets.
This quickly terminated bit of leg
islation had 'stinSer' put in it in the
house of representatives on May 8 and
the tobacco interests did not discor
or it had been put there. The bill was
passed on May II, suit attacking i
was started on June %, the hearing
was started yesterday. and five hour
later the decision holding the act un
constitutional was given.
A writ of mandamus was issued thi,
morning ordering City Collector Mas
erstadt to issue a cigaret license to Il
NJ. Berlizheimer, a tobacco dealer i.
| the Stock Exchange building.
| Judge Shows Laws Defects.
| In his decision Judge Chytraus said
| The law is unconstitutional becaus
the word 'cigaret'. according TO lega
decisions and the photographers
means when used without qualification
a cigaret made of tobacco. The ac
in its title purports 10 be an act :.
I'regulate' the manufacture, use, sale
and giving away of 'cigarcts,' and tn
first section provides that no one shal
| be permitted to manufacture, sell. q
give away any cigarets containing tc
| bacco.
Hence there is an inconsistency i
the conflict between the title and tn
act itself and under the constitution n
act can be broader than its rule A
prohibition is broader than regulation
SO the act is broader than its title.
1T was passed under pretense, as it
title indicates, that it was an act ,
regulate while in fact it is an act I
prohibit. Such deception in the It'll
renders the act unconstitutional"
. Appeal TO he Taken.
The city prayed an appeal, and th
, case will be taken to the supren
