NICHOLAS IS FINED
CHARGED WITH SELLING FRESH
WATER FISH.
Question of the ConstitutionaIity of
Wallace Law Was Not Brought
Up I'm the Mobile In
feriOr Court.

Mobile, May Especial. George
Nicholas, a white man who runs a
restaurant in the southern part of the
city, was arraigned before Judge
Clarke today on the charge of selling
fresh water fish out of season and a
me of $50 was imposed.
The charge in this case is the same
as that on which the Mobile Fish and
oyster Company was arraigned in the
inferior Court several days ago, when
Judge Afford dismissed the case
against the company on the ground
that the law making 1t an offense to
sell fresh water fish during spawning
season Is unconstitutional
Nicholas was arrested yesterday by
police officer on a warrant sworn
out by Game Warden Gill, who found
over twenty pounds of fresh water fish
in Nicholas's place of business.
Judge Clarke, In speaking of the case
after the trial, said that the Tact that
he imposed fine on Nicholas does not
go to prove that he differs with Judge
law regarding the sale of fresh water
fish is unconstitutional. as there was
no question raised in court this morn
ing as to whether or not the law was
constitutional and he did not deem 1t
his duty to pass upon this point Unless
1t were raised by the defense
Nicholas declined to pay The fine,
stating that he would secure an at
torney for the purpose of the testing
of the constitutionality of the law.
