Before Judge Smith the case APP
pealed from the justice court Of
James Carney for violation of the
cigarette law passed by the last leg
islature was argued by Herbert e..
Hitchcock for the defendant and
Lauritz Miller for the city. Attorney
Hitchcock argued that the law relat-
ing to the manufacture Of cigarettes
could only be construed to mean the
rolling Of them for sale, and not for
ones personal use. This view was
view held by the court and Carney
was discharged. Only in Mitchell has
the rolling of cigarettes been held to
mean the violation of the law but
this decision of Judge Smiths will
probably mean no more prosecutions
Of this nature. This is the first time
this statute has been tested in any
court in the state.
