The trial opened at 4 p. M, Andrew
Hickman being the first OF the uuin-
tette arraigned. Attorney John O.

ants. entered a plea OF not guilty.
The warrant accused Hickman OF
~"Laboring on Sunday in violation OF
the state laws. and when Assistant

his testimony no defense was offered.
Court Had Jurisdiction.
Attorney Pendleton asked that the
defendants be bound over TO the grand
jury. declaring that Justice Hobbs
had no Jurisdiction in the case other
than TO conduct a preliminary hear
ing. but Assistant Prosecutor Mauty
~contended that the court did have
authority to try the case and asked
that the defendant be fined. Justice
Hobbs then imposed a fine Of $40 and
bond for an appeal I the criminal
court with John Papulias. proprietor
or the Lyric. as surety, was immedi-
ately filed.
Mr.. Pendleton then decided to waive
the formality of n hearing in the
cases against the other four men and
it was mutually agreed tina a state
ment OF facts should be presented TO
the criminal court and all the cases
appealed.
Had Mr.. Pend,eton succeeded in
having the defendants bound over to
the grand jury it is probable that the
picture shows would have continued

terday's decision of Justice Hobbs. the
~proprietors n employees of the play
houses will be throwing themselves
open TO arrest and fine for each and
every Sunday they open their places
