MAKE NEW TEST OF
 PROHIBITION LAWS
Point Will Be Raised Before Judge Abernethy of Common Pleas
 Court This Morning

A test case which will come up in the second division of the common pleas court this morning at 10 o'clock before Judge Fl. B. Abernethy, is arousing great deal of interest The question to be decided is whether the Smith bill became effective in Jeffersop county as soon as the result of the recent local option election became known, or the Fuller Carmichael bills remain in force until licenses are granted by the eX- else commission.
 The defendants in the case are off cers Daly and Goldstein, who are be- ing sued for the conversion, of one cask of beer which they seized on one of their recent raids of places suspected of violating the prohibition laws, The contention of the prosecution, who are represented by Attorneys Davis & Sep salon, is that the Fuller Carmichael bill was no longer law after Jefferson county voted wet in the recent cleo tion, but that the instant the result was determined the law became in- operative, and that, therefore, the seiz- ure of the liquor was illegal, and the officers are answerabie ii damages to it's owners. The contention of the de- fense is that the Smith bill does not become law until the excise commits sion has been appointed by the gov ernor, and that they were acting with
 in the law in making the seizure.

ONE NEW FACT IN
 EMERSON DEATH Her Father Brought Milk Into House Precluding
 Suicide Theory

There was but one development yes terday in the case of the mysterious poisoning of Miss Mary Emerson early Saturday morning. The fact was brought out that instead of Miss Elm erson going out to the fence and get ting the milk which contained the poi son, her father went tc the fence. This discredits the suicide theory, because had Miss Emerson herself put the car boic acid in the milk it would have been necessary for her To do it Fri day night, as the milk remained on the fence all night. She prepared the milk in the presence of the family and did not put anything in the milk then.
 The officers working on the case are completely mystifed. They were in consultation with Miss Emerson's father and members of the family all yesterday morning, but stated last night that as yet they had nothing to give out for publication. The detec- tives are spending practically all their time on the case and hope 10 unearth something which may throw light on q possible motive for murder.
 An additional fact which points to murder is that no bottle or phial of any description has been found on the premises although thorough search has been made. Members of Miss Elm that she was murdered and did not commit suicide.
 Coroner Brasher is awaiting the de- clsion of the officers as to whether Miss Emerson committed suicide or was murdered.
