keeping liquor for sale, came up in

Attorney Andrade who appeared
for the defense, demurred to the
charge on the ground that the com

to constitute a legal cause of action,
and that it is uncertain, indefinite and
unintellgible.
The demurrer has been taken under
consideration by Judge Monsarrat.
Andrade stated that if the demurrer
were overruled he would ask the pros
ecution to furnish a bill of particu-

Prosecuting Officer Brown said that
the prosecution would not furnish any
