CUSTER CITY. SOUTH DAKOTA SATURDAY.
IMPORTANT LAW DECISION.
Prosecution of Bank Officers Stopped
by Judge Rice; Law is Un-
constitutional.

An important and far reaching de-
cision was rendered by Judge w. g.
Rice last week in the cases wherein cer-
tain officials of the Meade county bank
were under indictment charged with
violating Of the South Dakota banking
laws. The criminal provision of the
law under which the bankers were in
dictsd were held to be unconstitutional
and void. The question was raised upon
demurrers to the indictment and the
court sustained three demurrers and
held the other twenty-ssven dsmurrers
under advisement until the supreme
court has an opportunity to pass upon
the constitutionality Of the law.
The court in passing upon the indict-
ments held that they were sufficient in
form, but owing to the fact that the
legislature had injected into a civil law
criminal provisions with felony penal
ties in the title that the law would not
stand the constitutional test.
Under this decision the criminal pro.
visions of the banking law of this state
are abrogated and there is now no GRIM
inal liability attached to the violations
of the banking act. The decision is of
much importance and will be taken by
the state to the supreme court at once.
The bank is now in the hands of the
state bank examiner undergoing liqui-
datiop.
