BLOW AT BLUE LAWS.
Glen Echo EmpIoye Granted Trial
by Jury.

Glen Echo Employe Granted Trial
by Jury.
Maryland's blue laws received a hard
blow yesterday, when Police Justice
Mace, Of Rockville, granted a jury trial
in the case of Leroy Hill, one of the
four employees of Glen Echo Park who
were arrested two weeks ago on a
charge of working on Sunday.
The case was first called. His attor-
ney, John A. Garrett, Immediately
moved that he be given a jury trial.
This was granted, whereupon the prose-
cutting attorney, Outerbridge W. Spates,
entered a plea that the remaining cases
be taken from the Jurisdiction of the
Police Court and brought for trial be-
fore Justice of the Peace Carey King
don.
The cases probably will be called be-
fore him within ten days. Counsel for
the defense will issue a writ of certiora-
ri to Justice OF the Peace Kingdom, de-
manding that he send to the Court of
Appeals for an adjudication as to wheth-
er the defendants should be given a
jury trial.
Manager Schloss, of Glen Echo, and
Attorney Garrett are elated over their
success in obtaining a jury trial in the
case of Leroy Hill. 1t is pointed out
that the requirements of the blue laws
can never be enforced unless the Pplice
Court Is given jurisdiction of such cases.
