FIGHT LAW
Is HELD DEFECTIVE

TILLAMOOK. Ore, April 16.-Be-
cause the legislature failed specifical-
ly to define what "prize-fight" real
" is, Judge Webster Holmes decided
that the anti-prizefight law of Oregon
is defective, and County Attorney Ger
soni was forced to move the dismissal
of four prizefight indictments return
ed by a recent grand jury.
Roy Sailing. Adolphh Ritcher,
Charles Sailing and James A. White
were indicted for "aiding and abet-
ting" prizefight at Cloverdale on
April Z last. The cases of Roy sal
ing and Ritcher came up on demur-
rers filed by their counsel, Attorney
Johnston. The court sustained the
demurrer, the effect of which ruling
was to bar the introduction of any
evidence by the prosecution and the
cases were ordered to trial. This de-
cision so nonplussed County ATTORNEY
Gersoni that he moved to dismiss all
four cases, which was done.
