The claim made that II is not in the
province Of the police to root out this
evil. because the city council has
failed to pass an ordinance defining
the offense. is nothing but a fiimsy
subterfuge. The prohibition law is an
organic statute. the same as the law

There Is no city ordinance defining

The incongruity OF the verdict in

nuences that were brought 10 bear on
the jury come out. In the first place.
none of the essential facts going 20

the only question up to the sym.

the murderer and excuse ourselves.
Two alien experts testified. one for
the prosecution and one for the de-
Tense. and the jury decided TO believe
the prisoners expert witness. who set
up one of the most peculiar theories
yet attempted TO excuse crime
This resourceful witness explained
that the prisoner was moved TO mur.

state" induced by heavy drinking and
anger. and that therefore he was not
responsible for his acts. The twilight

is the matter with the minds of all
