Judge Samuel D. Littlepage. in circuit
court here today. decided that indict-
ments for offenses against the liquor
prohibition law, drawn in statutory
form, are invalid. The decision was

ing of this indictment" Judge Little
page held that part of the one year
designated included time in which sa-
looms were licensed in West Virginia.

sons imprisoned for violating the pro-
hibitory law unless the offense was
