AcQUIT JEWISH MERCHANTS.
Suits Against Sixty Three Des Moines
Residents Dismissed.

Des Moines, May 26.-Sixty- three
Jewish merchants Of Des Moines, who
kept their stores open Sunday. after
observing Saturday as their Sabbath,
were found not guilty of violating the
Iowa Sunday blue law by Judge Meyer
today. 1t was found that the defend
ants conscienclously had observed
their Sabbath.
It had been contended by the prose-
cution that the defendants had sacrl-
feed their privilege to exemption by
plying their trades on Saturday night.
The contention Of the state was that
the merchants should under such ex-
emption be obliged to keep their
places of business closed from Sat
urday sundown to midnight. The Jews
claimed their Sabbath was from Fri
day sundown to Saturday sundown.
