CHARLES POWELL
OPENS WAR UPON
NEW YDST Law
Contends That Justice Ex-
ceeded Powers in De-
handing Bond.
PROSECUTOR ANSWERED
Judge Raymond Expected
to Rule in the Case Late
This Afternoon.

The second legal battle in the Lewis
case was founght before Judge Hay
mond this morning by Attorney
Charles Powell, defending the negro,
who made an attempt to secure a re-
straining order preventing Justice
Musgrove from demanding a second
bond for good behavior previous to the
meeting Of the grand jury for which
Lewis was held. Prosecuting Attorney
Haggerty represented the county
SKID Lewis was arrested some time
ago on whiskey selling charge and
was given preliminary hearing be.
fore Justice Musgrove, who held him
for the grand jury and demanded, In
addition to the customary bond for his
appearance at that time, second bond
Of I'VE hundred dollars to guarantee
his not repeating the offense in the
meantime. Lewis furnished the bond
for his temperance, but failed to give
the second bond and was placed in
jail.
Charles Powell, who defended Lewis
in the case before the justice, declared
that the demand for second bond was
unconstitutional and brought suit be-
z fore Judge Raymond. In presenting
the case before the Judge this morning
Attorney Powell reviewed briefly the
West Virginia prohibition law with the
amendments recently enacted and
pointed out that whereas the law pro.
yfded for the demanding Of second
bond for good behavior by duly au'
thorized Judge of a circuit or interme'
date court upon the conviction Of the
party, that there was no provision for
"a justice demanding similar bond
upon examination of the defendant,
and that Justice MusgroYe in so doing
had exceeded his authority.
Prosecuting Attorney Haggerty in
his defense Of the action of the justice
dwelt upon and made much Of section
twenty-three Of the law which says in
Substance that the entire law is po'
lice regulation Of the state and is to be
literally construed as such for the pro
lection of the morals and welfare Of
the people Of the state, the word liber'
ally being frequently emphasized by
the prosecutor.
At press time the Judge had not an.
nounced his decision, but it will prob
slJly be given later this evening or in
.he morning. The practice of demand.
ing second bond in cases Of this kind
has become very common among the
local justices, who are awaiting the de.
ctsion in the case with great deal of
interest.
Another point which has been rails
ed by Attorney Charles Powell in this
CASE but which was not touched upon
In the argument this morning was in
regard to the phrase prohibiting the
bringing into the state Of more than
one quart of intoxicating liquor a
month for personal use, the natural
inference being that an unlimited
amount may be brought In providing 1t
Is not for personal use.
Powell has announced his intention
OF taking this case to the Supreme
court and making final test of the
pr0hibitory law.
