The mayor made himself clear
that he believed that the prosecu-

er than add to the already press

However, IN announcing that fut-

action provOkes a break in the good

The mayor declared himself as

POWELL CONTEST
OF LIQUOR LAWS
DRAWS INTEREST
Gilmer to Raise Points In Eff
fort TO Declare Statute
is Illegal.

The very heart of the Indiana
prohibition law. the one on which
the greatest number Of prosecutions
have been filed and convictions OBJ
tanned, is TO be attacked in the
Louis Powell case. a review Of
which will come before the super
Tor court No. Friday afternoon, ac-
cording TO Frank Gilmer.
The constitutionaHty OF the law
viii be attacked said Gilmer. in
pointing out that the law is defec-
tive under the Indiana constitution.
The act OF 1921, amendatory to one
of 1917, specifies that & is unlawful
TO even possess liquor in any guam
tity. In the titles to both acts, he
says. nothing is said with reference
to possession.
Subject Matter Missing.
According 10 Gilmer. this omis-
sion is a flaw Under the Indiana
/ constitution the subject matter Of
an act must be set out in the title
to make the act good. In these two
statutes the subject matter is en-
bodied In the act but is not found
in the titles, he says.
1t is under the state law that the
majority Of liquor law offenders
have been convicted, and the rails
ing Of this constitutional point will
be watched with interest.
In the Powell case the defendant
was fined 800 and given a 90-day
/ Jail sentence. Gilmer has filed q
motion for a venire de novo on the
ground that the affidavit was faulty.
/ This he says. is applicable to this
] particular case and its presentation
] likewise represents a most interest
! ing technical point.
The statute under which Powell
was convicted was approved June
/. 1921 The affidavit. however.
reads that he had liquor in his pos
/ session on the blank day of blank,
! 1921, and does not specify whether
| &c was before or after June l. Nj.
/ Gilmer will argue that the affidavit
! therefore is faulty although the
! evidence showed he had the LIQUOR.
a pint and half OF whisky, on Aug.
! l, and, according TO the evidence,
was liable under the 1921 acts.
Another Technically?
Still another technicality TO be
1 raised in the case is the form Of the
! verdict The second count aEains,
/ Powell was dismissed under instruc-
ton from the court. that of receiving
from a common carrier. When the
jury returned it's verdict It read,
We, the jury. find the defendant
guilty as charged IN the Indictment"
etc.
The defendants counsel will argue
that the verdict should have read.
We, the jury find the defendant
guilty as charged in the first count
OF the Indictment" as it was un-
known whether the jury found him
guilty on both charges or Just the
one. even though the second had
been dropped.

This is accomplished during the winter.
Hence it is frequently observed in the

In summer when the temperature Is
near 100 degrees the air rushes out at
the entrance to the cave with such
force as frequently to extinguish Lam
