In a brief prepared by Ortell's
attorney. John Daugherty, Peoria.
on the legal aspect Of the case, The
attorney holds that mere possess
sion of liquor, even il obviously for
sale, is no offense under the pro-
visions of the 18th amendment to
the constitution.
Justice Kelly, however, in finlins
Ortell guilty and imposing the fine,
stated that a court Of preliminary
jurisdiction such as his own is not
in position to pass upon the con-
stitutionality of laws. and that that
question must be tested in higher
court.
Ortell's attorney did not appear
in person. His stand was clearly
indicated in the brief, however
which urged that the law cannot
hold the defendant guilty of an Of
tense unless he actually transports
manufactures or sells liquor. These
three operations are the only ones

amendment, and Daugherty's stand
point is that the possession" rul.
