BUFFINGTON, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I concur in the conclusion reached by the court. The statute of New Jersey is clear and unambiguous; it calls for no construction. But the question is as to the enforcement of a law passed by a sovereign state in a matter of which it has jurisdiction. The wording of the statute is applicable to the facts of the present case. In the absence of any decision by the court of highest resort of New Jersey holding the act unconstitutional and inapplicable, I am of opinion that this court is free to apply the statute to the facts of this case. I therefore concur in the conclusion reached.
