Slack, with keeping the bar of the association open on Sun- day, Mr. Simon Wolf and Charles Walter, jr., ap- peared for the defendant, and Mr. Padgett ap- peared for the District. Ofticer Slack testified that on Sunday evening he saw the barroom in the Scheutzen grounds open, and saw several persons in the saloon, Officer Fifield gave similar testimony.

Mr. Wolf sald that 14 years ago when an officer attempted to enter their promises he was dis- | missed from the force on the strength of an opin. jon rendered by Attorney General Williams.

Mr. Padgett sald he did not see how a corpora- tion could be permitted to do what an individual is | not permitted to do. | The judge stated that Come od had been made | to dispose of liquor on Sunday by the formation of clubs and the issuing of tickets of admission. In such cases the court bad held that the law had been violated, and would have to hold so in tis case. ‘The court gave Papment against the de. fendant in the sum ‘$10, from which counse) ‘took an appeal. es Pocketbook Snatching.
