Good Luck For the Bootleggers
The so-called "intent” prohibition
act of 1917 legislature which made
it a felony to maintain a place with
“Intent" tb violate the prohibitory
laws of the state was declared un-
constitutional by the criminal court
of appeals in reversing the convlc
tlon of Cecil Proctor under the pro-
visions of the act in the county court
of Oklahoma county
The opinion of the court written by
Judge C A Galbraith former su-
preme court commissioner who was
designated special judge for this par-
ticular case holds the “Intent” act
is contrary to the constitutional pro-
visions guaranteeing due process of
law and equal protection of the law
The law sought to make it an of
fense for a person to maintain a place
with the intention of violating the
prohibition law - even though they
were not actually caught In the act
The court disagrees with this feature
of it
"A guilty intention unconnected
with an overt act or outward mani-
festation cannot be made the sub-
ject of punishment under the law
says Judge Galbraith
There are about thirty convictions
now pending on appeal before the
higher court which are affected by
this ruling

Tm looking for mah arm” was the
reply of the first soldier
Then the-Inquisitive one observed

arm had been shot away “That there
arm ain’t going to do you any good
any more even if you do find It” the
Inquirer said
“It ain’t eh" retorted the wounded
man “It ain’t the arm I wants so
bad” he continued "but It’s the wrist
watch on it” And he renewed his
investigation
