APPELLATE COURT
HAS LARGEST OF
CRIMINAL DOCKETS
Fall Term of Kentucky Court of Ap
peals Opens September 18 With 111
Crlmiuitl and 817 Civil Appeals
For Hearing.
The Court ot Appeals will open its
fall term on Monduy, September 18th
with Uie largest criminal docket in its
hiBtory. There are 111 criminal ap
peals; most of them growing out of
the prohibition act passed by the last
Legislature and involving every phase
of the act from the light to give away
a drink, which Is a criminal offense
under tho act, to the right of freedom
from search and seizure.
The civil docket consists of 357 ap
peals, in which the usual run of legal
questions are involved. Among these
are the cases of Orle S. Ware, Com
monwealth's Attorney, Kenton County,
vs. Spcrry and Hutchinson Company
and Thos. M. King vs Commonwealth,
from Jefferson county, which will be
of general Interest. The purpose of the
Ware vs. Spcrry und Hutchinson case
Is to test the legality of the Anti-Trad
ing Stamp Act which passed the last
Legislature after a very bitter and
hotly contested fight in which a large
lobby was very active and it is ru
morcd, much money Similar acts mak
Ing the issuing of trading stamps 11
legal have been declared unconstitu
tlonal In several other states. The in
tent of the King vs. Commonwealth
case Is to test the constltutlonllty of
the Blue Sky Law und to get a ruling
as to whether or not It applies to com
mon law trusts in the event It is held
to be constitutional.
A suit to test the constitutionality of
tho Simmons-Strange Road Act, which
was Introduced to kill the original
$50,000,000 road bond project spon
sored by the Republican administra
tlon, will soon bo filed in either the
Franklin or the Jecffrson circuit court
and the appeal will probably be filed
In tho Court of Appeals sometime dur
ing the fall term. The measure passed
on a strict party vote, 19 to 17, with
the Democrats supporting nnd the Re
publicans opposing It,
It the, anti-trading stamp act and the
Simmons-Strange road act are declar
ed unconstitutional all the major acts
of the last Legislature will havo been
thrown out it generally takes the
courts about a year to straighten out
legislative tangles and blunders. Re
gardless of the decision of the courts
the road bond question will probably
bo the main issue In the next Guberna
torlal campaign, with the Republican
nominee supporting the original $50,
000,000 road bond project and tho
Democratic nominee backing up the
stand of the Democratic Legislature In
killing the road building project.
Roy B. Spoct, Clerk of the Court of
Appeals has given to the State Printer
the copy for the Fall Term dockets and
they should be In the hands of the law
years within a few days.
The following cases were appealed
from this county:
Edgars vs. Commonwealth.
The Sachs Shoe Co., vs. Maysville
Suit and Dry Goods Co.
Cracraft, etc., vs McDanlel.
Weedon, etc., vs. Power, admrx, etc.
