ΜΛΥ BE Λ TEST CASE
Whiskey Dranmer Arrested Ui«er La*
Jtssei by last legislature.
A test of the law passed by the last
legislature which makes It unlawful
for whiskey drummers to ply their
trade in local option districts may
be made from Ellis county at an early
day.
Tuesday afternoon C. J. Sedgwick,
representing a Kansas City whiskey
house, was arrested at Ennls on al
leged charges of violating this law.
It Is claimed that Sedgwick visited
Palmer Tuesday morning and began
taking orders for whiskey to be de
livered from Kansas City. The mat
ter was reported to County Attorney
Mark Smith who issued instructions
for the arrest of Sedgwick. Before
the order of the county attorney
could be executed Sedgwick is claim
ed to have taken his departure for
Ennis where he was apprehended
that afternoon. Sheriff Minrilck went
to Ennis yesterday forninm and
brought the alleged offender to this
city. Four complaints were filed
against him by County Attorney
Smith and others may follow when
the matter has been more thorough
ly investigated. Sedgwick admits
that he took a number of orders
and forwarded them to his house in
Kansas City, but contend* that he
was not violating any law. He claims
to be operating under the inter-state
commerce law which is not unier the
jurisdiction of the state courts.
So far as known the higher courts
of the state have not yet had an op
portunity to pass on the constitution
ality of the new law. County At
torney Smith proposes to make a test
cas»'· out of one of the complaints
against Sedgwick unless a case is
carried up from some other county
before the county court meets next
December.
After being in the custody of the
sheriff all day Sedgwick was releas
ed late yesterday afternoon under
bond in the sum of $250 In each of
the four cases against him.
The law enacted by the last legis
lature under which the arrest of
Sedgwick was made reads as follows:
That if any person In any county,
sub-division of county, justice pre
cinct, city or town, in this state, in
which the sale of intoxicating liquors
has been prohibited by law, shall so
licit or receive any order therein for
the sale or delivery of any intoxicat
ing liquor in such county, sub-divis
i«in of ι · i ! i ' 1 M-r il·»' {.!·-< jn< t. city
or town, he shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and shall be punish
ed by a fine of not less than $50 nor
more than $30". and by confinement
in the county Jail for any period not
less than 30 days nor more than 90

was "your citizens missed the fin

they dilly-dallied as they did and
delayed raising the money to bring

line he said, "part of the material

of the road hail been purchased and
everything was in readiness to build
the road quickly, but the dela> of
the citizens of Waxahachie in rais
ing the money required was the
cause of the abandonment of that
line altogether, and if it had been
built, at that time it surely would :
have missed Waxahachie several
miles." This official. with whom I
