CONSTITUTIONALITY OF ALASKA
DONE DRY LAW NOT DEBATABLE,
DECLARES U. S. CIRCUIT COURT
The question of live v..lidity ol th3
Alaska Bene Dry Law is no longer <i
debatable one before the Lircujt
■Court of Appeals for the Ninth Dis
trict, sitting at San Francisco, accord
ing to late decisions render'd by
that body. T'his position was taken
in two case*, carried up fro.ri the
U. S. Distrfct (’ourt^froin this Divi
sion, opinions covering warh have
just been received here.
One of these cutes was the Harry
Mabry cases from Sitka and the oth
er the Jerry ’Simplon casts from Ket
chikan. In both ca-en the issue was
raised by thy appcllapti as to ! !i a |
constitutionality of the Alaska Uouo
Dry Law. The eas s were heard be
fore Judges Gilbert Rudkin and Wol
verton. the opinion - being read by
Judge Rudkin.
The decisions, filed May 2S, are]
identical in language end declare: j
••‘fhls was a prosecution under the I
Bone Dry Act cif Alaska A demurrer!
to the coni'plaint cr information was I
overruled, and after the jury was
empaneled the defendant objected to
further proceedings or to the intro
duction of any testimony in the case
for the followlife reasons: First, be
cause the complaint did not state
facts sufficient to constitute a crime;
second, because all evidence in the]
case was procured by an un.'-Jaaoii
able and illegal ^earch; third, be-j
cunse all evidence In the caa-. was I
obtained by officers of the United
States aifter they had gained ad-j
mission to the premises occupied by
the defendant under and by irtue
of an illegal search warrant- anJ,
fourth, because the Alaska Bone Dry
Act is unconstitutional and void. The
first and last grounds of objection
are covered by the demurrer. The
court overruled the-objoction and the
overruling of the demurrer and the
overruling of the objection to the in
troduction of testimony are the only
errors assigned. These assignments
are wthout substantial merit. The
validity of the Alaska Bone Dry Act
has ibeen twtlce affirmed by this
court ,and the question is no longer
ian open one h":e. Abbette v. United
| States, 270 Fed. 736; Kappitz v.
United States 273 Fed. 90. The court
[committed no error in refusing to
sustain a general objection to any
and all testimony upon the mere un
supported statement of counsel that
I the testimony was procured by illegal
I means, and linasmuch as no further
objection was interposed when the
testimony was actually offered and
received, there Is no question before
us for review.
"The judgment of the court below
is affirmed."
The Mabry case was handled in
the local court by Wickersh.un and
Kehoe and was argued by Judga
Wlckcrsham In San Francisco early
last spring. Tile Simpson case was
handled at Ketchikan by A. H. Zelg
ler and Judge Wickersham. The ap
peal was handled by John J- Sullivan
of Seattle. U. S. Attorney A. O.
Shoup appeared for the government
before ihe Circuit Court argutng both
cases.
