New Mexico Court Strikes Volstead Based Prohibition
Santa Fe December 15 The New Mexico Supreme Court freed eight men convicted of prohibition offences after ruling the 1923 state law adopting the Volstead act provisions unconstitutional. The defect: it cites federal provisions by title only and omits full text. Justice Watson wrote the opinion with Parker and Bickley concurring. The ruling leaves New Mexico without a prohibition law though the 1919 bone dry statute remains, lacking teeth. Governor Hannett considers a new dry law in a special session to pass an airtight election measure.
