Supreme Court Upholds Day Law In Nebraska Prohibition
The Nebraska Supreme Court affirms a prohibition law provision on possession of intoxicating liquor with Justices Morrissey and the majority upholding the measure. Dissenting Justice Sedgewick argues the ruling undermines the purpose of eliminating saloons and drunkenness and would hamper medicinal use provisions. The case involves Paul B. Fritch, an Omaha druggist, seized whiskey the day after enforcement began.
