SARSFIELD GUARDS FIREARM PARADE CASE TRAILED IN COURT
The Sarsfield Guards firearms case on St Patrick’s Day went before Superior Court Judge Sherman. Captain James A Murphy did not attend the call but his counsel and weapon were present. Prosecution evidence showed Murphy in blue with about 100 men on Hanover Street carrying a Springfield rifle that was blocked from firing. The defense contends the gun may not be a firearm under the 1893 statute and urged unconstitutionality, but the judge will decide if the weapon fits the statute based on the recorded facts. The matter resumes today.
