Decision Expected On Dry Law Test Case
Announcement last night says United States District Judge Chatfield will render a decision on the dry law test use heard Saturday in a few days. If the decision goes against liquor dealers, Assistant United States District Attorney George K. Cohen says District Attorney John Crosby may seek penalties. Each sale of liquor could be a separate violation with possible fines up to 1000 dollars or one year in jail or both. The wartime prohibition law is sparsely violated, with narcotics violation as the nearest example.
