Special Judge Frank E. Hutchinson upheld an Hamilton county liquor case ruling that the state cannot issue a saloon license and that the liquor license statute is unconstitutional. The decision follows prior similar rulings by Indiana judges and stems from a 1906 Sheridan case involving George B. Lanham and remonstrance disputes.
