WHEN THE ICE BROKE description of an old time spectacle

In Manchester last week two defendants Connie Dobbins and Clifton Elder were acquitted under the Byrd law prohibiting liquor sales to habitual drunkards. The jury found the law vague, as Chief of Police Lipcomb testified Stein had prior drunkenness but reform efforts had failed, and Ernest Welle argued the law does not define habitual drunkard.
