Prosecution Questioned Over Horse Meat Law Change
The question arose whether the state may prosecute horse meat regulation violations until the amended law takes effect June 16. Cases against Henry P. Stieg, Waldo E. Smart, and John Davis were dismissed after rulings that the old statute may be unconstitutional for lacking a penalty provision. County officials noted the 1949 prosecutions were halted pending appeal and that Phoenix enforces a local horse meat ordinance.
