Unconstitutional Law Cuts Powers of County Attorney
Two eminent judges in the state rule key provisions of the new prohibitory law unconstitutional. Judge Crotton freed a prisoner in Leavenworth County who refused to testify about a drug firm selling liquor illegally. Judge Foster released Henry Mann Zinoto of Atchison County who would not reveal where he bought certain liquors. The rulings, delivered within days of each other, undermine the law’s grant of inquisitorial authority to the County Attorney.
