Arizona Attorney General Seeks Prohibition Expansion
Phoenix March 2 The Arizona attorney general presses to ban all suggestion of booze, claiming it could soon be illegal to think of alcohol. The 1917 How Dry law makes manufacturing intoxicating liquor a high misdemeanor, and a separate statute treats attempts to commit a crime as crimes themselves. A supreme court appeal follows a Pinal county ruling in Crawford and Nelson case after a demurrer sided with the defense.
