Drastic Liquor Traffic Statutes Framed in Indiana
Indianapolis March 1 The Wright bone dry bill, now passed by the state legislature, makes the purchaser of intoxicating liquor equally guilty with bootleggers and treats possession as a crime. The act tightens penalties, defines liquor broadly including gin and lemon extract, and imposes mandatory prison terms for violations. Public intoxication penalties rise, second DUI becomes a felony, and forfeiture of liquor and related property is provided. The measure also enables impeachment of officials failing to enforce the law and allows the attorney general to assume prosecution duties when needed.
