Justice Van Orsdel of the District Court of Appeals affirmed a lower ruling that it is not a crime to drive a dirt cart on Sunday in Washington. The Maryland 1724 statute forbidding Sunday work was deemed obsolete as Congress defines prohibited labor in the district. Charles Robinson’s arrest for Sabbath driving was thus dismissed and the case upheld on writ of error.
