Maryland Club seeks gubernatorial nolle prosequi in liquor case
The Maryland Club has asked Gov. Warfield to issue a nolle prosequi for the liquor sale on Sunday case. The Court of Appeals ruled the matter must proceed in Baltimore City Criminal Court, with Attorney General Bryan advising the move. The club argues the suit is a test case and an early conviction would bar a liquor license next year. A separate brief notes a Pine Hall and Southern Railroad survey securing rights of way for a seven mile extension to Matehall Station.
