IS Writ of Review, Secured by Jack LaBine, bus- . .tained by Knowles DEFENDANT TO BE SENTENCED AGAIN Rnlinn- AVill Merely De lay Final Decision upon Law Points Involved, City Attorney Says. COURT RULE In the case of Jack Iji Bine, ar rested by tin city police on a liquor charge and fined and sentenced by Judge J. IX Klater, of the munic court, Judge J. W. Knowles. of thy circuit court, has held that the judgment was in fault. In oth er words, the $19 and nine day sentence is passe. Judge Knowles sustained the writ of review secured by ia Bine from Circuit Judge McCulloch some time ago "on the grounds and for the reason that the municipal Judge exceeded his jurisdiction In impos ing a fine or 19, when by a pro vision of the ordinance, No. 941, Series 1 :i 22. tin1 lowest fine that could be imposed is 5." The judgment of sentence as made by Judge Slater, was there tore sf i aside mid the municlpul court directed to proceed and puss emen.ee oi the defendant as pro vided by the ordinance governing the case, according - to Judge Knowles decision. City Wins Pointy. All other tiueaiions raided by the review were decided favorably to the eity and it only now becomes necej-suiy tor Judgu Slater to call th' defendant before him and pass a new nenteiicn upon him. 1 This, however, will not take phuco '-ufoj;Jf Xm.Jiu,u&.sevw4.1 mailers pertaining to the court order can nut be completed immediately. According to the city at tor ney the effi et ol Judge Knowles' ruling is merely n delay to final decision upon the many law points-brought out.
