Mayor and Common Council Gentlemen: We your com mlttea on Health and Police when was referred the petition from Pete Dourell asking a license to sell liquors. beg leave to report as follows: We find the saloon kept by Mr. Dourell is located in what is called Swllltown, and it is considered one of the dives of that locality. Would recommend that no li cense be granted the petitioner, and that like action be taken with Bimilar places on the expiration of their li censes. W. F. McGKEGOR. F. S. WEBBER, Committee on health and police. Then there was a deadlock for a while The defendant, who had paid lawyers to defend him, insisted on being tried, and In order to bring the matter to an Issue, contributed one dollar toward Mr. Curtis' fees of five dollars, and the balance was collected In sums of from twenty-five to fifty cents. Next came the question of assistance for the State's representative, and Judge Bowl by was called upon, but that gentleman declined, and Mr. Curtis secured the services of Mr. Spittle. After Mr. Noland stated to the Jury what the defense intended to show, the State opened by calling Sheriff Smith, He testified that the saloon of Harris & Wright was often on Sunday morning last from 12:15 until about 3 o'clock, Cross-examined by Mr. Thomson, the witness testified that he had not seen liquor sold by the defendant, but by a person whom he believed to be a bar- ki'oper In Mr. Harris' employ. The sheriff was asked If he saw a license to sell liquor hanging up in the saloonj and if so, did he know who Issued the license. The reply was that he saw no license. He had seen a license on other occasions, and it was one issued by the city. Mr. Thomson then askted witness If he (the sheriff) enforced the laws of the city. The answer was In the nega tive. Mr. A. W. Utzing'er was next called, and testified to having closed up his saloon on Saturday night about 11:30, and that about 12 o'clock or thereabouts he saw the sheriff take the defendant up the sti'oet from the latter's saloon. ConstableOberg testified to having been in the White House Corner on the morn lng of last Sunday. ' Saw Fred Norton sell liquor ovfcr the bar and receive pay ment. This closed the case for the state, ana tne defendant was called to tes tify in his own behalf, as follows:. Am defendant in this case, and hold a li cense under the city of Astoria; hold no license under either the county or stale. Both sides then lasted, and the State waiving the opening argument, Mr, xnomson opened for the defense. He referred to the recent decision In the gambling case, and to the decisions of Judge Stott and District Attorney Hume, as published in the columns of The Astorlan, and held that the city and State could not hold concurrent Jurisdiction In such cases. As t- the gambling case decided by Justice Cleve land, Mr. Thomson contended that when the legislature vested In the city council of Astoria the right to regulate, tax and restrain places where liquor is sold, th'i Sunday law was repealed by implication, and for that -reason the state or its Officers had no right to make arrests under a law which had not alone been repealed, but had bt'jn a dead letter on the statute books for nearly 40 years. "If thvj sheriff or any other officer," said the counsel "had the power to enforce, when he saw fit, a law which all knew to have befen a dead law since its passage, what a power an officer would have if he de sired to use It." After quoting numer ous authorities In support of his propo sition, offering the charter of the city of Astoria in evidence, and referring briefly to tiAs rights of the people as American citizens, Mr. Thomson closed. He was followed by his associate, Hon. George Noland, who made a brfcf, but logical and effective argument, in sup port of which he cited additional au thorities, and showed that it the de fendant could be proven guilty then STOVES all the saloon keepers in Astoria could be prosecuted seriatim for similar of fenses committed during the period, at least, of the counsel's residence in this city, or for nine years past.
