MOVE TO DISMISS CASES Attorneys for Liquor Dealers Advance Several Reasons to Court Attorneys Carson, Adams & Cannon, Holmes & Holmes, W. M. Kaiser and D. J. Tarpley, representing J. P. Rog ers and J. A. Cooper, tho two saloon men convicted of keeping their sa-. loons open on Sunday, havo filed a motion in each case with Justice Tur ner. The motion seeks to arrest Judg ment, and to dismi&s the actions. It is as follews: Now comes tho defendant in the above entitled criminal action, and moves the court to set aside tho ver dict of the Jury herein, and to arrest Judgment upon said, verdict, and to dismiss this action on the following grounds, tewit: First That the complaint herein does not state facts sufficient to con stitute a criminal action or any viola tion of any laws of tho state of Ore gon. Second That tho said complaint is not verified in the manner required by statute. Third That section 1974 of Bel linger's Annotated Codes and Statutes of Oregon, upon which this action is prosecuted, has been repealed. Fourth That that certain act of the legislative assembly of tho terrrltory of Oregon entitled "An act relating to tho granting of licenses to sell spirit uous liquors, and to tho licensing bil liard tables and ball alleys," passed the 8th day of January, 1854, is con trary to tho act of congresss establish ing the territorial government of Ore gon, passed August 14, 1848. Tho reasons advanced comprise the points relied upon by the defenco to secure a reversal of tho cases in the higher courts. The contention that tho section of tho codo under which the defendants were arrested has been repenled, will bo urged' very strenuously. Several attorneys who are not at all interested in tho cases said that it was not at all surprising to them, for the obsolete section to be included In tne Bellinger & Cotton compilation, for the vory first paragraph of tho book con tained a serious mistake in the United States constitution, and a number of other errors had) been discovered from time to time. 111118 Code, the previ ous compilation of the Oregon laws, also contained errors, and in fact al most every code la subject to more or less inaccuracy.
