District of Columbia Court of Appeals June 23, 1902, No. 1218 (Sinclair v. District of Columbia)

Mr. Justice Shepard

delivered the opinion of the Court:

Like No. 1219, recently decided [ante, p. 336], this case comes before us on a writ of error to the police court of the District, in which the plaintiff in error, Lindley E. Sinclair, was convicted of the violation, on February 11, 1902, of what is commonly called the “ smoke law,” enacted by Congress for the District of Columbia.
