Supreme Court of Arkansas May 29, 1922 (Crosby v. State)

Wood, J.

1. Appellant was indicted for the crime of selling and being interested in the sale of intoxicating liquors. He demurred to the indictment on the ground that the court was without jurisdiction because the 18th amendment to the Federal Constitution and the Federal statute (Volstead act) superseded the State law under which appellant was indicted. The court overruled the demurrer.
