HOLDS CAMELING LAW INVALID.
Such a Decision Is Handed Down

The reasons given by the attorney

us mentioned in this column several
days ago when the matter first came
Up. lie holds that the liile of the
bill is not proper, in that the body
of the bill contained wider matter
than was shown by the title, and
I hat all of the bill which was change I
lifter it passed the senate, where it
originated, was not read three tituvs
in each house, as provided for in the
einiHlitutioii. This decision leaves
the old gambling law. which provided
a penalty of a line of $loo or three
months in jail, still in force. The
county attorney of York county wrote
lo the attorney general for the opin
ion. A number of prominent Lincoln at
torneys do not agree witn the attorney
general on his stand. Former County
Attorney Manger, who fought out the
whole thing in the local courts six or
seven years ago, said that the attor
ney general certainly did not go en
tirely through the matter or he would
not have arrived at such a conclusion.
"I have all the records, including
the senate ami bouse bills, pasted to
jrether In my otllce nnd I not only
believe the law to be good, but it lias
been so passed upon by the district
court. Judge Holmes aud Hall silting
