Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Misdemeanor — finder of Defendants — Severance—Judicial Discretion. In misdemeanor cases, where two or more defendants are properly joined in one information, a motion of one defendant to sever and for a continuance is addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court.</p> <p>2. Liquor Law — “Bone-dry” Law Constitutional. The “bone-dry” law is constitutional — following the decision in The State v. MaceJc, 104 Kan. 742, 180 Pac. 985.</p> <p>3. Same — Motion to Quash Information — Properly Denied. The pend-ency of another case in a justice’s court involving the same offenses for which a person is being prosecuted in the district court does not require the latter court to sustain a motion to quash — especially when it is admitted in the district court, when the motion to quash is under consideration, that the case in the justice’s court had ere then been dismissed.</p> <p>4. Same — Venue Shown. The record examined, and held to show conclusively that the offenses charged and proved against defendants were committed in Crawford county.</p>
