tending to provoke disturbances of good order and breaches of the peace and even now when such sales can be lawfully made it is necessary to impose strict regulations to prevent breaches of the peace and violations of the law" Judge Leathers said "The bootlegger or a person selling intoxicating liquors without attempting to comply with the law must not be tolerated at all and those persons who have been authorized by law to manufacture or sell intoxicating liquors must do so in strict compliance with the law" Leathers declared Other Charges In addition to liquor law violations Leathers also
