Phillips v. State

Opinion of the Court

DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.

This conviction was for violation of article 303, P. C., wherein appellant was convicted for exhibiting in a place of amusement a moving picture show on Sunday.

The majority of the court have held the law constitutional and valid in the Zucarro case, this day decided. I do not believe the decision correctly decides the law, but the majority have held the other way, and in obedience to their finding this judgment will be affirmed.

Affirmed.
