Hahn v. Hahn

Seven persons, convicted of making sales of merchandise forbidden on Sunday in Anne Arundel County, argue in their appeal that the trial court committed reversible error (1) in refusing to remove or postpone their trials; (2) in denying motions to dismiss the prosecutions based on the claims the Sunday Blue Law is unconstitutional (a) as violating the right of religious freedom guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, (b) as discriminating arbitrarily in favor of certain sales and against others, and (c) as being vague and indefinite, all contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment and Articles 19 and 23 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights; and (3) in refusing to direct verdicts as to some of the accuseds after the evidence was in.
