STATE EX REL. SOWLE, Respondent, v. BRITTICH, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Wisconsin.

May 8, 1959.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

For the appellant there was a brief and oral argument by N. Paley Phillips, attorney, and Bertram J. Hoffman of counsel, both of Milwaukee.

For the respondent there was a brief by the Attorney General and William A. Platz, assistant attorney general, C. Stanley Perry, corporation counsel of Milwaukee county, and W. Lee Cronin, assistant corporation counsel, and oral argument by Mr. Cronin and Mr. Platz.
