RYLE CAN'T GET INTO JAIL.

He Wishes to Test the Sunday Law but
Judge Wallace Won't Let Him.

William L. Ryle, proprietor of a billiard hall at Ninth and Main streets, refused to give bond after answering two grand jury indictments for working on Sunday, appeared again in the criminal court before Judge Wallace yesterday morning. The judge told him to come back Friday at which time he will learn whether he is to be sent to jail. He wishes to go to jail and test the law by means of an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the circuit court. He was indicted twice for breaking the law on one Sunday. His contention is that he can break the law, if at all, only once on one Sunday.
