PAUL, Dec. 20.—Minnesota’s so-called “newspaper gag' 1 law was upheld a second time today by the state supreme court. The court upheld an ii-juncUon prohibiting the Saturday Press from publishing. In a decision handed down in the case of the Saturday Press, Minneapolis, prohibited from publication by an injunction, invoked by Floyd B. Olson, Hennepin county attorney, the supreme court ruled: “The laws of 1925, Chapter 285. do not violate the due process ol law guaranty contained in our state and federal constitutions, nor dc they violate our constitutional provision for freedom of the press.’’ Howard A.

Several of the country’s most prominent, publishers, backed by the Civil Liberties Union, have fought the law whiejr the framers maintained was aimed at the so-called “scandal” sheets.

Had not the court granted Snook another stay, until Jan. 31, and barring intervention of the United States supreme court, the ex-pro-fessor of veterinary medicine would have been strapped in the electric chair tonight and executed. “I’m glad to hear that,’’ Dr. Snook said when appraised of the court’s action. He refused to comment further, although he appeared relieved. The court granted the stay pending action on Snook’s appeal. It was the second granted on the eve of the former professor’s scheduled death. Snook has been in death row at the state penitentiary since last August, when he was convicted of killing the 25-year-old co-ed, with whom he admitted an illicit relationship.
