Law of 1943 Written Off Books

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Nov. 17 (UP)--Alabama men have: been restored the right to look into a room occupied by a woman -by authority of the State Supreme Court. The court wiped off the books the “peeping Tom” law of 1943, which made it unlawful for a male to go near, stare, gaze or peep into a room occupied by a person of the opposite sex. The ruling said that a lot of men, including postmen, milkmen, icemen and deliverymen, have to see if anyone is at home. And it will be their fault, the court held, if ‘the occupant turned out to be a © ‘woman.
