He referred the matter 20 Mr.. Ruck-

The case was taken into the United

and his deputy were sustained. The
deputy who was under arrest for
contempt by order of Judge Fite's
court was ordered released. Later.
the Internal Revenue Department at
Washington issued an order permit
ting deputies to testify in whiskey
cases and the President Of the United
States has followed this up by the
removal of Hon. II A. Rucker, after
he had studiousiy obeyed the law as
set forth in the federal statutes.
