The decision by Judge Hardison
which was announced yesterday. Is In
the case Of Emmanuel Freeman.
charged with violating the Reed
Amendment by bringing into the Dis
trict 332 half pints of whisky In his
own automobile.
Attorney Robert I. Miller. counsel
for Freeman. filed a demurrer. plead
ing that because Freeman used his
own car he was not engaging In in
terstate commerce. as specified In the
Reed Amendment
In Half Pint F1asks.
The decision. which was against
Freeman, was based upon the fact
taC iNIooi was III WI

the courts mind but that It was In
tended for resale or barter and there
fore came within the scope Of the
Reed Amendment.
But had Freeman brought over Q
few quarts for his own use in his
own car he could not be charged
with violating the Reed Amend
ment, IL Judge Hardison's decision
Is taken literally.
His decision reads: THE nature
OF the commodity. the method of &C.
quisition and the intended use and
not the method OF transportation
constitute the determining factor.
Intended for Resale.
Therefore. the court assumed tha'
Freeman intended the whisky fol
resale, thereby constituting COM
merce in the broadest sense. So the
court refused to Quash the informa'
tion against him.
