JUDGE SMITH CONTINUES
fifty ODD CASES
Federal Judge Makes Ruling on Pro-

OLD OR NEW STATUTE?
Attorney Raises Point That Defend
ant Was Indicted Under Act Re-
pealcd by Volstead Measure.

Florence, March 16--A ruling of
Importance was made by Judge H. A.
NJ. Smith in the federal court here to-
DAY affecting cases which had been
brought up for violation of the pro-
hlbltlon laws ,and as result of thi.
ruling some fifty-odd such cases have
been continued until the next term of
court.
The ruling followed motion bv ].
Monroe Spears, of Darlington, to
quash the indictment against + Fl
Wndham for operating an illicit dis
tlIlery, on the ground that the act was
alleged to have been committed sub
seQuent to January 18, the date on
which the national prohibition amend
mcnt became effective. Wnham was
indicted under the old statutes which
Judge Smith ruled had been repealed
ty the NolStead act, ACCORDINGLY he
granted TIE motion to quash the in
t!lctment
1t developed then that there were
some so or more similar cases on the
docket to be tried at this term Of the
United States court. All of these
cases wecr ordered continued. The
defendants, however, will be held
pending the drawing of new indict-
mcnts under the Volstead act. 1t was
SAID today by those interested in the
matters of the court that the Wind
nam ease was likely to be taken to the
crcui. court cf appeals and possibly
u the supreme court.
Under the old revenue laws the
penalty i'm the case of Illicit distilling
was not less than 80 days or more
than two years Imprisonment, and
fine of not less than 500 or more
than 500. Under the new act, the
penalty for distillng is not more than
81 900 fine or six months imprison-
mcnt There is no minimum. 1t is
understood that Judge Mcdowell Of
the district court Of West Virginia re-
Gently rendered a decision Just the op-
positc Of the ruling made by Judge
Smith today.
Attorneys practicinE in the United
States court, who have been retained
in the numbcrlcss liouor cases clog
gng the docket arc very much inter
csted in the developments in court
today and the ruling e Judge Smith
has been generally discussed. The
difference in the punishment provided
