M MULLIN FREED IN
WET RAID KILLING
Revenue Agent Shot Chauf-
feur i'm Struggle Over
Seized Liquors.

Stewart N McMullin, prohibition en-
forcement agent. was acquitted yester-
day of numbering Harry Carlton, a
chauffeur, whom he shot while on a
wet" raid at pa East Seventy-sixth
street on March II. AS McMullin left
the Federal Building he was rearrested
by detectives from the District At
torney's office on warrant issued by
the warden of the Indiana State Pen!-
Tertiary charging him with breaking his
parole after having served four years
and seven months of an eight year
sentence.
He was held as fugitive from JUS
tice by Chief Magistrate McAdoo in the
Tombs Court until noon to-day pending
receipt of documentary evidence from
the Indiana authorities that he is want
ed by them.
McMullin was convicted of petty lar
ceny in Indiana on July 10. 1908. after
passing a worthless check for $40. He
was paroled in January, 1913 and broke
his parole when he left the State. Since
then he has served term in Sing sing
for robbery.
State Senator James j. Walker, who
defended McMulln in the murder trial,
said 1t was simple case of persecu-
ton and he will fight eXtradition on the
ground that seven years have elapsed
since McMullin left Indiana.
McMullin's trial attracted special in
terest, being the first Of the kind under
the prohibition law He and another
dry agent arranged through Carlton to
purchase brandy and whisky from Carlo
Carini, an olive oil merchant. On the
night of March IL they went with Carl
ton to Carinis home.
After the liquor had been placed In a
taxicab and the money paid to Carin
the two revenue men attempted to place
Carini and Carlton under arrest. In the
struggle that followed McMullin shot
Carlton. The only witnesses were Ca
rlnis wife and daughter. who testified
McMullin had slain the chauffeur in cola
blood while his hands were raised above
his head. The defendant said he shot
Carlton in self-defence.
Had McMullin been convicted the
Court would have had to decide whether
he would be electrocuted by the State
or hanged by the Federal Government,
because he was tried in the United
States court although prosecuted by the
State.
