D. c. MAN IS FREED
OF DRY LAW CHARGE
Excepting J. E. Boudwin, Jr.,
Defendants in Florida Indict-
ment Held for Hearing.

United States COmmi sioner Tur-
mage today discharged from custody
James f.. Boudwin. jr., one of the IS
Washingtonians charged with con-
spiracy to violate the national pro-
hibitioh act in an indictment report
ed by a grand jury at Tampa. Fla.
The commissioner held that young
Boudwin had offered testimony which
rebutted the prima facie case of
proba BILE cause raised by the indict-
ment. He showed he did not know
of the alleged conspiracy and had no
knowledge Of the presence of intoxi-
cants in his fathers house. Commits
sioner Turnage held the other IA men
for the action of the District Su-
preme Court. to which United States
Attorney Gordon and Assistant United
States Attorney Burnett will apply

detained at the courthouse while their
counsel prepared petitions for their
release on habeas corpus. Writs
were allowed by Justice Siddons, and
the II men gave bail OF 81 900 each
to appear for hearing on October :.
In their application for writs OF
habeas corpus the accused men at
| tack the validity of the indictment
which. they claim. is not properly
verified and does not sufficiently al
leEe the commission of any offense
against the United States. They de-
clare the Indictment also fails to con-

| probable cause to believe the men
guilty of the offenSe and that no tes-
