WHO IS BIGGEST LIAR9
Find Out and You'll Know How to De-
eide Case, Judge Tells Jurors

Recently in the Montreal court Cap
tain Ford was tried on the charge of
piracy. Expert testimony by bootleggers
was offered for both prosecution and de-
Tense. The judge told the jurors there
evidently had been perjury on one side
or the other and it was up to them to
decide whose bootleggers were the big
gest liars
The case involved the activities of GER
tain rum boats which make up part of
the feet of rum row and for that reason
attracted considerable attention. Ac-
cording to testimony brought out by wit
nesses at the trial, all the ships on rum
row few the British flag "for protec-
ton" and constantly changed places and
names.
The cargo of the ship involved was in
sured at Lloyds for $3o,724 and at the
Merchants Marine Association for S.
ZIG.
As long as these boats engaged in
the criminal enterprise of overriding the
Constitution of the United States and
the prohibition and custom laws have
the support of banks and insurance COM
panies of foreign nations the problem Of
suppressing rum running will be diff
cult.
England ought to insist that these rum
boats do not use the British flag as
means of protection.

CONTRABAND LIQUOR NOT
RETURNED

There has been considerable difference
of opinion among the various federal
courts upon the provisions of the Ma
tional Prohibition Act and Espion-
age Act, relating to the search for
and seizure of Intoxicating liquor.
In a number of jurisdictions it has
been ruled that where the warrant was de-
fective upon which the liquor was seized
that such liquor must be returned to the
person from whose possession it was
taken. 1t is difficult to reconcile such rul-
ings with the expressed provision in the
Volstead Act that no property rights shall
exist in any liquor or property possessed
in violation of the statute. 1t is also pro-
vided that the burden of proof shall be
upon the possessor in any action concern
ing the same to prove that such liquor
was lawfully acquired, possessed and used.
The Circuit Court of Appeals of the Fifth
Circuit in Voorhees, against United States,
POO Federal, u.s. in an able opinion by
Judge Bryan, declines to accept the view
that contraband liquor must be returned
to the claimant. The facts in this case as
recited by the court were:
"The plaintiff in error filed a petition,
praying that search warrant under which
his home was searched be quashed, and
that quantity of Intoxicating liquor
which was seized hereunder be returned
to him. The search warrant was defective,
in that it was not supported by charge

that the dwelling was being used for the
unlawful sale of liquor. Section Is, Ma
tional Prohibition Act Comp. St. Ann.
Supp. 1923, Sec. 10138Hm). The District
Court quashed the warrant, but refused to
order the return of the liquor, which is
described in the petition as cases and IS
bottles of home brew beer, 333 sacks, 18
cases, and 100 quarts of assorted liquors,
and 129 gallons of alcohol, besides half

error does not a1lege that he was the
owner of the liquor; but nevertheless he
assigns error upon the refusal of the court
to order that it be returned to him, and
contends that his rights under the Fourth
and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution
have been violated.

TO HALT THE SMUGGLING OF
ALIENS

More profitable than rum smuggling
has now become the smuggling of aliens,
according to a quotation from the New
York Evening Post:
Professional violators of the law, it is
said, have given up bootlegging for the
more profitable smuggling of aliens
across the border. They can get more for
carrying load of aliens across the bor-
der near some little used and unguarded
route than they can by bringing load of
liquor over. The danger of getting caught
is also less.
1t is suggested that the prohibition
forces for the prevention of liquor snug
Cling be used to cooperate with the immi-
grafton forces for the enforcement of the
immigration laws.

RUNNERS GIVE UP CASE
Let Ship Seizure Appeal Slide;
Their Efforts are Found
Futile

The owners of the Grace and Ruby, a
British schooner seized outside the three
mile limit as liquor runner, on October
E, abandoned in the Supreme Court their
effort to have the ship released. An ap-
peal docketed by them was dismissed
on motion of their counsel.
At the time the appeal was instituted
it attracted wide attention because it in
volved jurisdiction OF the United States
over seized vessels outside the three
mile limit. Since then, however, the
United States by treaty has extended its
sea jurisdiction in prohibition cases.
The seizure of the Grace and Ruby was
sustained by the federal court of Massa-
chusetts on the ground that it was au-
thorized under the "hcvering act"

OUR LITTLE BROWN BROTHERS"
RUM PROBLEM

The question whether the Philippine Is
lands are American territory or whether
they are territory not owned by the
United States, but held in trust, is involv-
ed in the application CT the Volstead Act
to the Islands. If they come within the
wording of the law as territory Subject
to the jurisdiction OF the United States,
the 18th Amendment applies to them. If
they are only people "held in trust" I'M
til they can rule themselves, then our
right to enforce the Volstead Act there
is questioned.

1--WE are of opinion that none of these
cases sustains the assignment of error.
All except the one last cited deal with the
seizure of private books and PAPERS. In
the Boyd Case clear distinction is made
between such a seizure and the seizure of
stolen or forfeited goods, or things which
it is unlawful for a person to have in his
possession, such as counterfeit coins, lot
terry tickets, and gambling implements.
Liquor illegally possessed is not to be
treated as are articles which may be law
fully possessed. It is true that there may
be lawful possession of liquor, but the bur-
den is upon him who claims that his pos
session is lawful. Section 80, National
Prohibition Act Comp ST. Ann. Supp.
1929 Sec. 10138Kt). The petition in this
case is almost confession that plaintiff
in errors possession was unlawful. The
Amos Case has to do with removing and
concealing whisky on which the internal
revenue tax had not been paid, apparently
in violation of r. S., Sec. 1926 Comp. ST..
Sec. 6038), at time when distilled spirits
were recognized as property. But the
National Prohibition Act provides in Sec
ton Is that no property right shall exist
in liquor used in violation of law. We
conclude that this case is not authority
for the position which the plaintiff in error
takes.
at has been held in the District Courts
r
uor seized in a private dwelling under an
illegal search warrant should be returned,
without requiring evidence that the pos
session was lawful. United States v
Vigneaux Cd. c., 283 Fed, o77; United
States v. Sievers Cd. c., 292 Fed, 3o4;
United States v. Harnich Cd. CO., 289
Fed, ESQ. But the contrary and we think
the correct, rule is announced in United
States v. O'Dowd Cd. c., 273 Fed, 900.
See, also, Haywood v. United States &C.
c. Az, 268 Fed, 795. Because of the seiz-
ure under an illegal search warrant the 1iq-
uor can not be used against the plaintiff
in error in any criminal prosecution, and
thus he is afforded the full protection
guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment.
The Fourth Amendment protects against
unreasonable search and seizure, but it
does not, in our opinion, concern itself
with the title to property, or go to the
extent of requiring the return of liquor
which is by law made subject, prima facie,
to forfeiture and destruction, and in which
no private right of property is shown.
"The burden was upon the plaintiff in
error to aver and prove not only that he
was in possession, but also that his pos
session was lawful"

FOR NEW YORK'S SELF RESPECT
Editorial

Much more than the merits or dement's
of prohibition are involved, the editor
thinks, in the issue between Governor
Smith and Theodore Roosevelt as to the
policy to be pursued toward the law The
increase in alcoholism since the repeal of
the Mullan-Gage Act can be read in sta
tistics. Criminals are finding they can
commit crime probably.
And one of the worst features of the
present situation is that New York state
is in the shameful position of having to
see matter of crime against its own
peace and order a subject of federal au-
thority Colonel Roosevelt has
pledged himself to see that this is cor
rected :. The condition with regard
to the liquor law is scandalous. The
issue presented by that condition should
of itself be enough to insure Colonel
Roosevelt's election.
