COURTS RULING MAY AID TIGERS sMakeshift Stills De clared No Violation
 Of Law

Convictions in cases involving dis tilling may only be obtained after the defendants have been shown to possess complete distilling outfits and opera ton of make-shift whisky making equipment is no. violation of law, ac- cording to a ruling by the Alabama court of appeals cited Tuesday by Louis Prosch, attorney for H. E. Graves, on trial before Judge H, P. Heflin on a charge of operating still near New Castle.
 County officials pointed out that this ruling probably would affect hun dreds of convictions of distilling ob- tained in various courts throughout Alabama and result in the remission of thousands of dollars in fines collected since the state law against the manu- facture of intoxicating beverages be- came effective.
 The ruling was announced less than two months ago in case appealed from another county and known as Pate versus the State. The presiding judge ruled that possession of a part or parts of a still cannot be construed as a. violation of law and that the act passed by the legislature to prevent manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages interpreted. "still" as mean ing q complete outfit for the manufac- ture of spirituous liquors. Possession of an incomplete. outfit or crude sub stitute for it, according to the interpre- tation given the law, cannot be con strued as an offense, even though it is actually used in making whisky, it was stated.
 Mir. Prosch was attorney for Graves, who was on trial Monday following his indictment by tM grand jury on charge of distilling. Officers testified that they captured an old gasoline drum which the defendant was charged with owning and operating as a whisky still.
