NEW YORK
Former Federal Investigator
viii Face Trial on
Conspiracy Charge

CHARLOTTE. n. c.. Jan. Z. -
CASTOR b. Means. formerly a Federal
investigator, today was enroute to
New York where he will stand trial
on conspiracy charges, after having
been advised by his attorney, Jake
F. Newell, of Charlotte, to make
the trip.
Flat on his back in a pullman car
berth, Means; accompanied by United
States deputy marsfals and secret
service agents, left Charlotte last
night after United States District
Judge E. Y. Webb had ordered him
TO New York. The judges order
was issued after Doctor Charles 5.
Britt. acting regional medical officer
for the veterans bureau here, had
examined Means in his home at Con-
cord and had certified his health
would not be endangered by ms
trip.
Means was brought to Charlotte
and at first sought to oppose the
trip, but his attorney was not able
to get in communication with Judge
Webb until after the court order had
been signed. Means said he wished
to remain in Charlotte today in order
that he might be examined by Doctor
X. l.. Gibbon. Of this city. he &c
clared he is suffering from gall stones
and Doctor Joe A. Hartsen, OF Con
cord, had said he was not able 70
make the trip.
Means attorney said today he h3d
advised making the journey as there
was scantest possibility of his max
ing il without harm.

''Whiskey" And Corn
Whiskey" Unlike,
Court Says

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan.
THE difference betwe e II
'whiskey" and corn whiskey,
caused the Supreme Court TO
reverse and remand for new
trial the case of a man charged
with illegally transporting liquor.
"In this case the evidence is
that jugs and jars transporter
contained whiskey," THE court ex-
planned, ''but there is no evl-
dence they contained corn
whiskey."
: 1t seems the law on which the
charge was based provides: IF
any person shall make, manu-
facture, brew, distil, give away
or transport hooch, moonshine,
corn whisky, he shall be guilty
of a felony.
The case reversed was that OF
