Key West to Answer
Liquor Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KEY WEST, Fla. May 6.-Trial of
Representative NJ. Alfred Michaelson of
the seventh Illinois district, Chicago, on
an indictment charging unlawful impor-
tation, transportation and possession of
a quantity of liquor shipped from Ha
vana and confiscated in Jacksonville,
today was set to begin in Federal Court
here at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The case was to have been called for
trial at the opening of the six-day term
of Federal Court today, but was put over
until tomorrow because of the death in
Tampa yesterday of William ]. H. Tay-
lor, British and Norwegian vice consul
of Key West and father of H. H. Taylor,
counsel for the Illinois Representative.
Defense counsel said it was possible
that the case might be called as for
mality during today's session if deci-
sion was reached to enter dilatory pleas.
but that introduction of evidence would
not be started until tomorrow.
Nicholson Denies Guilt.
Mr.. Michaelson, who has served sew
eral terms In Congress and is a mem
Der OF the House rivers ana harborS
committee, arrived here this morning
from washington. He had little to say
regarding the case. other than that he
was innocent of the charges"
The representative said he knew
nothing about the offense with which
he Is charged. He added that there had
been intimation from some places that
he had tried to cover up the affair, but
that he knew nothing of the indictment
until last March 9, when the district
attorney of Chicago called him by tele-
phone.
Defense attorneys, as well as Mr.
Michaelson. himself, declined to divulge
any of their plans for the trial.
Mr.. Michaelson was indicted by a
Federal grand jury last September after
conf1scation of a leaking trunk. con-
tanning liquor, which Government
agents claim was his property. The al
legged importation of the liquor occurred
here on January 3, 1928.
Among the assorted liquors which

Federal officials said was found in the
trunk, were six quarts of John Haig
whisky, two quarts of creme de menthe
liquor, enc quart of taffel akvavit, one
quart of creme de cacao charao, one
quart Of cherry brandy and one keg Of
plum barbaucourt.
Although the indictment was returned
last September by the Federal grand
Jury in Jacksonville, it was not an
nounced by the United States district
attorney there until six months later.
Rumors of the indictment were circu-
lated in Jacksonville, but William M.
Gcber, United States district attorney
at that time, refused to make the in
dictment public until last March.
Gober recently resigned and it was
reported from authoritative sources III
Jacksonville that his resignation had
been demanded by the Attorney Cen
erals Office in Washington. He denied,
however, that he quit his post because
of circumstances growing out Of the re-
turn Of the indictment OF the Repre-
sentative.
In addition to Mt. Taylor, the Repre-
sentative's counsel consists of Arthur
Gomez and j. Lancelot Lester Of Key
West and Frank NJ. Dooley of Chicago.
The prosecution will be headed by
Pat Hughes, acting United States dis
tflcC attorney LOT lIe SOuIIleEH OLSIIICI
of Florida, who worked up the case
against the Representative. He will be
assisted by N. j. Morrison, special As
sistant Attorney General from Washing
ton. who prosecuted the cases of Texas

night club hostesses, recently.
While attorneys for the Government
and the defense went ahead mapping
out their final plans for the Michaelscn
trial, Federal court machinery started
grinding away on number Of liquor
law violation cases, which appear most
numerous on the docket.
1t was announced that no special
jury would be summoned for the trial
of the Representative. but that the reg
ular panel would be used.
Mr.. Nicholson appeared unperturbed
about the trial, but said he was anxious
to get it over with"
