CHATHAM, Va, May 25.-The un-
written law was successfully raised here
yesterday and brought acquittal OF
Douglas Barker, cotton mill worker OF
Schoolfield, who shot Frank Garter,

The State proved that Barker, after
Airing two bullets which brought Carter
to the floor Of the store in which they
met stood over him and fired three
more, saying IF that doesn't finish him,
let me know"
He then walked from the store and
awaited officers to whom he explained

NEW YORK, September 16.--Jack

Of Sheriff william Traeeger Of Los

ARGUMENTS HEARD
IN BLACKMER CASE
ConstitutionaIity of Walsh
Act AssaiIed by Oil !.
Mans Attorney.

Arguments commenced before Justice
Frederick 7. Siddons in the District
Supreme Court today on the plea of
Harry M. Blackmer. former president
Of the Midwest Refining Co., to the
Governments charge that he should
be adjudged in contempt of court for
failure to answer summons to appear
as witness for the Government in the
Tea Pot Oil Dome trial.
Opening the arguments for the self
exted oil magnate, who fed to Paris
in 1925, George Gordon Battle, q New
York attorney, attacked the conStitu-
tionality Of the Walsh act, which Con-
greSS enacted especially with the view
to compelling Blackmer's return to this
country. Under authority Of the act
United States Marshal Edgar c. Sny-
der has seized 100000 of property Of
Blackmer. Battle pointed out that the
Walsh act was originally intended to
compel the attendance Of witnesses in
civil cases.
Right Of Defendant.
The Government, through Special Oil
Counsel Owen j. Roberts and Former
Senator Atlee Pomeree, has already held
that the right to challenge the consti-
nationality Of the Walsh act on this
ground belongs to the defendant, and
not to the defaulting witness. MIR. Bat
tie, however, argued that the witness.
being an interested party In the pro-
ceeding. has the same rights as q de-
PENDANT when he attacks directly the
constitutionality Of the act.
Defense counsel also questioned the
legality Of the subpoena which was
served upon Blackmer in pursuance of
the special legislation, which provided
forfeiture Of 100000 against Q person
In q foreign Jurisdiction who fails to
obey the summons. The subpoena, he
told the court, was issued in the form
Of subpoenas served within the jurisdic-
ton OF the court, and contained no
proper showing that it had been issued
from the authority Of the Walsh act.
interrupted by Judge.
Several times during the argyll
ments Justice Siddons interrupted Bat
tie and asked the defense attorney at
one time II he did not consider Black
mer's position should have been one
of allegiance more than of law. To
this Battle replied that no amount of
allegiance could deprive his client of
the right to question the legality of
the courts action in attempting to 60
outside its jurisdiction to compel him
TO return mere as a W1CneSG.
Battle declared that the Walsh act
was q revolutionary piece Of legislation
and denounced the subpoena, for which
the act is the sole authority. also as
revolutionary.
BY reason OF the 1nvalidity OF the
act and the questionable legality of
the subpoena served on Blackmer,
his attorney contended that the oil
magnate should be adjudged not guilty
Of contempt of court and the proceed
ingS dismissed. Government counsel
will argue the opposition to the motion
this afternoon.

FISHERMEN DISPUTE
RIGHTS TO L0UGH FOYLE
Waters Between Free State and
North ireland Cause
Damage to Boats.

Who owns Tough Foyle? This ques-
ton is agitating good many people in
North Ireland. especially fishermen,
and disputants are disabling their rivals
boats. On the extreme northern coast
Of Ireland there Is bold peninsula
lying between Tough Swilly and Tough
Foyle. This peninsula Of 1nnishowen Is

the boundary between north and south.
Its western shores are, Of course, In the
the Belfast Parliament, but who owns
the water and the fish in it Is still q
question.
A Free State Judge has ruled that all
the Tough up to high-water mark on the
Derry side belongs to the Free State,
but his decision Is not final and the
northern government does not accept
1t. The Innishowen fishermen are
licensed by Donegal board Of con-
SENATORS, but the Foyle & Bann Fishery
Co. claims that they are treSpaSSerS.
Some of this fishing company's boats
have been damaged on the Donegal
side and 1t has claimed compensation.
The company maintains that whoever
owns the Tough the fishery company
owns the fish in it. There Is q good
deal Of tension, which is expected to
lead to q discussion between both Irish
governments as to jurisdiction over the
Tough.
