Only Her sholt could have made a sympathetic character out of what would have been a conventional role in less expert hands.

One of the most, unusual theft cases ever heard in police court oc- cupiod the attention of Judge stan ley J. Traceski today and after all the evidence was in, he suspended judgment because it was chiefly cir cumstantial and reasonable doubt existed.

Washing on, April II tPi-Eeturh Of liquor 10 the leNiathan and other ships of the United States Lines, Inc, now that they have passed from shipping board to pri- vate con rol. apparently has aroused more curiosity than concern in the minds of prohibition officials here. The department of justice dis missed queries with the statement that the supreme courts decision of April 30. 1928. holding that Amerl can ships could scll liquor beyond the three mile limit, supplied all the authority required in the newest de >elopment. Prohibition officials were curious. however. as 10 how and where the lCsiathan procured tin" liquor with which it sailed from, New York. Those officials are look ing to their New York agents to satisfy that curiosity.
 Law Is Explained
 It was eNl ined that under the law. Ameri' and foreign ships may not ha, pn board under bond any liquor o' than medicinal sup plies, Such m icinal liquor is pur- chasa hlo under specific permits. but may be dispensed on ship board only by prescription. So far as off cials here arc advised, the United States Lines received no permit 10 transport either medicinal or hev- craze liquor. Their understanding IS that if the Leviathan has liquor aboard il is Of the medicinal variety cd for by prescriptions.
 , On return voyages the ship can. as do other privately owned -Amerl- can ships, buy abroad sufficient 1 liouor-to last until the 'hree-mile limit is reached. where il must be dumped overheard.
 The supreme courts decision Of 1923 was brought by several ship ! lines 10 test a ruling by Fedora { Judge Hand Of New York and i, stipulated that neither American nor , foreign ships shah bring into the three mile limit liquor under bond to he served on an outward Voyag"
 A prior ruling by Attorney Genera Daughorty removing iiquor iron American ships at sea or in ioreIe1 ports was upset ty the court d"ci, sion. Tn compliance with tho Daughorty ruling. the shippin: board, then under the chairnanshiI Of A.
