CASE
BY Staff Correspondent

ABINGDON, Va, June g.
With personalities submerged
and the question of the extent
to which officers can go In
enforcing the prohibition laws
paramount, the case of the
commonwealth against Deputy
Sheriff Bates Grove, charged
with the murder of j. ". Ken
drick, II : year old college
student, came to a close today.
The jury of IL farmers began It's
elaboration this afternoon and ex-
pected to report before nighttau,
thus giving the accused deputy a
decision before he goes to see one
of his twelve children graduated
from q nurses training school to
night.
The first indication of what
punishment the State seeks was
given by Peter J. Davenport, re-
tanned as an assistant prosecutor by
Washington Alumni Of Emory and
Henry College, of which Kendrick
was a student. He said: I'VE don't
ask the death penalty"
Before a court room packed to
capacity by scores of farmers and
their wives, the four prosecution
counsel made vigorous attacks upon
the prohibition law enforcement
system and the extent to which Of
ficers go in enforcing of the law.

On the other hand the two de-
fenss counsel made just as vigorous
defense Of the system and Of the
W. D. Worley, and Abingdon Police
man James McReynolds were simply
performing their duty when. on the
night Of May 6, they fired a voiley
of shots at a car which Kendrick
was riding with Sterling Dutton
and Paul Phelps.
Prohibition enforcement in Vir-
ginia was branded as a ''damnable
lie" system by Davenport in his
closing argument.

kind that the residents Of his
community like.

Emory Widener. who opened for
the defense, pleaded that the Off
GERS were merely doing their duty.
He declared that if they hadn't fol-

the citizens would have complained
and ousted him from office. Now
that they did their duty, you want
to send this man to the peniten.

The blood of young Kendrick IS
on the hands of Phelps. Widener
declared. He attacked Phelps char

Kendrick with him on the fatal ride.

CONGRESS
ASKED To
HELP
BY GEORGE E. DURNo

President Hoover moved to-
day to tighten up Federal en-
forcement of prohibition.
In a special message to Congress,
he recommended appointment of
joint Congressional committee
which would be charged with max
ing an immediate study of 1.-The re-
organization and concentration of
responsibility in administration of
the Federal bureaus connected with
prohibition enforcement"
The President advised Congress he
stood ready to appoint committee
from the departments to cooperate
with such a congressional body,
the national commission on law OBJ
serVance and enforcement
Reforms Asked
The proposed survey would cover
the whole broad field of govern
mental dry law activities, according
to the Presidents message. This
would include not only the transfer
OF some bureaus and agencies from
certain departments TO others, but
include also general strengthen.
ing of border patrol, both in con
! neetion with prohibition and the
Illegal entry of aliens.
Mr.. Hoover explained he would
like the proposed congressional COM
mittee to make recommendations at
the outset of the regular session Of
Congress in December, as the prob.
lens involved will require legisla-
ton.
His message follows:
In order to secure the utmost
expedition in the reorganization
and concentration of responsibility
in administration of the federal
bureaus connected with prohibition
enforcement, so greatly needed to
improve their effectiveness,
recommend that the Congress ap.
point a joint select committee to
make an immediate study of these
matters and to formulate recon-.
mendations for consideration at the
next regular session.
Ready to Cooperate
II shall be glad to appoint
committee from the departments to
cooperate with such a committee
Of the congress. The national com.
mission on law observance and en-.
forcement will also cooperate
through their studies of the Ge-
partmental organization.
The subject involves the transfer
of parts of various bureaus and
agencies from certain departments
TO others and 1t includes as we'll the
necessity for the unification and
strengthening Of our border patrols.
both in connection with prohibition
and illegal entry of aliens. As the
question embraces numerous laws
and regulations in Federal bureaus.
it will require extensive consider
alton which if given Jointly by such
committees of the Congress and the
departments prior to the regular
session will save many months of
delay"
