to the Constitutional Issues" follows:

his day, the duelist Of Weehawken and
the Republic, where an opportunity
presented itself against the safety and
unity Of the United States. -.
and Marshall presided. The dignity OF
the Judge and the tension Of the court
room contributed to the utmost dignity
Of the day. It, was seen early In the
trial that nothing definite could be
proved against Burr in the matter Of
conspiracy. The effort Of proving con-
spiracy began to be desperate and 1t
seemed that plenty Of hasards were
present, and that practically innocent
accomplices of Burr's were going to be
the butt Of the whole trial.
Marshall Defined Treason.
The trial showed the decided strength
and vigor Of Burr, and the existence Of
contention between Marshall, the pre-
siding Judge, and Jefferson, the Presi-
dent Of the United States.
The constitutional issues Of the case
were the matter of treason. this being
the first case Of treason that had ever
been tried in the United States. BY
the Constitution treason was acts OF
bearing arms against the United States,
and Of acts in giving them aid and
comfort; also that the writ Of habeas
corpus can be suspended In the case OF
treason.
since treason was charged In the
court, Marshall was called upon to- de-
liver an opinion Of Just what treason
consisted OF, II It could be proved. He
declared, after some elaboration, that
treason was an overt act and In order
TO prove treason you must have two
witnesses to the overt act. OF course,
the counsel for the prosecution did not
discover two witnesses to the overt act,
and could hardly prove that an overt
act had ever takea place. Also It was
court could call in the President Of the
United States, who was Thomas JET
ferson ct the time.
Jefferson Refused to Appear.
Marshall declared finally that such
asked to appear, Jefferson would not
do 80, and declared that by doing 80
he would be at the beck and call of
every tribunal UP and down the united
seaboard, and he would not consent to
appear.
In this case there was severe criticism
as to the attitude Of Marshall and his
general inability, and his attitude was
criticized. 1t was not such case as
the trial Of the Dartmouth College
case, which was also prevalent and In
use. At the time there was public hys-
terra, for this was crime Of treason
which was evidence Of the fact, and
there was no justification that could be
found to prove 1t, and 1t would be un-
proved in this trial. Finally Burr &C
cepted the witnesses and he declared
them prejudiced, and also there was an
opinion present against this, as he was
known to be forcible man.
OF course, there was no legal prece-
dent, and 1t is entirely necessary to rely
on legal principle. In doing so Mar
shall proved himself to be possibly the
greatest Judge who had ever sat upon
the bench Of the United States.

LIQUOR SYNDICATE
BELIEVED broken
Federal Men Arrest SWanky
Britisher After Weeks !,
of Trailing.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 24--Edward Tat
ham, swanky young British distiller,
was under $4,000 bali tonight and Fed
eral officials believed they had nipped
in the bud one Of the most elaborate
schemes OF flooding the country with
choice liquor since the eighteenth
amendment was enacted. "
The arrest was accomplished with all
the dramatic staging Of mystery rnelo-
drama. AS the story was told today, It
happened virtually as follows:
latham climbed aboard train for
Montreal last night and opened the
door Of his drawing room, to find 1t al
ready occpied by three alert-looking
and who" he said in effect, ARE
your"
He was informed his visitors were an
assistant United States attorney, a
deputy United States marshal and q
special Treasury agent. Their purpose,
they explained, was to arrest him and
to take a look into the four bags which
comprised his luggage.
Claims Evidence Ample. 81
latham pleaded not guilty today, but
Assistant United States Attorney Watts
said that papers found In one of his
bags contained ample evidence to con-
Wet on the secret indictment charging
laws. t:.
According to Watts, those papers re-
vealed that for 10 months latham and
associates in financially strong British
and American syndicate had been paw
ing the way to import liqour on large
scale In its own feet of steamers. It
was to be high-grade liquor and was to
be sold at such q price that only the
rich could afford it. -
The rum boats, said watts, would
come only to(the treaty limits and there
the liquor would be transferred to
smaller contract boats or to the pri-,
vate yachts Of the purchasers, such
CART being generally subjected to less
rigorous examination than commercial
vessels. -.
Trailed for Weeks. =
For weeks latham had been trailed
on every step that he took, officials de-
laying arrest until the last possible mo-
ment. 50 that their chances would be
better OF obtaining full evidence. Not
drop Of liquor had yet come into the
country through the syndicate, they
said, but plans were completed for the
Importation just as soon as latham
got back to England by way Of Canada.
The London diStilling firm Of Justerirli
& Brooks was indicted with latham.
but officials OF the company said today
they were completely r11ystified by the
whole affair. They said latham had
visited the United States simply on. q
| holiday.
watts said that among Tathann's ps.
| pers were found the names of numerous
prospects prominent in the city's social
! life, but that the evidence seized was
! so complete that he did not expect to
| nave to call these persons as witnesses.
