question decided, that the Shep-
pard Act was repealed by the
national prohibition act, so far
as concerned the sale, manu-
facture; or transportation Of
alcoholic liquor in the District
of Columbia.
THE DECISION HOLDS
Following this decision, all
prosecutions for the sale. manu-
facture, or transportation Of al
cOhOIic liquor in the District Of
Columbia were conducted by the
United States Attorney for the
District of Columbia in the
United States branch of the PO.
lice Court, and no further at
temptS were made to prosecute
such acts by the corporation
counsel for the District Of Co
lumbia as violations Of the pro-
visions Of the Sheppard law.
&C.. 1t is my opinion that the
repeal of the national prOhibi-
ton act, without a saving or re-
vival provision, leaves the Dis
trict of Columbia with no
statute prohibiting the sale,
manufacture, or transportation
of intoxicating liquors."

tered the prison six months ago,
soft and fat from life of ease in
Chicago. He was bareheaded and
more brown suit.
Capone was brought in and he
shook hands with william J.
Hughes, of his legal staff. He sat
down and whispered for several
minutes with Hughes and William
E. Leahy, his other attorney.
Judge Underwood then called
the case of "Alphonse Capone
against Aderhold."
Moves For Dismissal
The Government moved at once
for dismissal of the habeaS
corpus petition on the ground Of
insufficient evidence. Assistant
Attorney General A. G. Young
quist opened the argument.
Capone sat leaning slightly for
ward, hands claSped across his
knees.
Youngquist launched an attack
on the salient point of the con-
tention of the petition for a writ
of habeaS corpus under which
Capone hoped to reduce his SEN
tence from 10 to 3 years-that
the statute of limitations should
have barred the gangster's prose
cution for violation Of the in
come tax act.
Youngquist cited the case of
the United States against Cook
as indicating there was no merit
in the contention Of Capone's
attorneys that the three-year
statute of limitations invalidated
his conviction.
Youngquist cited the Cook
county case without elaboration.
CapOne Listens Closely
Capone listened closely as the
attorney launched into a highly
technical discussion CT the legal
points involved.
Youngquist pointed out that
the Capone defense at the trial
in Chicago, where he was con-
victed, raised the same question
contained in their present plea
in moving for a directed verdict
and were overruled.
The Government, he added,
would have had only to show
that Capone was absent from
the State for brief intervals to
have met all contentious of the
statute of limitations at it's
proper time, which, he argued,
was past. .
Leahy Makes Reply
William E. Leahy, of Washing
ton, D. c., replied for Capone. He
argued there is no burden on the
defendant to show he was or was
not within Jurisdiction Of the
court during the three years
which the statute of limitations
covers in the income tax law. He
said: ....
'Tt is not what the Govern
ment could have shown as to
whether this defendant was out
Of the jurisdiction of the court
and how long. it Is what they
did show"
The question now involved
never was raised in the appeal Of
Capone's case, Leahy declared.

NO FORM TO LOSE

'sIt had to come sooner or later with Gomez" Doc explained, and it's an interesting case. He thinks he's got the hop back on his fast ball for the worlds series. But nobody knows.
 You see Gomez came up in the big leagues a thrower, without any fundamental pitching form He let that ball go and it went places. How he did it he didn't know. Why he was effective he didn't know. It just happened.
 ''He never learned to do things the same way all the time, devel- op a pitching form that was fun damentally sound and correct. And all of a sudden the instinctive form he had departed. He started to do something wrong. But he has no idea where the fault lies. He never knew he was pitching in the first place.

All season Lefty Gomez, Re; Ruffing and young Johnny Aller had been the triple brides of z steam rolling pitching staff. Wit only half a dozen games needed to clinch the pennant, there sud denly arose from the pitching boy on successive days three magnifi- cent balloon ascensions.
 It was Gomez, Ruffing and Al len simultaneously losing their winning form. Gomez lost the hor on his fast ball Ruffing couldn't find the plate. Aliens curves just wouldn't break. And there wa Mccarthy with worlds series just around the corner.
