COURT FILLED
AS Il GO ON
TRIAL HERE
Bootleg Case Jams the
Room With Array
Of Attorneys

Setting a new record for the
post-prohibition era, 81 alleged
bootleggers went on trial on con-
Spiracy charges before Justice F..
Dickinson Let's and a District Su-
preme Court jury today.
The alleged ring, which origi-
dally consisted of "a members, is
said by Internal Revenue Bureau
investigators to have supplied
most of the illicit hquor consumed
by Washington imbibers for more
than a year after repeal.
The Government is said to have
lost more than 100000 in taxes
through the operations of the al
legged ring which, it is claimed,
sold between 5000 and 10000 gal
Ions Of illicit liquor weekly.
Spectators Excluded
Thirteen of those originally
indicted have been eliminated fer
the trial by pleas Of guilty, by
death, or by dismissal Of the
charge against individual defend
ants.
A murder, nocturnal liquor
smuggling expeditions, wire-tap-
ping and wholesale purchases Of
liquor from a New Jersey dis
tiller are expected to furnish
highlightS in the trial.
Because of the unusually large
number of defendants and their
array Of counsel many spectators
have been excluded from the
court room and the entire space
within the enclosure reserved for
members Of the bar has been
occupied by the defendants and
their attorneys.
Assistant United States Attorney
Henry A. Scheinhaut, in charge of
the prosecution, stated that the
trial will run for probably a month.
More than a dozen lawyers crowded
around the 81 on trial.
Those Indicted
Those indicted include Samuel
s. Montgomery, Albert H. Smith,
Joseph S. Bond, Arthur Bartolozzi,
Earl G. Funk, John Manoi, George
F. Tear, Belford r. Longnecker,

Bill Ordered BY Joint
Congress Groups

House and Senate Military At
fairs Committees in Joint session
today ordered a favorable report
on a bill to shift the entire bur.
den of the Military Road contro'
versy squarely into the lap Of the
Secretary Of War.
Under the terms of the bill the
road at this airport would be
closed to all traffic except sub.
ject to such regulations as the
Secretary of War may prescribe.
AS explained by Representative
John j. McSwain CD Of South
Carolina, chairman Of the House
Military Affairs Committee, this
would give the Secretary of War
authority either to close the road
or to place proper safeguards on
the road at the expense OF either
the War Department or the air.
port company.
Time Extension Asked

ceded the executive session Of the
joint committees at which the bill
was ordered reported it was
learned that Sam Solomon, air.
port representative, wrote to the
Secretary of War today at the re-
quest of Chairman McSwaln, ask.
ing for a Today extension on the
time when the guards maintained
on the road by the airport must
be removed.
Representative McSwain pro-
duced a letter he had received
from the War Secretary, in which
it was explained that the depart
ment will take no affirmative ac-
ton" against the airport company
for at least the Today period.
It was indicated by Solomon
that his company would con-
tinue to keep the guards and
lights stationed on the road for
the temporary period in view Of
the Secretary's letter.
'HOldup" Charged
During the hearing. both Rep
reSentativeS Jack Nichols CD OF
Oklahoma and John D. Dingell
CD Of Michigan bitterly as
saulted any proposal under which
the proceeds from the sale of
Military Road would go to Airing
ton county.
Dingell said such a procedure
would be "hold-up scheme"
in behalf of Arlington county,
while Nichols suggested it would
be bribery" if Arlington county
were to be paid any amount re-
sulting from the sale of the road
to which the Government holds
title.
arlington county has no
more claim to this road than
any other county or State in
the country. That road was
constructed by the Government
principally as an entrance and
exit to Arlington Cemetery, and
although it was to be and has
been used by the public, that
does not give Arlington county
any claim to it which is not pos
SeSsed by any other unit Of the
United States"
