Judge Thomas Declares Rum Ship Case Sets Precedent
Hartford Feb 27 Judge Edwin Thomas of the US District Court in New Haven ruled illegal the seizure of the British schooner Over the Top by IRS agents off the American coast on Oct 20 1924. The decision states Congress must extend criminal jurisdiction beyond three and twelve miles and that the treaty alone does not enforce enforcement. It reinterprets the one hour sailing distance and notes the Coast Guard pursuit and whisky purchases did not prove jurisdiction.
