Mitchell Opposes Stobbs Amendment to Jones Law
Washington April 9 The House Judiciary Committee delayed action on the Stobbs Bill to amend the Jones law limiting penalties for first and casual liquor offenders. Attorney General Mitchell opposed the measure and urged the Supreme Court to hold that a person ordering liquor shipped to him can be guilty of conspiracy to violate dry laws. The government brief argues a New York purchaser ordering liquor from a Philadelphia bootlegger constitutes conspiracy. The committee planned to decide today on broader law enforcement measures expanding United States Commissioners powers for juryless trials and allowing state officers to seize liquor-carrying automobiles.
