Baltimore lawmaker faces Volstead act case over home wines
Representative John Phillip Hill stands charged in U S Court with six counts for manufacturing and possessing wine and cider. Hill argues section 20 of the Volstead act may not apply to home made beverages and seeks an interpretation of intoxicating liquor definitions. He plans to prove Congress intended non intoxicating fruit juices fall outside the act, and cites home use cider and wine as legally non intoxicating. Prohibition officials Roy A Haynes and James H Jones are summoned as witnesses.
