The Justice Department reports federal prisons and local jails held 25 026 inmates on April 1 1950 up from 19 349 on June 30 1929 an increase of 6 277 in nine months About 75 percent of the rise stems from convictions under the Volstead and Jones laws Attorney General Mitchell has asked the Supreme Court to decide if a liquor buyer is equally guilty with the seller in the Farrer case Massachusetts where a district court ruled that buying liquor from a bootlegger was not prohibited by the Volstead act and dismissed the indictment The AG argues congressional failure to specify purchases from bootleggers as an offense should not be read as absence of intent to make such purchases illegal
