When Judge Soper had completed his*charge, District Attorney Wood- cock asked him to instruct the jury that the burden of proof rested on Col. Hill :o prove that his fruit, juices were not intoxicating in fact and that it was not incumbent upon the government to prove that they were intoxicating. ‘This, Woodcock argued, is pro- vided for in section 33 of the national prohibition act. Judge Soper, however, declined to take Mr. Woodcock’s construction of the law, and refused to so charge the jury, Judge Soper's charge to the jury preceded the argument in the case, which was opened by Arthur W. Machen for the defense. Mr. Machen told the jury it was not John Philip Hill who was on trial, “but the last vestige of Ameri- can liberty.” “. Woodcock objected and Judge Soper told Maclien’ he could not make an antl-prohibition speech in court.
