Second au UUITTED OF VIOLATION OKEH 1S PLAGED ON CIDER PARTY HELD AT HOME IN BALTIMORE Burden of Proof That Home Beverages Are Intoxicating Left to. U.S. by Ruling. BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 18. — Representative John Philip Hill of Baltimore was acquitted by a jury in United States court today of violat- ing the Volstead law by manufacturing intoxicating wine and cider at his home, three West Franklin street. The fifth and sixth counts of the indictment which charged Col. - Hl with maintaining a common nuls- ance at his home, -were dismissed under instructions from Judge Mor+ ris A. Soper, who presided at the trial. The trial was ‘the result of a tes case forced by Col: Hill, who main- tained the Volstéad law gave the farmer a right'to manufucture cider and wine but withheld from the city men the right to manufacture beer. The trial brought from Judge So- per the opinion that the clause of the Volstead act defining beverages of more than half of one per cent alcohblic content as illegal did net nude wines and cider provided the product is non-intoxls cating “in fact.’ Judge Soper also indicated by his rulings and his charge to the jury that the burden rested upon the gov- ernment to show. that such home products were intoxicating in fact, an@ a yiolation of the law.
