COURTTO REVIEW RUMBUVER CASE Chief Justice Hughes An-: nounces Argument Will | Begin April 28. The Supreme Court of the United | States will go into the question of whether a buyer of illicit liquor is gullty under the law. The court yes- terday decided to grant the Government an appeal in a test case against James | E. Farrar of Boston, Mass., indicted on 8 charge of purchasing liquor from a | bootlegger | Chief Justice Hughes announced that | the case would be set down for argu- ment on April 28, following the Norris | case from Philadelphia, in which the | Government contends that the pur- | chaser who orders liquor shipped to him is guilty of conspiracy to violate the | prohibition law. ‘The Government lost both cases in | the lower courts. The Federal District | Court for Massachusetts held in the | Farrar case that the provision of the | hibition law requiring purchasers of iquor to have permits applied only to those authorized under the law chase liquor and did ‘not cover Di chases from bootleggers. In the Norris case the Circuit Cour of Appeals held that the purchase of | liquor was no offense under the prohi bition law and that the ‘transportatio incident to delivery of the liquor to the purchaser did not render the -urchaser ilable to prosecution on a charge of conspiracy to violate the prohibition act The Government is urging the court | to pass on another phase of prnl’nbi-‘ tion enforcement. It would have the | highest tribunal hold that violators of the prohibition law may be punished | under the internal revenue laws for | defrauding the Government of revenue as well as under the prohibition act. | —_— On his seventieth anniversary, May 9, Sir James Barrie, the author, will preside at the annual dinner in London of the Literary Fund, SELF RITES TOMORROW Funeral services for Mrs. Ellen 8.

C., WEDNESDAY, LONE JUROR PREVENTS VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL Case of Alleged Hit-Run Driver ‘Was Debated for 34 Hours ‘Without Decision. The persistence of 1 juror who held out for nearly 24 hours against the com- bined opinion of his 11 companions, prevented the acquittal of Jack Edwin Parker, 21 years old, who was charged as a “hit-and-run” driver in a man- slaughter indictment for the death of Mrs. Stella Herschberger of Kings- ton, Pa. The case was given to the jury yes- terday morning and when they had not agreed last night they were locked up. Justice Hitz called them before him in Criminal Division 2, and when informed of the imj ibility of an agreement dismissed them. | According to the evidence at the trial | Parker was driving an automobile, No- | vember 8, 1927, at Thomas Circle when he struck Mrs. Herschberger and her husband, Albert, killing the woman and injuring her husband. He kept on driv- ing and was not halted until he was, several blocks from the scene. The court instructed the jury that they might consider the alleged flight of the driver as a circumstance tending to show recklessness in the operation of the car, but not as establishing the charge of manslaughter. The boy was | continued at liberty on bail. Assistant United States Attorney | ‘Walter M.
