A fine point of law will be brought before United States Commissioner Hitchcock when (or if) one Charles Howard is arrested under the Com- missioner's warrant on a charge of bookmaking in the Federal Building: The fineness of the point is in this: The offense is alleged to have been conmitted on Federal property, and there is no Federal law against book- making. There is a State law, but the question is whether Howard can be construed to have broken ii when he was not on State territory The information was brought to the United States District Attorney's of- fice by Frank Kinscher, a city police- man. “But 1 cannot arrest him on Federal property,"’ said the cop, who there- fore made an affidavit.
