yff URLINGTON ACT
ARGUED BEFORE
^ SUPREME COURT
Questions Involve Effect <Jf
New Law On Old Cases and
Its Interpretation
Rules That Defeated Amendment Pro
posed To Clarify Meaning of Meas
ure Sot Proper Subject For Court's
Consideration; Will Take Law As It
Is Written. ??
Questions involving both the effect
o f the old law on old canes and inter
pretation of section 10 of the Turling
ton Act enacted by the last General
Assembly were presented to the. Su
preme Court yesterday. Just twelve
days after the ratification of the States
latest prohibition law. Herlot Clark
son, of Charlotte, who was chairman
of the legislative committee of the
Anti Saloon timgne which drafted the
Turllngton Act, aaalstea Assistant At
torney General Prank Nash In defend
ing the law.
The questions were raised by coun
sel for^Eugene G. Foster, a Franklin
county negro who waa convicted in'
January and sentenced to 18 months
on the roads for pauses in g whiskey |
for the purpose of sale and for receiv
ing more than a qt. of whiskey. Fosters
appeal wss pending when the Turling
ton Act was ratified on March 1, and
counsel filed a supplementary brief,
holding that Judgment should be ar
rested because of the alleged repeal
of -the old prohibition laws.
The two gallons of whiskey, for pos
session ofwhich Foster was convicted,
were founH in the negrpe's home and
Thomas W . Rufln, who argued the r.n- t)
for the defendant, made much of this
point. Mr. Ruffin contended that there
is no evidence in the record to show
that Foster had sold any whiskey at
all and that the appellate court Bhould
confine Itself to the record and should
find that under the now law the negro
would, on the record, be Innocent.
Section ten of the Turlington Act, Mr.
Ruffin contended, provides that whis
key may be possessed lp the home for
the use of the owner and his bona fide
guests. , ,
Another contention of Mr. RufTin*]
was nipped in the bud when Chief
Justice Walter Clark announced ihat
the court Would not take judical no
tice of the bill passed by the Senate
and rejected by the House which
nought to ament the Turlington Act
by providing that it should not be
construed so as to affect pending lltf
gatlon. Assistant Attorney General
Frank Nash reed to the court a de
cision of the Supreme Court of the
Tailed States where admission of re
ports of committees and debrtes In
| Congress was refused on Ue ground
that such evidence Is admlssable only
to solve doubt, not to create It. Judge
Clark ruled that the court would bo
folded solely by what the General As
fmbly had enacted into law.
Qaestioa ef Bepugaaucy
Practically the entire argument hin
ged around the question of whether
or not the Turlington law Is repug
nant to the old laws making posses
sion of more than a gallon of whiskey
prima facie evidence of pdrpose to
sell and prohibiting the receipt of
more than a quart of whisker, under
which Foster was convicted. Mr. Ruf
fin held that where ? man could be

guilty under on* law h4 lnio<Mit
under the other the ltwi were neces
sarily eleerjy repugnant while Mr.
Nut and Mr. ' Clarkaon took the? Tie*
that the Turlington law merely
strengthens the old law and la amend
atory rather than conflicting. Mr.
Clarkaon explained that sections 1-11,
Inclusive, of the Turlington Act are
adaptations ot the Volstead Act while
the remainder ot tho statue Is a re
statement ot previous Stale laws as
tound In the consolidated statues. All
ot the attorneys cited a long line ot
decisions ot the court tending to up
hold their respective positions and Mr.
Clarkson read at length from decisions
written by Chief Justice Clark and
Associate Justices Walker and Stacy
of the present court. Members ot the
court followed the argument very
closely and Interrupted frequently
with questions.
Mr. Ruff In and W. M. Person, at
torneys for Mab Journegan, another
Franklin county man also filed and
argued a motion tor an arrest ot Judg
moot tor manufacturing, but the argu
ment *11 more formal.
Attacks Judge's Charge ' _
Mr. Ruffln. deroted some time to
the charge o f Judge E. B. Cranmer
la the Foeter caae in which the jury
was told that "any "Jury that requires
any different kind of^ evidence In pro
hibition cases la not an honest Jury."
Mr. Person also dwelt at leagtfc on
a charge by Judge Cranmer In the
Journecan caaa.
The records have not yet reached
the court in the caae of Rote Davis
and Nlles O'Neal convicted at the Feb
ruary and March terms of Wake County
Superior Court for selling whiskey.
Theae cases will pro bally be specially
set before the adjournment of the pre*
cent term of the court. ? News-Obser
