CIDER LEGAL SAYS JUDGE LOPER Question Not Free From Doubt, Is Admission Made By the Court j BALTIMORE, Md.. Nov. 11. In ruling on the admissibility of certain testimony today at the trial of Representative John Phil lip Hill, in United States court. Judge Morris A; Soper declared it his opinion that it was the intent of congress, as set forth in section 29 of the Volstead act, to permit the manufacture of fruit bever ages and cider for home consump tion regardless of the alcoholic limit of one half of one per cent set forth elsewhere in the act. Judge Soper t added, however, that should such beverages be in fact intoxicating their manufac ture would be a violation of the law. aa would, their sale or deliv ery except to persons having per mits for the manufacture of vine gar. . The judge also declared that in his opinion defendants in such cases could offer evidence to show that thel beverages were not in fact intoxicating. - This statement was interpreted by lawyers pres ent as meaning that the burden of proof rests upon the govern ment. ' Judge Soper's opinion in part follows: . U The question for discussion is whether the defendant.; admitting that he manufactured cider con taining more than half of one per cent of alcohol by volume,, that is admitting it for- the- purpose of this decision, but contending that it was made exclusively for-use in his own home, may offer evi dence to show that the cider was in fact not intoxicating.-: : "While the question is not free from doubt. In my opinion such evidence may be offered. "The doubt arises from the fact that congress seems to have used the word 'intoxicating in a dif ferent sense In one section than that employed , in another. Sec tion one defines intoxicating li quor to include among other things any fermented liquor con taining one half of one per cent of alcohol by volume which is fit for use for beverage purposes. , "Section three of the a.ct makes it an offense for any person to manufacture any Intoxicating li quor except as authorized in the act.
