The. Lawyer's Revolt
The first effect of the drastic Jones bill, providing five
years imprisonment and ?10,000 fines or both for first of
fense violators of the Volstead act, is the formation of a
voluntary committee of lawyers in New York to nullify it
by defending those accused free of charge. These lawyers
include able men, among them seven former Assistant United
States Attorneys, whose sense of justice has been outraged
by providing major penalties for what a decade- ago was a
legalized act.
These lawyers speak ominously 'of the "rumble of a legal
drum" and of "fighting this measure with the same vigor
as the New. York bar displayed in the case of the enforce
ment act known as the Fugitive Slave Law," which was
nassed to protect slave owners, and therefor equally as sac-
rosanct as the Prohibition law. Like the latter, it diverted
the whole machinery of the Federal Government from courts
to army, to the sole task of enforcing this one law which in
its ferocity and inclusiveness surpassed any measure ever
passed by Congress except the Jones' law. It laid drastic
penalties upon persons, who violated it and the courts went
so far as to rule that bystanders who refused to assist fed
eral agents retake slaves were guilty of treason.
. The anti-slave states, aided by groups of lawyers, actu
ated by the same principles that actuate the New York group
today, proceeded to fight the law, and to nullify it by defend
ing violators. It was another instance where a drastic law
defeated itself because not sustained by public opinion in
the states affected. Even the power and might of the fed
eral government could not enforce , an unjust law, even
though supported by the Constitution.
Frederick R. Condert, Jr., who heads the movement
against the Jones bill in New York states that the lawyers
will offer their services as counsel to persons indicted under
this law and fight their cases in court. They propose to
interest themselves especially in the cases of small and poor
oilendera and will endeavor to see that juries understand
the wide divergence between this "crime" and the penalty
it may entail.
The revolt of the lawyers has been a long time coming,
but it seems at last underway. And it means that the en
forcement of prohibition .will be thrown into the courts
themselves. This has not been the case heretofore. Hither
to prohibition cases have been handled by having the offend
ers plead guilty in batches through arrangement with
district attorneys. Out of 8731 convictions last year, 7841
were so obtained in federal courts, and that is the only way
the calendars have been kept -reasonably clear.
Faced with the heavy penalties provided by the Jones
law, a jury trial will be demanded now in nearly every case,
The consequent congestion of the courts will delay trials for
years. As the New York World says:
The present court machinery could not possibly be equal to such a
demand, wnen Emory K. Buckner was District Attorney, it will be re
called, he estimated that if Jury trials were demanded In aU cases eighty.
live more courts would bo needed in New York alone. Under present
conditions, according to H. L. McBaln, professor of public law at Co
lumbia University, "violators of the law would live and die before their
cases would do Drought to trial." Pendleton Howard, lecturer on crim
inal law In the some university, says that to grant jury trials the present
court machinery must be Increased "a hundredfold," and reminds us
mac - is lutue to pass a law designating drastic penalties without
providing court machinery to carry out the law."
But given the additional hundreds of millions of dollars
to establish additional courts, convictions will not be forth
coming because the penalties provided outrage the sense of
justice of jurors.. Few will send a youth to prison for five
years because some snooper induced him to sell a pint of
booze. So the fanatic will next demand abolition of the jury
system and a remaking of the Constitution to fit the Prohi
bition law, an effort partially successful already. The Jones
law itself is a plain violation of the Constitution, which ex
pressly forbids "excessive fines, cruel and unusual punishments."
Chief Justice Called
The fact that Chief Justice Taft misquoted the oath of
office when administering it to President Hoover was dis
covered by 13 year old Helen Terwilliger of Walden, N. Y.,
who heard it over the radio broadcasting the inaugural to
her eighth grado history classmates. She wrote the Chief
Justice telling him that he had wrongly said "preserve,
maintain and defend" the Constitution, instead of "preserve,
protect and defend" as defined in Helen's history text.
The Chief Justice replied that he quoted from memory,
admitting that "my memory is not always accurate, and one
sometimes becomes a little uncertain," but insisting that
what he really had wrongly said was 'preserve, maintain
and protect," and not Helen's version of his mistake at all.
Helen's insistance that she was right and the Chief
Justice wrong, caused three movietone concerns to dig deep
into their inaugural news sound films to decide the point, and
they proved that the girl was right and Mr. Taft wrong,
that his second recollection of what he said was as faulty as
his first.
