MITS FELONY, SAYS JUDGE
WASHINGTN.—James J. Britt,
thief counsel of the prohibition bu
reau, expressed the belief today, that
the government will not take advan
tage of the ruling by Federal Judge
Fitzhenry at Peoria, 111., that any
person who buys liquo and does not
report it commits a felony.
The law was passed during the
early days of the nation, Britt said,
and is still on the statute books, pro
viding punishment for persons who
knew of the commission, > of felonies
and did not report them.. Like many
other laws adopted in the earlier days
of the government, this law has
fallen intot disuse.

liff, the “Santa Claus bandit” of the

dit, who was n jail pending a sanity
, hearing, failed when the rope broke.

paced around his neck and a score
pulled on it.

to talk,” and the hangmen eased the
pressure on the neck. Ratliff was
| lowered to the ground for the second

talk?”

few unintelligible words.

string him up and make a good job
out of itr .someone-shouted.
Again the hangmen 'bent their
weight on the rope-and he "was left ;
^flanging until .dead,
