The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.

are
These two case•I'\ he rd on motion of defendant in each c a se to
aet aside the verdict of pil ty and grant him a new trial, on the
ground that the evidence on which he was convicted was inadmissible
bec ause obt a ined by an illegal search, made in each instance under
an illegal search warrant.
In neither case was the affidavit upon which the search warrant
issued produced in evidence.
The warrant itself does not h ave to
show the grounds of t h e compl aint, or of affiant'e belief, so I cannot s ay whethe r the warr ants were founded on a sufficient affidavit
or not, unless it can be said that the matter appearing on the faae
of the warrants shows affirmatively that they were issued without
probable c ause.
I don't remember what the warrants show in this
respect, and for present purposes it is unimportant, because the
motion will be denied for other reasons.
In the Crawford case there is a reason for denying the motion
for a new trial that does not exist in the Carper case.
The evidence
was that as the off icers approached Crawford's house to execute the
search warrant, and 1before the house wa s entered or the warrant was
read, Crawford ran from the houae carrying a cuano sack which contained the cans or fruit j a rs of "moon sh ine" whiskey, and t hat he wa s
about to throw them down, apparently to break them, when the officers,
seeing hie moTemente and distinguishing the imprint of the jar• on the
baa, seized him and took the baa away from him; and the jars which
were in the baa, and the liquor contained in them, were the jars and
liquor produced in court.
Crawford was here violating the law in the
preaenot of the officer•,
in the unlawful po s session and transportation
of ardent spirit • , and the court is ot opinion that the violation of

I am furthe rmore of opini on, as appli cable to bo th cases
(cone iderin a the arres t or Craw ford as not justi fiabl e a • for
an
offen se comm itted in the prese nce of the offic ers), that evid ence

had no inter est and which were of v alue only as evide

from the posse ssion of the accus ed atthe trial , by an order of

In the case of Gouled v. U. s., 65 L. ed. ~41, the court on
page 653 ,. deals with the question of the application of the 5th
amendment, in answer to "the fourth question."
The fourth question
as there set out reads ae follow•:
"If euoh paper•, eo taken, are admitted in
"evidence against the person from whose house or
"office they were taken, such person then being on trial
"tor the crime for
"tor warrant, --
which he was accused in the attidavit
is such admission in evidence a violation
of the Ith amendment.• -- (Italic• or under~ coring mine).
To this question the court answered as follows:
"The same papers being involved, the answer to this
"question muet be in the affirmatiTe: for, they having
"been seized in an unconstitutional aearch, to permit
"them to be used in evidence would be, in effect as
"rUled in the Boyd case, to compel the witnesa to become
•a witness against himself."
In the Gouled case, there was no search warrant at all, but
the papers were obtained by a federal officer without a aearch warrant.
It that officer was acting under an order of the court in which the
htendant was on trial at the time (and the question is predicated
upon the tact that the accused was then on trial), then the ruling
would fall within the principle atated. by Mr. Wigmore, which as he
aaya Ju•tifies as right the decision in the Boyd case, though the
ob1ttr dictwp in that case was wronc.
But it the court meant to
aay in that case that it would be in oontraTention of the 5th
amendment to admit in evidence on a trial of the accused evidence which
was obtaine4 by a search warrant which was unlawM because in violation
of the 4th amendment, concerning aearche• and seizurea, then, with
all deference to that great court, I should have to reject the authority

The court does point there to the fact that
1ec. 10 of our Constitut ion, relating to searches and seizurea, ia not
identical ly the same aa the 4th amendment, and
•1l•
it aaya the act
of 1920 relating to 1earoh warrants (Acta 1920 P• 516) puts into our
statute law much of what i s in the 4th amendment to the U.
s. Constitu-
tion, but it does not follow that the court would give to a mere
statute the construct ion that it would give to the same or a similar
provision in the Constitut ion, or that, if it were to do so, it would
adopt the c 1 tr 1ct j.on g iven by the U. s. Supreme Court to the 4th
amendment to the hderal Ccnstitut ion, a construct ion. wh ich our Court
and
many othe~s have diaa~prov ed and rejected.
It would have been e asy for the General Assembly to declare in the
Act of 1920, relating to search •arrant •, that evidence obtained under

The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964.

The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.

Rockingham County Prohibition Records: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.

��INSTRUCTION NO.
The Court instructs the jury that where the prosecutio n
relies upon circumsta ntial evidence alone for a conviction the
jury must be satisf ied beyond a rea sonable doubt that the crime
has been committed by some one in manner and form as charged in
the indictmen t and then they must not only oe satisfied that all
the ciroumstan oes proved are consisten t with the def endants
having committed the act but they must also ·be satisfied that the
facts
are such as to be inconsiste nt with any other rational
oonolusio n than that the def endants are the guilty persons. If
there is any one single fact proved to the satisfacti on o~ the jury
by a preponder ance of the evidence which is inconsiste nt with the
defendant s' guilt, this is sufficien t to raise a reasonabl e doubt,
and the jury shoula. acquit the. defendant s.
In order to justify
the inf erence o~ legal guilt f rom circumsta ntial evidence the
existence of inculpato ry facts must be absolutely inoompa~i ble with
the innocence of the accused upon any rational theory and incapable
of explanatio n upon any other reasonabl e hypothesi s than that of
t heir guilt.
