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.

�CERT IFI CATE NO. 1.
The f ollowing evidence on behalf of the Commomealth and on beha f
of the defendant, respectively, as hereinafter denoted, 1s all o
the evidence introduced on the trial of this case:-
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, YIRGiliIA:
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA
v.
E. L. KLINGSTEIN
Before Honorable H.

For the Defendant:
-
,
E. D. Ott, Esq.,
s. D. Timberlake, Jr., Esq.
�1.
�CERT IFICATE NO . 2 .
After the evidenc e of the Commonwealth was conclud ed,
t he d efendan t moved the Court to strike out said eviden ce upon
the f ollowin g ground s:
{l)
Becaus e it appear s that the bevera ge which the de
fendan t is charged with having in his posses sion does not contai
more than 3.Z per cent. alcoho l by weight , and a bevera ge which
contain s not more than such percen tage of alcoho l has been declared by Congre ss in the exerci se of its paramo unt author ity to
be non-in toxicat ing, and it is not compet ent, trerefo re, for the
State of Vir ~inia to d eclare such beverag e to be intoxic ating;
(2)
Becaus e the inclusi on of a beverag e such as was
found in the posses sion of the defend ant in this case, within the
defini tion of "arden t spir its" contain ed i n the prohib ition law
of this State, commo nif, known as "The Layman Act" and under whic
the inform ation 1n this case is filed, was improp er and illega l
sinc e the Congre ss has define d a beverag e of suc h charac ter and
alcoho lic conten t as non-in toxicat ing and no non-int oxicat ing
liquor can be proper ly classi fied and defined as ardent spirits ;
(3)
Becaus e the defend ant, as a citizen of the United
States , was lawful l y in pmsses sion of the liquor describ ed in th
inform ation in this case, and shown by the eviden ce to have been
rourd in his posses sion and, therefo re, cannot be punishe d for
having such bevera ge in his posses sion.
��{4)
Because trhe prohibition law, commonly known as
"The La-yman Act,• under which the information in this case was
filed is unconstitutio nal in that it contravenes the provisions
of the Constitution of the Unibed States an:i particularly Articl
6, the Fourteenth Amendment and the Eighteenth Amendment;
(5)
Because the prohibision law of tl:e State of Yir-
ginia, commonly called "The Layman Act" under which the inf'oraa-
tion in this case was filed, is unconstitutio nal end void, because it contravenes the provisions of the Constitution of the
state of Virginia in that the Act is broader than its title, a rrl
in that the fines prescribed by said Act are diverted from the
purpose to which the Constititon of the State of Virginia re quires them to be applied.
{6)
Because the evidence in this case fails to show
that the beverage found in the possess ion of tl:e defendant was
not legally acquired by him".
The Court denied this motion and the Defendant, there
upon, excepted.
��CERTI FICATE NO. 3o
At t:00 conclusion of all of the evidence 1n the case,
the defendant again moved the Court to strike out the evidence
of the Commonwealth upon the identical ground s stated in
connection with the motion to strike out the Commonwealth 's Evidence made when the Commonwealth rested its case, but the Court
overruled said motion aid the defendant thereupon excepted.
��CERTIFIC TE NO . 4
Duri n
the d.irect e,x amination of the defendant, t he following
question was asked him :
Foll owing the 9onver s a tion whi ch you had with the attorney t J
whom you have referred , did you discuss the question ofyou r desire to
have the beer with any other officials of the t own?
The Commonwealth ' s Attorney thereupon objected to any answer to
said question and the Court sustained the mbj ection and refus ed to
permit the witnes s to answer , t o which a ction of the Cour t t he defendant excepted upon the
rounds that the evidence is competent as s how-
in g or tending to show t he defend.ant ' s good f a ith and as to whethe r or
not his violation of t he law , if any was made , was intentional or inadvertent .
If the witness had been permitted to answer , he would have testified as follows :
TT
•
Yes , sir , with four members of the council .
Ye s , sir , I
t alked to four members of the counoil and. to ld them as the United States
had le galiz ed 3 . 2 beer t hat I did n ot see why the council d i d not ge t
together and L."e t some revenue out of it for t he Cit y.
We were discuss -
ing finances and automobile licenses and I told then I thought it w uld
be perfectly legal; that they could obtain this revenue by lic ensing
beer in Harrisonburg because t he United States had pas sed t he bill .
Q.
•
•
Who were the members of the eouncil?
[r .
Slater , Mr . Conrad, ]/Ir . Thomas and :Mr . Masters •
Do you know whether a:n.y of these members , f ollo wi ng t his
conversation , did take the ma tter up with the city attorney?

Yes , sir ,

ed his opinion in regar d to the licensing of beer in Harrisonburg and
Mr . Thomas told me th e city att orney said that they would ha ve to talce
the matter up in c-ounc il meeting and the Mayor was not in fa vor of t aking the ma t ter up .

Did all of this take place before you got the b er
from Mr. Soper?

GERTIFIC .TE NO. 5 .
The following instructions , given at the re quest of the Commonwealth and the defendant , respectivel y , a s rereina fter denoted , a. re
all of t .he instructions gr anted on the tri al of the a: a se :-
I NSTRUCTION NO . 1 .
The jury are instruc t ed that if they believe from the evidence
i n this c a se tha t t he li qu i d c ommonly known a s b eer , c onsi s t ing of
34 bottles found in the kitchen in the restaurant of E . L . IO.ings te in , a n d 240 bottles found in the base ment u n der the :Ba rg ain Place
occ.upied by him , or in either place , e:ontained more than one-half
of on e per centu.m of al c ohol by volume , and that s a id be er was in
the po s session of said E . L. Klingstein , then you will find him
guilty.
The above instructi on given on behalf of the
Commonwealth was objected to by the defendant for t r, e re a sons
and upon the grounds given and. assigned in connection with the
moti on to strike out the evidence of the Commonwealt h and i ts
gi v ing was exce pted to by the defendant .
The foll owing ins t ruct ion was g-1 ven on behalf of
t he defendant.
INSTRUCTION NO .
Tf',A !T.
Th e C'ourt instructs the jury that even though they
ma y believe from the e v idence that the defendant had in his
po s session the be e r mentioned in the information filed in this
case and that said beer eontained more than one - ha lf of one per
c ent of alc ohol , yet if they furth er believe from the evidence
that the defendant did not intend to vi~l a te any of t he
provisions of the prohibiti on law , but that trere was an
��uninte nti onal or inadve rtent viol ation thereo f , then the
jury is instruc ted that they may, in their discre tion ,
omit the jail sentenc e, a nd punish the defend. ant simply
by assess ing a fine agains t him within the limits fixed
by statute .

MR. TIMBERLAKE:
We desire to submit a motion t.o the Court:-
NOTE:
The following emo.t:Lone was heard out of the
presence of the jury:
MR. TIMBERLAKE:
we move the Court to strike out the evidence on
behal.f of the Commonvealth in this case upon the .following ground :
( 1)
Because it appears that the beverage which the defendant 1 s
charge d w 1th having in his possession d oes not contain more than
3.2 per cent alcohol by weight, am a beverage which contains not
more than such percentage of alcohol has been declared by Congres ,
in the exercise of its paramount authority, to b e non-intoxicati
and it is not competent, trerefore, .for the State of Virginia to
dec~are such beverage to be intoxicating;
(2)
Because the inclusion of a beverage such as was found in tm
possession of the defendant in this case, within the definition o
"ardent spiritstt contained in the p roh1b1tion law of this State,
commonly known as "The Layman Act" and urner which the informatio
in this case was filed, is improper and illegal sine e the Cong.res
,
��7
E. L. Klingst ein - Direct
has defined a beverage of such charact er and alcohol ic content as
non-into xicating , and no non-into xicating liquor can be properly
classifi ed and defined as ardent spirits;
(3)
Because the defenda nt, as a citizen of tm United ~tates, wa
lawfully in possessi on of the liquor describe d 1n the informa tion
in this case, and s hown by the evidence t o have been found in his
possessi on and, trerefor e, cannot be punished for having such
beverage in his possess ion.
(4)
Because the prohibi tion law, commonly known as nThe Layman
Act", u m. e r which the informa tion in this case wa s filed is unconstitu tional in that it contrave nes the prov lsions of the
Constitu tion of the United states and particu larly Article 5, the
Fourteen th Amendment and the Eightee nth Amendme nt;
(5)
Because the prohibi tion law or the State of Virginia , connnon
ly known as "The Layman Act", under which the informa tion in this
case was filed, is unconst itutiona l and void, because it contravenes the provisio ns of the Constitu tion of the State of Virginia
in th.at the Act is broader tha n i t s title, and in that the fines
prescrib ed by said Act are diverted from the purpose to which the
Constitu tion of the State of Virginia requires them to be applied
(6)
Because the evidence in this case fa i ls to shcm that the bev r-
age found in the possessi on of the defenda nt was not legally acquired by him.
I don't care to go into any exter:ded argumen t.
It is
fundame ntal and element ary that when Congress has the right to do
a thing, it is binding upon all states and the states must act
only within the congres sional legislat ion that has been applied
��e
E. L. Klingstein - D:irect
and we submit, therefore , that the State of Virginia has no right
to prescribe a penalty for the possessio n of a liquid - beer which the Congress of the United States in the exercise of the
authority conferred upon it by the Eighteent h .Amendment has now
said is non-intox icating and also which a citizen of the United
States can legally have in his possessio n.
It is no more compete t
for the State of Virginia to say that a liquid containing one-hal
of one per cent. is intoxicati ng than it would be that one contai ing four per cent. is not intozicati ng.
Does the State of Virgin a
undertake to say that a liquid - - if it should say that a liquid
containing four per cent. is not intoxicat i~, it would be met
at once by the fact that the limit is 3.2 per cent and so, for th
same reason, if the State of Virginia undertake s to class as arde t
spirits that which the Congress, in the exertise of its paramount
authority has said is non-intox icating, then the State must give
way to it :bmnediatel y.
A matter that is now un:ler considera tion
is that the Layman Act makes certain provision s for the application of fines which were directed to be turned over to the Liters y
Fund which has not been done and the state cannot legally levy a
fine dedicated to a certain purpose in this ease against this derendant charged with the violation of it inasmuch as a dedieatio n
of that fine is, ,mquestio nably, unconstit utional ;in that Act
it must do certain things which have not been done and this dedication •s likewise unconstit utional, null and void.
THE COURT:
The motion will be overruled .
MR. TIMBERLAKE: Note our exception .

Please tell the Court and jury how you happen ed

We happe ned to have it becaus e a man came throu
here two or three month s ago and asked if we wanted any beer
I told him I did not believ e I wante d any at that time.
am
think at that time that I could use it and then I talked to aver
promi nent attorn ey here and he told me that, in his opinio n, it
was legali zed to have it in your posse ssion at any point in the
Unite d States and the law was passed by Congr ess and having been
in the servic e, I thoug ht that the laws of the Unite d States were
suprem e, and believ ing them and knowin g that it was going on in
differ ent parts of the count ry and lookin g at the newsp apers and
seeing the pictur es of unload ing beer and having beer. I then
immed iately looked into the matte r a:m.d saw that it was being had
at differ ent places in the valley and all over the state and then
this man asked me if I knew of any one who would handle it and
I told him I thoug ht I would take some and he left fifty cases
over in the basem ent next door which was next door to me - to my
place of busin ess and which I don't own and don't rent and don•t

of it and I got mine in there and when he came beck in a week or
ten days - he does quite a busin ess throug h the state am he woul
collec t for it.
The thirty -four or thirty seven bottle s in my
ice box was Englis h beer am some of it was near beer and the
other beer was my own. This man does busin ess in Penns ylvani a
and runs a truck throug h here sellin g beer.
