Prohibition Court Records

I am following up on a Brooklyn newspaper article published in 1923 about a pharmacist who had been brought before Federal Commissioner Hitchcock and accused of possession of counterfeit tax stamps, labels, and doctor's certificates for liquor. From my research, Commissioner Samuel Hitchcock of the Southern District of New York was primarily focused on Prohibition cases at the time. I want to get the court records for this case as well as related prison records.

Should I contact the clerk for the Southern District, or might I need to contact a different court or archive? It appears that NARA has microfilmed the Southern District court records from this period, but I need a way to order copies from a distance and get them as soon as possible. Thanks for any guidance!
