Cincinnati, Ohio, and its removal by wag-
ons at night commenced. Twelve barrels
were thus delivered to Sausser & Co., soon
after which the parties to the fraud be-
coming alarmed. aud fearing that search
would be made, hastily removed the whis-
ky concealed in the Malt House and stable
to Chris. Miller's Soap Factory, when
clumsy attempt at conceaiment was made.
An attempt to obtain wagons to remove
the whisky from the Soap Factory to Gin
cinnati having failed, and knowledge Of
its location being in the possession of sew
eral persons, denouemsnt was inevitable.
But from the fact that the illicit whisky
had been removed from the distillery
premises, the evidence Of the fraud care
fully concealed or oblierated, and mate
rial witnesses spirited away, for time
after investigations we're begun. it seemed
almost impossible'to Fix the responsibility
where it properly belonged.
