Raid on Citizens of Monroe
County tor Illicit Distilling.


A Raid on Citizens of Monroe
County TOR Illicit Distilling.
Deputy Marshal Fl. B Hill, of Mon
roe County, broughtto this city yester-
day three citizens of that county who
were indicted by the last United States
Grand Jury for illicit taistilling. Their
names are William Yost, Christian Cats
and William H. Rutter. All three were
committed TO Jail in default of $1,000
bail each. There was a fourth one in
dicted from the same neighborhood, viz
Peter ScLlabaagh, but he was too i'll to
be brought along. There is a history
to these cases that is rather pitiable.-77
None of the men indicted seem to have
been cognizant ofsdoing wrong, Cats
is poor man with five or six children
to- support He consulted q lawyer
about the matter Of dislilling for bis
own use, and was told that the law al.
lowed him to- distill in quantities. not
more than sixty gallons. Thereupon
he learned from man named Parker
how to make apple jack from cider, and,
rigging up an old pan still, tmanufactur-
ed several gallons of the liquor for his
own use. os't
Rutter is young man, who also be-
came possessed .of7the apple-jack dis
tilling mania. He, too,. was informed
by lawyer that be could lawfully dis
till in quantities not exceeding sixty
gallons Being a little careful, howev-
er, he next wrote to Mr.. Kessinger, Col
lector of Revenue in that District, for
Instructions This letter was not ans
wered, anil he wrote sgain, saying he
wanted to .aislill some apple jack for his
own use, and asked to be registered =
Thereupon he went ahead with his dis
thllng. = "a TU 81 rePis e.......,t. fs:,.ss

extensively inii several stills under. his
house, but had never sold any Of the
production. The most pitiable of the
cases is that of Schlabaugh. He is an
old infirm man of nearly seventy, who
has been an invalid for forty years. He
lives in the, most wretched poverty, and
distilled a few gallons of apple jack
with which to take some medicine, be-
ing too poor to buy the whisky. An
indictment was found against him, too,
but being very ill, he could not be
