A REMARKABLE CASE.
The Confession and Charges of an Illicit
DistilIer.


Especial telegram 10 the Dispa,ch.l
DANv1LIE, Va. December TT. II. Park,
of Caswel, n. c., was before United
States Commissioner Coleman to-day upon
warrants charging him with having con-
spired with g. j. Warmer to detraud the
Government by selling whiskey upon which
the tax had not been paid while he park
was United States gauger and storekeeper.
Warmer played the part of an informer,
and when put on the stand testified that he
ran a still IN Caswell county and that PARK
while United States gauger was his silent
partner and colluded with him in manu-
featuring and selling illicit whiskey: that
he afterwards sold out to Park, and Park
continued to conduct the still in WARMERS
name and stored large quantity Of whis-
kew in the warehouse, where Warmer also
had quantity Of liquor; that Park pro-
posed TO remove the liquor and then ire
the warehouse. and that the warehouse
was afterwards destroyed by fire. Warmer
is young man of good appearance, and
his confession on the witness-stand that he
had robbed the Government was most re-
voting. Park is a man of good standing,
and denies IN toto all of Warmers charges.
The case was sent ON TO the grand jury.
