MADE BLOCKADE WHISKY.
\ handsome Young Woman Sent to Jail
for MOOnshiniug In Florida

Pensacola. Fla. April 23.--Mary
Sharp, handsome young woman, was
sentenced by Judge Swayne. i'm the
United States court today, to pay a
fine Of $500 and serve eighteen months
in the penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio
BY the woman's side was her husband
William Sharp, who received a similar
sentence.
The cOuola We're convicted of Illicit
distilling, having operated in Jackson
county for several years, giving the rev.
enue officers more trouble than any
other moOnshiners in the state.
Mrs. Sharp was the brains of the
combination and by her ability she
flooded West Florida with blockade
whisky and at the same time eluded
detection. The government has spent
hundreds Of dollars trying to secure
evidence to warrant the couples arrest,
but Mrs. Sharp was too shrewd for the
revenue agents.
Once a spy visited her home and be-
ing very pretty Mrs. Sharp induced him
to fall In love with her and for nearly
a year she made the governments paid
agent dispose Of the Illicit liquor made
by her husband and herself
Mrs Sharp's success. however, made
her careless and last January the rev.
enue officers came upon her and her
husband as they were distilling whisky
in dense swamp.
Mrs. Sharp showed fight. Seizing a
rife she sent a bullet through one Of
ficer, but before she could fire again
the officers took the gun. Then she
drew knife from her bosom and
slashed another officer.
She has always claimed that she
would have whipped the officers if her
husband had aided her. Mrs. Sharp's
father was an expert sinner and when
she was a little girl she aided him. She
received her sentence stoically. The
couple have no children, but they have
q comfortable fortune accumulated
from the profits Of the moonshine in
