aIistss Performance IN nsAs-
AHaAa.

Old Billy PrittA, for years king Of the
moonshine gang operating in Somerset
and Fayette counties, Pennsylvania, Is
the latest star to fash upon the histri-
onic armament. After living for 40
years n an outlaw with price on his
head. Pritts was run down and cap
tured by revenue ofiicers last August.
Aided by his two sons. he stood iege
for nearly day and was wounded In
the leg before he surrendered. sAys a
southern exchange.
Pritts was taken to Uniontown,
where he was held for trial IN the
United States district court. His pa
trjarchal appearance 10 impressed sew
eraI Of the towns business men that
they went on his bail bond. He was at
Uniontown when he first saw play.
He was greatly impressed. The prodnc.
ton was one OF the melodra matte type
and showed life In the wilds Of the Ten
messed mountains. A battle with moon
sinners was one of the features of the
play.
II was at the height Of the battle that
Pritts laid the foundation for his stage
C3feeIs AaT PASy NS0h6 AANSAs
were being slowly overwhelmed by the
revenue officers when Pritts, with the
experience Of an old eampaigneF, saw
an opening. Leaping from his seat no
yelled:
4Look out. boysi They're comm up
hshindl Give IL to 'em back through
the brushi"
pritts made the hit Of the evening. A
Pittsburgh theatrical man who was IN
tAe audience hunted up the old noon
sAiner after the perfurmancc and made
- N effer. He explained ths nature
IN stAge work. and offered him moro
money each week than the ldman had
ever seen In . bunch in his life. Pritts
was delighted.
II guess" he said, sorrowfully, II
cant ever go back TO my 'stiliin' agin,
an / reckon the money will como In
handy. Whot'll have to do?"
"Do?" responded the theatrical man.
*why. just what you've always been
doing. You'll be my leading man. I'll
get up play and have you make
whisky on the stage. There'll be a bat
tie with revenue officers, and you'll save
the heroine's life and be pardoned and
live happy ever after"
"But," said Billy. with grin, II don't
think Ill be pnrdoned. They caught me
dead and guess I'm in Tor itj'
"Oh. but ths play will come after"
said the theatrical man. AFTER you've
served your time. you know"
II can't understand" Billy went on.
They tell me It is agin the law 70 make
whisky. That's what I'm arrested for.
Wouldn't 1t be agin the law to make It
on the stage as well as any other place?
Then II I'm to fght the officers every

After the malce-beheve features Of
the business were explained Britts
agreed to sign . contract

that Is just the thing" he raid. Good
for 60 gallon any day. I'll have 'er

Thus the new theatrical star wus dis
