CHASE FOR MOONSHINER.
Cr0zcd IN Pitt-st. Has 1musing
Experience.

Revenue Agent Sinsel and Mr.. Fellows, United
States gauger had a thrilling chase after fleeing
moonshner yesterday afternoon and for the time
being furnished Pitt-st with no end Of wonder
The moonshfnersa appearance was picturesque. He
was below medium height rather stockily built
and wore beard that covered his face like mask
and spread his chest like an opened ian. III
jet black and it covered his face so that only
his eyes and nose were visible. His coat was long
and reached to his knees, and upon his head was a
peculiarly shaped silk hat of the vintage OF 49, On
one foot he wore what had at one time been
patent leather Shoe while the other foot was
heavy policemans shoe.
When taken before United States Commissioner
Shields in the Federal Building. the alleged moon
sinner said his name was Solomon Oxandler he
understood he declared with his hand on his heart
nothing but German, but when a German IN
terpreter was brought he switched his language to
Yiddish and by the time Hebrew interpreter was
found he suddenly discovered he had forgotten
that and that Russian-only Russian-could he
speak He held in $500 bail for further ex-
animation.
In that very mysterious way known only to the
revenue men Agent sinsel learned yesterday that
an Illicit still was being operated in building in
the rear of No. 58 Wilett-st. Together with Colonel
Fellows, he visited that number. and in the rear
found a little two story brick building, occupied,
they were told, by d Jewish school. Investigation
proved this to be true. and the ground floor
they found a little rabbi. busy with a flock OF
Jewish children With look of horror the little
rabbi denied that any part of the premises could
be used for making "schnaaps An investigation
proved the contrary. After stout oaken door had
been forced twin copper still of seventy-hve gal
Ions capacity found. Near by stood ten bar

hoping he would return. Then they decided TO get
some luncheon. AS they passed through P1tt-st
they met a who the proud possessor OF q
black beards that reached almost to his waist, and
so wide that. it covered his entire shirt front.
Surely. thought the revenue men, there cannot be
two such boards even on the East Side. where
boards are notably long and wide. Then happy
thought struck Mr.. Snsel.
Mr.. Oxandler," he called.
The with beard paused and half turned
round. He took only one glance, but that glance
told him who the were, for their pictures
have been freely distributed on the East Side;
The beard fed wildly up Pitt-st, with Mr.. Snsel
and Colonel Fellows in pursuit The fugitive's
footsteps made peculiar sound, the patent leather
shoe striking the sidewalk noseleSsly. while the
'poIice" shoe struck the pavement with the thump
of a wooden leg. After three blocks had been COW
cred the fugitive caught by Sinsel who seized
Oxandler's beard as it flew behind. When told that
he would have lose his WhiskerS at Sing Sing
Oxandltr protested vigorously.
