Significant Testimoney Offer
ed in Bootlegger Case.
WESTMORELAND HELD
BY U. S. COMMISSIONER
Direct Evidence Heard in Fed
eral Prosecution of Illicit
Whiskey Selling at Camp
of Lock and Dam.
Chattanooga Times;

Chattanooga Times:
w. P. Westmoreland. the Marion
county deputy sheriff, whose hearing
on the charge of retailing whisky at
the lock and dam construction camp
without government license took
place Friday before United States
Commissioner l. A. Vincent, was
bound over to the federal court under
a bond of So, 900, and the case will be
tried at the next term of court which
will be held in November
The bond was signed by W. P.
Westmoreland, 81. M. Westmoreland,
sheriff of Marion county and brother
of the defendant, and w. ID. Spears,
one of the counsel for the defense.
J. B. Cox, of Knoxville, the
United States district attorney was
present to carry on the prosecution.
II will be remembered that West
moreland was arrested Friday, June 3,
at the lock and dam camp at Hale s
bar in a raid made there by the Unit
ed States revenue officers under the
charge of w. P. Seaton, who was sent
to the camp by Knox Booth, the Unit
) ed States revenue agent at Nashville,
for the purpose of rounding up the al
legged bootleggers said to be doing bus
mess there. With him were arrested
one other white man, Rube Green,
who was recently released as being the
wrong man, and three negroes, Guy
Williams, Sumpter James and Albert
Hughes. who are still in Jail here.
Westmoreland was then deputy sher-
iff of Marion county, serving under his
brother.
The hearing of the case was begun
before the commissioner last Saturday,
at which time only one witness was
examined, a negro man, Robert Il.
Hill. and the case was then continued
till Yesterday in order that the United
States district attorney, Mr.. Cox,
might be present to take the govern
ment' s side of the case.
Only five witnesses were presented
yesterday by the government, all OF
them negroes and all women except
one. The defense presented mo evil
dence whatever, preferring to hold
back it's side of the case until the court
trial. Westmoreland was represented
by Attorneys Spears and Lynch. The
trial took place in the federal court
room, beginning at 9:3O o'clock.
The four negro women who were ex-
amined-Mattie Roberts, Maggie
Greene, Ida Belle Robinson and Henri
eta Jones' testified that they had sold
whisky at the lock and dam camp and
had divided the profits of their sales
with Westmoreland, who, it was
claimed, had used his Office as a depu-
ty sheriff to demand such a division.
The evidence also showed that in some
cases the sales were carried on by
Westmoreland and one or two of the
women on partnership basis, each
putting in an equal amount of capital

and sharing the proceeds on half and
halt schedule.
The testimony also tended to show
that Westmoreland was carrying on the
whiskey business on quite a large
scale, being in partnership with many
retailers, who peddled the wares about
the camp. Others instead of deliver
ing the bottles from house to house, 1t
was said, kept regular stands, one of
them being on a house boat. The wit
nesses also claimed that Westmoreland
never lost his part of the profits, al
ways coming around at regular inter
walls to collect. One of them, Maggie
Greene, testified to having presented
him with $40 on one Sunday morning
as his share of the money received
from one barrel of whisky.
According to the testimony. the pro-
fits of the liquor sales were enormous.
1t was stated that the whiskey was
bought on most occasions in barrels,
for which the bootleggers paid $22.
The barrels contained 100 pint bottles,
which were retailed at 75 cents each,
netting a profit, allowing So for freight
and drayage to the camp, of $50 ON
each barrel, Out of each barrel sold,
Westmoreland, it was sworn, received
$25 as his share.
The whisky was purchased from one
of the leading liquor houses of this
city, and was shipped to the camp by
freight, being consigned to. various
names.
Instead of presenting any witnesses
for their side of the case, the defense
merely sought to weaken the testimony
of the governments witnesses by
bl leaking down their characters. All
of the women testified that they were
living at the camp with men who
were not their husbands and that they
made their living principally by sell
ing whisky and carrying on other ne
farious pursuits.
In connection with the bootlegging
cases at the lock and dam, one other
negro, charged with being partici-
pant in the business, was arrested in
this city Thursday night by United
States Marshal Tom Ray, of Rock
wood. The nergo's name was Jasper
Mahomes. When taken before Com
missioner Vincent he submitted his
case and was bound over to court.
He is now in the county Jail. Officer
Day, who made the arrest, returned
Thursday from Scott county, where he
has been for some days as the leader OF
raid against some bootleggers there.
He relieved Deputy George Gresham,
who had been sent here by the United
States marshal to help Deputy P. w.
