Manuel Villa Arrested on
His Team in Montpelier
This Morning
AFTER WHICH PLACE
IN BARRE WAS RAIDEDI
At Latter Place Officers Got
Big Quantity Of Liquor;
Also from Team

One of the biggest raids in several
years was pulled off by officers from
police headquarters and the sheriffs' de-
partment this forenoon, when several
barrels and few boxes of wet goods
were seized at the home of Manuel Villa,
otherwise known as big Charlie on
West street. The seizure was made on
a warrant issued by Grand Juror Hugh
Fl. Carpenter and followed closely on
the heels Of Villas arrest in Montpelier.
Chief of Police Sinclair, Officers Harry
Gamble and George X. Carle and Deputy
Sheriff A. M. Morrison made thorough
search Of Villas barn at $50 North Main
street as well as his West street home.
The alleged contra band goods were found
at the house and the search on North
Main street was frsltless.
This morning soon after o'clock,
Villa was arrested in Montpelier by
Sheriff Frank H. Tracy. 1t is said that
Villa had teamload of whiskey and 9TH
er spirituous liquors with him at the
time. The goods We're seized and Villa
was held until Grand Juror Carpenter
was notified Later the warrant for !.
search of Villas house and barn in Barre
was issued and the raid followed. Most
of the stuff found on West street is
said to be stronger than beer,
Villa will probably be asked to at
tend hearing in city court, on the in
toxicating liquor found at his house. His
arrest in Montpelier was made on
selling charge. In county court few
weeks ago Villa paid a $500 fine for
selling and received a sentence of nine
months. The latter was suspended,
however, and he was placed in charge
of Probation Officer Charles A. Smith.
The probationary period has not ex-
pired.
