and fined him 1925.
Borden has on several occasions

zed by Federal revenue collectors for
the purpose of raiding moonshine
distilleries in Shenandoah County. 1t
appears that he created the impress

stock that he was regular revenue
officer and began looking for viola
tions of the Federal laws.
Several weeks ago, he went into
Heischman's store and found two diff
ferent brands of tobacco in the same
box, the merchant having gotten
them mixed. Borden told Heisch.
man that he would not report this
violation of the revenue law, if the
store-keeper would cancel debt for
merchandise, which the officer (?)
owed him. Heischman agreed and
Borden gave him receipt for the
amount of the account.
The receipt was used in evidence.
Heishman Investigated the matter
and reported it to the authorities.

for the action of the grand jury and
an Indictment was returned Monday.
