Bootleggers and bootlegging sus-
Tects gathered up by the county, in
the recent campaign. will be investi-
gated ry the federal authorities, ac-
cording to a statement made by
United States Attorney Thomas A.
flvnn yesterday. Seven names will
be presented to the grand jury by
his office. out of a list of sixteen
submitted by the internal revenue de-
partment.
Selling liquor without having paid
TIE governments special tax is to
be the charge preferred in these
cases. In discussing the cases, Mr..
Flynn brought out an odd phase III
that bootleggers who We're formerly
in the liquor business, and whose
special taxes are paid up until the
end of the fiscal year in June, need
not fear prosecution by the United
States, no matter how much they
may get in bad with the state au-
thorites
The indictments in the majority OF
the cases will depend on whether
or not it can be proven that the
defendants have been carrying on
the business of selling liquor.
Whether one or two isolated sales
unbeatable under the prohibition
amendment will be the basis for a
true bill under the federal nterpre-
tation, remains to be seen. Records
of convictions from the superior
court will probably not be accepted
by the federal court as proving the
sale of liquor as a regular business
unless other circumstances enter tC
confirm the facts sought by the u. S
prosecutors.
Those whose names We're writer
on reports handed in by the inspect
ors under the internal revenue de-
partment were Carlos Blanco, Henry
Rosenstein. George Mullen, Jack Nc.
Cord, j. f. Sanders, Denny Taught
George Holmes and Al Acosta.
