WHISKEY AUTOMOBILE
CAUGHT IN ALBANY
SHERIFF TURNER NOTIFIED TO
BE ON LOOKOUT FOR FORD
LOADED WITH BOOZE.

Saturday Sheriff Turner received
telephone message from Sheriff
Christian to be on the lookout for a
Ford automobile loaded with whiskey
that the Webster county sheriff sus-
pected was speeding its way from a
point in Florida in charge of two
Webster county men, who were
bringing the spirits to Webster cOun-
ty for illegal sale. Sheriff Turner
Immediately notified his deputies
throughout the county and posted
them at convenient points, but the
automobile did not show up for the
reason that it was captured IN Al
bany. The Albany Herald tells the
following storv of the capture:
Liquor traffic by automobile be-
tween GASES in Florida and desert
spots in Georgia was interfered with
Saturday night, when Ford loaded
with spirits was seized here. ). K. j.
Drew, the alleged owner of the car
and whiskey, and P. V. Perry, the
driver, were arrested. Drew made
bond yesterday afternoon in the sum
of 81, 900, but Perry is still in jail.
Sheriff Christian of Webster coun-
tv and Sheriff Harvey of Sumter
county came to Albany Saturday af-
ternoon, having got tip on the ex-
pected movement of spirits IN the
auto. Warrants were sworn out here
and the two sheriffs with Policemen
Collins and Minis took up their posi-
tons on the east side of the Flint
river bridge.
The car came along shortly after 8
o'clock, and it was halted and board
ed. The officers found seven full
cases and "a loose bottles of Cream
of Kentucky" whiskey. The Ford
was an old model and the top was
down, the curtains being spread over
the whiskey. The men were locked
up and the whiskey was stored. Pros
ecution will be made in this county.
According to the officers Drew and
Perry live in Richland, just across
the Webster line in Stewart. Drew
owns a large farm in Webster coun-
tv. and it is said was taking the whls-
KEY to that county. The whiskey had
been shipped to an express ofhce just
across the line in Florida.
Officers have suspected since May
LIST that this method was being re-
sorted to to get whiskey into Geor-
gia, but this is the first arrest made
here.
