Greenwood had a fire this morning
without a fire. Soon after seven

YEAR AND A DAY
J. W. Grider of Sonora Goes to
 Federal Prison.

N' @t'AA'A'f eN~y
 der. of Sonora. Ark, was sen tenced by Judge Frank A. You mans in the United States dis trict court on Saturday morning to serve a year and day in the federal penitentiary at Leaven- worth. Kan. for complicity in the Rush distillery moonshine frauds. Grider was employed at the dis tillery by the internal revenue department as store-keeper. He was indicted with score of others, owners, employees and revenue officials, charged with conspiracy against the govern ment. Grider is the tenth per- son to receive a prison sentence in this case. The defendant pleaded guilty last month, but sentence was deferred.
 Grider started Saturday night for Leavenworth in custody of Phil Ross, deputy marshal. In speaking of the sudden death of Knox Booth, of Nashville, Tenn. the revenue agent who confessed and exposed the moon sinners, Grider said
 ..I had talk with Booth the night before he left this city af ter testifying before the grand jury. I have heard many reports implying that his death was not a natural one. But l place no credence in them. He was sick when here that time as he was having serious trouble with his stomach.
 In that=last talk. continued Grider. Knox Booth stated to me that in his confession to tn government in the Fort Smith cases, he had referred only to the men charged with eompIieitF. who had either corrupted or be- traFed him and to no others. Ks for myself the pronouneement of sentence today k relief to me. 1 mean now to put1Re whole af= fair behind me-unless the gov ernment may bring ne back here as witness.
 Suppressed Violations.
 Grider then turned his thought to the old days of his service as a revenue officer He related the incidents of Kentucky case which he was instrumental in exposing a crooked distillery the result of which the government mulcted the offenders in tile sum of $23000 as reimbursement in revenues As he spoke. Grider had magazine in his hand which he was twisting back and forth. and as memories of his more r@- cent official experiences came to him he threw the book with force upon the table and ex- claimed:
 And after that record of past service, it is crushing to think of this Fort Smith matter and what 1t has brought to me. Ny connection with it was knowl- edge of what they were do- ing. and keeping that knowledge to myself. But what place l was put in Guy Hartman and his associates got me by showing me everyone ot those letters which they were getting from Booth and my superior officers. l did not know what to do. If I reported what l knew. some of those officers would have made a kind of investigation which would protect them and which would have broken ne.
 = As for going to Leayenworth. If my commitment papers were given me l would take them and surrender myself at Leavenworeh for l want to wipe out the score and put 1t all behind me. ;
