Distilling Apparatus Found In His

Been Used for DistilIing

ARREST CAUSED LOSS OF WORK.

But House Was Raided for Other
Reasons, When Alleged yest.Pocket
Still Was Found.

J. F. Crudup. until recently fore
man of C. F. Sauer's farm on Broad
Street road. was dismissed yesterday
by United States Commissioner Fles-
enheimer. on the charge of illicitly
distilling whiskey. Crudup was ar
rested on the night of August 20. by
officers Sweet Allen and Lumpkin.
The impression gained at the time
was that Crudup had been under
suspicion for some time as a moon
sinner, but officer Sweet said yester-
day that he had never been suspected
OF distilling until the apparatus was
discovered in the bathroom OF his
home.
The farm house had been under
the surveillance for some time for
other reasons. man and woman
were arrested and taken before Jus
tice Crutch1eld on August 81. when
they were released on bail for ap-
pearance September list,
Upon his release yesterday. Crudup
expressed himself vehemently con-
corning the alleged pernicious activ-
ity Of the purity squad. saying they
had no cause to raid his home and
that It was a put up job He said
he had lost his position as a result
OF the arrest and that he was treated
with no consideration by officers Of
the Second Police station. where he
was locked up the night of the ar
rest, and was allowed to use the tele-
phone only once. although he wished
to call up several OF his friends In
an effort to secure bail.
Oficer Sweet said last night that
the man was not arrested primarily
for making whiskev. but for conduct
ing a disorderly house. In the course
OF the customary search of the prem
tses, the alleged "vest-pocket still
was discovered In the bathroom Of
the house and a small quantity OF
what was believed to be home made
liquor was found on another floor.
At his trial. Crudup contended
that he used the apparatus to distill
water for his ailing chickens. but had
abandoned 1t altogether as ne found
II impracticable He said that he
always kept whiskey in the house for
medicinal purposes and that ne had
never disposed OF it, either by gift
or sale Crudups chief complaint
seemed to be that the police seemed
to regard him as guilty as soon as he
was arrested. instead OF assuming the
proper attitude that every man is in
nocent until proved otherwise.
