M0onshIne suaar suppIIes F0rfeIted

Moonshine Sugar Supplies Forfeited
Eight thousand pounds Of sugar, 80
pounds of malt and 80 bushels Of
meal, on trial in the federal court for
several days, were found guilty of
being intended for the manufacture of
moonshine whiskey and declared foe
feited to the government. Their value
was considerably more than $1,000.
The seizure was made September IA,
in Henry McKee's barn in Lumpkin
county, by a number of deputy col
lectors and Deputy Marshal Tom Cur
tbs. Mckee is now serving a term in
Hall county jail for operating dis,
tillery at that time.
The property was claimed by M. M.
Anderson, a Jacksonville merchant,
who asserted that he had stored it f1f-
teen miles from his store because he
feared the road would get bad and he
could not distribute it in that territory
unless it was handy.
During the year 1917 up to Septem-
Der IA, it is alleged, Anderson bought
and had shipped to him S4,484 pounds
of sugar, 1O2,O4S pounds of corn meal,
30,477 pounds of malt and $500 pounds
Of corn. OFFICERS claimed that these
amounts were unreasonable when COM
pared to the size of Anderson's legiti-
mate business.
1t was shown at the trial that about
seventy-fve illicit distiIleries were de-
stroyed in Lumpkin and Dawson coun-
ties during 1917. 1t was contended
by the prosecution that Mckee was
furnishing sugar, meal and malt to
people operating many of these dis
tilleries.
