With the apprehension of Alonzo Col
Inns, William H. Nichols and James H.
Jones, all colored. of Seaford, on Satur-
day night by State Detective Elijah J.
Lynch Of Selbyville and Sheriff William
O. Johnson Of this town, it is believed
that the bootlegging business around
Seaford has been lessened. Each one is
confined in the Sussex county Jail in de-
fault of $1,000 bail for the June term Of
court upon a charge Of having more whis-
key than is allowed by law, and also for
the robbery of the express office at
Rhodesdale, Md. Since certain points in
Maryland within the past few weeks have
had a ban placed on them as points for
the consignment Of liquor from Baltimore
and other citles, Sussex Countans have
been having their packages go to Rhodes
dale, Md Hundreds Of gallons of gaso-
line are burned in machines weekly in
going to and from this station to get the
fire water" Within the past month it
is alleged that the Rhodesdale station has
been broken into three times and guam
tity of liquor in excess of one hundred
quarts taken therefrom. The three ne
groes are believed to be the ones who
have been engaged in the robberies since
several cartons bearing names Of persons
who had consignments made to Rhodes
dale were found by the officers. Sussex
county authorities were tipped off. it is
said, by Daniel Corkran, whose team was
been stolen on two occasions for the pur-
pose. it is believed, in smuggling the
whiskey into this county. The team pre-
viously had been traced to within two
miles of Seaford where it seems to have
been liberated and returned home. This
served as clue and certain evidence OBJ
taned by the officers caused them to
make a trip to the woods where it was
believed the stolen whiskey was being
kept Keeping under cover on Saturday
for several hours the officers awaited the
arrival Of the negroes, having evidence in
hand that several cartons which had been
emptied had been found as well as pack
ages of whiskey not broken into. When
the negroes arrived on the scene and
started to go away with their loot, they
were surrounded and at the point Of pis-
tolls forced to surrender. They were car
ried before Justice Of the Peace James K.
