STATES LARGEST
STILL FOUND IN
INDIANA HARBOR

Revenue men yesterday found the
biggest still which has ever been located
IN the county and perhaps in the state
When they made a close search Of the
building az 1918 i57th St, whree John
Ezolaitis had been arrested a few days
ago. Almost a ton OF rye, part OF II in
mash form. had been found on the prem
ises and tho stiil which was said to be
John property but which was found at
a different address was not considered
or capacity equal 20 the amount OF rye
found.
The copper boifcr which served a.
part of the still had > capacity of seven
,y-five gallons aud was estimated to
have distilling Capacity OF from fifty
10 seventy-five gallons a day. Although
large stili, it was not one Of the best
and the whiskey which was turned out
vas not as good as some turned out b.
more complete but smaller stills.
The revenue men conceived the idea
that still must be located in the build
ing from drawings in a little red book
which did not conform 10 the plans Of
the s,ill which was first seized. After
considerable search she still was found
in a false cellar, the floor over which
was removable but which served in the
ordinary course Of events as a base for
the kitchen cook stove. The revenue
mon had 70 move the stove and lift the
floor before they could get to the stili.
It is evident from drawings in the
little red book" that John had made
extensive plans for distilling vhiskev
ana the police and revenue men are still
looking for another outfit which II is
thought he may have located at another
address.
