George Washington

Say Federal Police

The name of George Wash
ington again appears in the Off
cial records of the United States
government. 1t is recorded in
connection with transactions
with Indians. Not the signing
of peace treaties with the Red
Men but, federal authorities
claim that George Washington
sold liquor to Indians. The
George Washington in question
is a negro and resides in Albu-
querque. He is charged with
selling liquor to Indians the
night the state went dry. He
declares he is wholly innocent of
the charges, and has entered a
plea of not guilty. The case will
be tried Thursday before Judge
Colin Neblett in the federal
court.
