MRS, POTEET SUES
WILLIAMS FOR $4,000
Mercer Woman Claims Chief Pro.
hibition Man Searched Her
Home Illegally For Liquor

Chief Prohibition Officer Paul Will
liams, of Lexington, has been made
defendant in a suit for $4,000 filed
in the Mercer county court by Mrs.
w. ]. Poteet, of Harrodsburg, Who
charges that Mr.. Williams and H. S..
Milton, manager of the d. L. Moore
distillery, who is made codefendant,
Illegally searched her home for whis-
ky stolen from the Moore disti1lery
thought to have been concealed on
her premises.
Harrodsburg citizens say that on
the day following the robbery num-
Der of government men and secret
service officers went to Harrodsburg
to follow up every clew that might
lead to the discovery of the identity
of the thieves. One of the places
searched, it is said, was the home of
Mrs. Poteet, but prohibition officers
say that they found no liquor there.
Mrs. Poteet, through her attorney,
Col. E. H. Gather, informed the de-
PENDANTS in the present suit of her
intentions, but neither of the men
would reveal any plans with regard
to their future actions.
A Harrodsbug communication says:
"Mrs. Poteet is member of the
most fashionable and aristocratic sets
in this city, and her home, Avalon
Court, is a handsome old Colonial
type fronting on Main street, and
two other streets. Mrs Poteet is the
widow of w. j. Poteet, who was coun-
ty clerk of Mercer county for many
years and identified with the best
business life of Harrodsburg. Her
first husband, John NJ. Moberly, was
a nephew of Beriah Magoffin, Ken
tucky's war governor. Mrs. Poteet is
prominently connected in this vicin-
ity and also in Washington, D. c.,
and belongs to some of the fashion
able clubs there.
"Mr. Milton is brother-in-law of
ID. l.. Moore, Lawrenceburg, owner of
the distillery which was robbed. He
is a graduate of Princeton University
and was in some of the classes taught
by President Woodrod Wilson. Due to
the prominence of all concerned no
suit that has ben filed here in a long
time has aroused such interest"

BOCCS WANTS TO USE
CONV|CTS ON ROADS
State Road Commissioner to Test
In Court Right To Use Them
When Needed

The State Highway Commission will
file suit this week against the State
Board of Charities and Corrections to
compel the board to furnish the COM
mission $50 convicts to be used on the
public highways.
Recently the commission authorized
Joe S. Boggs, State Highway Engi-
neer, to purchase equipment for 500
convicts, to be employed in road work.
Engineer Boggs made requisition on
the State Board of Charities and
Corrections for the convicts, but the
board declined to comply with the re-
QUESTION on the grounds that the men
were not available.
1t is the intention of the State Hig-
way Commission to maintain the road
camps in winter and to work 500 men
the year around.
Mr.. Boggs said that the commission
is planning to establish permanent
road camps. Experience with eight
camps this year has satisfied him that
prisoners can be employed success
fully in highway contraction at $1.50
the day. He and Joseph P. Byers,
commissioner of public institutions,
have conferred on the subject.
Commissioner Byers desires to
avoid the expense of sending men
out early in the spring and return
ing them to prison in the fall and
the attendant disorganization of the
prisons, as well as disorganization
of the contractors plans by filling
their shops for five months in the
winter and then leaving them short
handed for the other seven months
They have agreed on the general
policy for permanent camps, which
now hinges on the outcome of tn
suit.
than two-thirds the number of men
their contracts call for. This is due
partly to reduction in the prison
population and partly to the fact
that so men are working roads in
Harlan, Pike, Rockcastle, Owen, Hen
ry, Cumberland, Metcalfe and Bath
counties.
1t requires bout 10 per cent of
the prison population for duty in
the kitchens, engine rooms, dining
rooms, hospitals, barber shops and
offices, and for TRUSTEES" The state
has contracts for 1925 men and a
prison population of 1,133.
The contractors at the reforlnatory
are Hoge- Montgomery Company,
500; Reliance Manufacturing Compa
ny, 400; Frankfort Chair Company,
125. Eddyville penitentiary, Reliance
Manufacturing Company, 300; Ken
lucky Whip and Collar Company, 300;
Myer-B Bridges Company, 100.
