HAAG AND HAAG
BOOZE STOCK Is
SEIZED BY u. S.
Federal Court Orders It's
Transfer From Custody
of Sheriff.
REvIvEs OLD QUESTION

The public is finally to learn what has
become of the 5000 store of booze
seized at the North Pennsylvania street
drug store Of Louis E. Haag and Julius
A. Haag in raid Jan. 10, 1919.
The Federal Court today issued moni-
tion to United States Marshal Mark
storen to seize the liquor from sherifr
Robert E. Miller and to bring r~fnto the
custody OF the Federal cart.
A petition for such Gn order was filed
in the Federal CouR by Frederick Van
Nuys, United States district attorney,
several weeks ago.
The Haag brothers were sentenced in
Federal Court to serve eighteen months
in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta,
and to pay heavy fines on charges Of
eonspiracy and Of violation OF the Reed
amendment, which prohibits the trans
portation Of booze into dry state
Federal seizure OF the liquor recalls the
question Of how the liquor got into the
custody Of the sheriff
ADAMS STATEMENTS
BROUGHT Up QUESTION.
The question arose Aug. 10. when Claris
Adams, Marion County prosecutor. made
the statement that the booze had been
transferred from the police to the sheriff.
Section % Of the State prohibition Saw
provides that liquor seized on search
warrant shall remain In the custody Of
the Selling officer, who In this case was
former Chief Of Police George V. Coffin.
The liquor was kept at police head
quarters for a time and then by agree
ment was moved TO the county jail. still
ostensibly under the custody OF the chief
of police
when, during the pendency Of the case
against the Haags In Criminal Court
Special Judge WIN Sparks. upon repre-
sentations OF Claude Worley, investigator
for the prosecutors Office, ordered the
liquor transferred 70 the custody OF the
sheriff Judge Walter Pritchard Of City
Court ordered the chief Of police to re-
tain the custody.
Judge Sparks rescinded his order after
the provision OF Section 20 WAS pointed
out 10 him.
From that time until Mr.. Adams an
nounced Il was In the hands Of the
sheriff, It was generally supposed that
the liquor was IN the custody Of the
chief Of police.
