 In many cases the men had the so- called Morelite lens on their cars, and oth- CTS had painted the lenses dark color. l The inspectors explained that these Morelite lens were banned by the state. If the lenses Of a car are painted, black paint should be used on the inside of the lens so as not to wear off and permit l the light to shine through. The paint should also cover half the lens.

 had told Chief Killourey that Keane was l the man who supplied the liquor on the l day of the raid.

 and told the story of the raid. He said
 he had found an Essex roadster back l of McQuillan's place on Mlin street.
