Most of these fellows live off the
Illicit sale or manufacture of liquor
and when their fines are pronounced
they pay them without a word. glad
to escape going TO jail. so they can 90
back to traficing. Some Of these fell
lows have been operating stills that
have been netting them a profit OF a

should they object to an $50 or $3.50

OF the Gary court.

This method Of punishment only
makes its all the harder for US to

they bring in plenty of liquor law
