AS MOON-SHIN
Into Custody on Charge
Mrs. Mary Kajybe Taken
of Bootlegging.
TWO SAMPLES HELD

There always has to be first one

Mary Kajybe, TOO Strong street, who
was arrested this morning as the first
woman "moonshiner" to be taken by
the Kenosha police. She denied the
allegation but she was taken over to
court just before noon to be arraigned
on the charge. Mrs. Kajybe was ar
rested by Chief Of Police Owen O'Hare

result of the police securing two
bottles of moonshine from men who
had been arrested on charges of vio-
lating the minor ordinances of the
city The men, Sigmund Korowsky
and Peter Zeisrnski, both declared that
they had purchased the liquor from
the woman arrested this morning.
Search of Home is Vain.
Chief O'Hare and Detective Rock
made a search of the home of the
woman after her arrest this morning.
The woman was waiting at the police
Office and she laughed Historically
when the officials returned and ad-
mitted that they had found no illicit
liquor in the house. Mrs. Kajybe has
three little children and they were be-
ing cared for by neighbors while she
was settling her troubles over the
"moonshine." The police had the two
bottles of moonshine taken from the
men as evidence in the case. 1t was
said to be an excellent grade-of
moonshine.
Whens arraigned before Judge Tully
in the municipal court this morning,
the woman stated that she had bought
the gallon of moonshine for ten dol
lars and had retailed it for four dol
lars a quart. She claimed that she
was without funds and was unable to
pay the fine of 500 and costs. She
also stated that she had three small
children at home dependant upon her
for support. Judge Tully informed the
woman that she could go home and
clean up herself and that would be
sufficient punishment for her and then
ordered the two men to stand good for
the 800 and costs.
