TWOSTILL RAIDS
HARDON THIRSTY
Source Of Grog Inter
fered With By
Officers

Two sources of some Of the best
grade Of moonshine liquor that has
been coming into Americas for many
months, made in fine class class cop
per stills, were destroyed, at least
for the present, Friday by two raids
Conducted jointly by Sheriff Harvey,
of Sumter county, and Sheriff Chris
tian, of Webster county, assisted
by Deputy Sheriff Summers and City
Marshal Pouneey, of Americas, Mar
shall j. c. Arlington, of Plains. One
Of the stills was taken in Webster
county not far across the Sumter
line, and the other near Americas.
Both were brought here, but the
Webster continuance was taken to
Preston later by Sheriff Christian to
be held as evidence for the grand
jury and courts.
The Sumter officers met Sheriff
Christian Friday morning at Parker's
mill, near the Webster line. They
started westward, drove into Webster
pas tone Of the old Reid places, turn
ed to the left and folls%ed . bind
trail that led through large wood.
Following this ro&d, they finally
came upon Wagon tracks which were
followed to a s%ump. There the st ii
location was foGnd, with four barrels
of beer. A search of the vicinity
revealed a lolag copper worm and
condenser hidden in the weeds, evil
IDENTIFY against theft, but the boiler
was net found. "WNobody was seen
and no arrests maae, .NM
We have all nes&&Sary informa-
| ton, however, as to the owner OF the
still,' said Sheriff harvey Saturday,
and it is the intention to wait I'M
til the Webster grand jury meets,
when all the facts Will be LAID before
it, The case also will be reported to
the federal authorities"
The second raid was made at the
home of Wade Frazier, well known
offender of times gone by, who now
| lives on the farm of A. K. Chunn
miles out on the Friendship road.
A quarter Of a mile fro mthe Frazier
/ home in a pasture, and fenced in to
! protect it from the cattle, was located
| a fine copper stAl Of large capacity
| 1t was located on a creek, and could
be seen distance Of $50 yards. Ii
! was not in operation and no one was
found near it. The outfit was con.
fiscated and brought to the city Fri
, day afternoon along with the Web
ster still, and later Frazer was ar
rested on Forsyth street in Ameri-
Gus. Afterward he made bond OF
5000
Frazier, who not long ago served
jail term under a federal sentence
for making Liquor, moved his family
| the first Of this year from Webster
county not far across the line to the
present home. Sheriff Harvey states
he was notified about three n2ontns
ago that Frazier was then moving
still from his former home to his
new location, but he waited until il
was reassembled and had been put
into operation again before raiding
it.
Both stills, it is said, have been
furnishing plentiful quantities of
liquor in Americas. The Webster
still is said to have been a source OF
supply of a young man who was
caught in making deliveries from q
salesman's auto in Americas a few
weeks ago, several quarts of liquor
being in the car when captured

signs the last day or Sc Of the prls-
oner's weakening. He had asked sew
eral times, it IS stated. if it was true
that his wife had gone back on him,
and he seemed several times on the
verge Of talking about the crime.
When the officers left the jail with
Hudson to take him to the train he
seemed to be in the depths of despon-
dency, and acted almost like man
IN a stupor He did not say word
when the officers went to his cell to
get HIM and escort him to the wait

Now that Hudson has been remov.

ly awaiting further developments,
some believing he will eventually
make a statement throwing light on
the tragedy. 1t is expected that
unless unforeseen developments arise
in the case, Mrs. Hudson will con-
tlnue to be held in the Dougherty

ing her with participation in the muir
der until the grand jury meets and
makes whatever disposition it decides
to make in the case.
In the meanwhile the local officers
propose to continue their search for
clues which will throw additional
light ON the deplorable affair.
