R THIRD TIME

Moonshine, .Scholey, a hot air regis
ter and the woman in the fiat below are
responsible for the deportation of
vamping Moonshine Mary to soviet Rus
STA. Mary will be remembered as the
woman who tried to vamp Scholey, De-
tectives Rock and Breidt and another
man on last Saturday morning when
those worthy four raided her home at
los North Fremont and found barrel
of moonshine mash. No moonshine
was found at the time but the moon
shine mash was destroyed by pouring
half gallon of kerosene in the mix
ture.
Mary, however, was arrested for hav-
ing moonshine mash in her possession
and was to be arraigned in municipal
court this morning. Just few min
utes before the judge called Mary's
case the woman who lives in the fiat
beneath came into court with bottle
filled with suspicious mixture. Cru
sading Agent Scholey bounced upon the
bottle and demanded to know where
the liquor came from. And then the
woman in the fiat beneath told the fol-
lowing story.
81 was cleaning up the bath room
this morning when heard drip, drip,
drip. looked at the bathroom fixtures
but could find no leak, when l looked
overhead. This mixture was dripping
from the hot air register above and so
I set dish down and caught the liquid.
It smelled ''boozish" to me and so
brought it down. There has been quita
a number Of parties in the fiat above
and l remember when the officers
raided the place last Saturday morning
and so thought that this would be of
some use to the authorities"
And then Mary was taken into the
private office of Judge Tully with an
Interpreter, Assistant Chief Cyzak:
Judge Clarkson and Detective Rock,
Mary was confronted with the bottls
of liquor but stoutly denied any knowl-
edge Of it until she finally admitted
that she had started to clean the up
stairs. She insisted, however, that the
liquid was not liquor but a floor
cleaner. Her argument did not hold
water with the judge and he called
Pauper Commissioner Saftig into con-
sultation.
Saftig testified that this was the
third time that Mary had been taken
into custody on charge of moonshine
and that at one time he had visited
her home and had to equip her and her
children with clothing. He drew very
startling and disgusting picture of the
condition in which he had found Mary
and her children. Mr.. Saftig testified
that the bed clothing had been so filthy
that it had had to be burned. Mary
was also in very filthy condition and
at the time of her first arrest was en-
crusted with dirt. At one time she
was told by Judge Tully to go home
and use some soap and water on her
children and then come back into court
for arraignment. The children were
almost taken from her at that time on
account Of her negligence.
After listening to the testimony of
the poor commissioner the judge de-
cided that the woman should be sent
back to Russia from where she had emf
grated and that the children should be
taken from her and placed in some in
stitution. The husband of Mary desert
ed her about six months ago and moth
ing has been heard of him since.
No Soviet for Mary.
Mary did not like the idea of going
back to Russia and stated that home
in that devastated land where hunger
and cold, combined with Lenine and
Trotzky, was not altogether desirable.
However, as this is the third time
that Mary has been arraigned on a
moonshine charge, it is thought that
no further consideration will be shown
