 Shaw, scientist. Harvard professor and
 member of a socially prominent family, appeared before United States Commis-

 brought to official light was discovered in his home at 6 Marlborough street, Back Bay. according to the officers who descended upon the mansion. with q search warrant
 The disclosure of the raid. through
 the federal court proceedings today , may shock the city's exclusive realm in
 which the alleged moonshiner moved,
 but one of the calm and unperturbed ut 1 terances uttered by him 10 the raiding officers may prove even more shock. Moonshining according to this quoted statement. is quite a general practice in Boston society. All the fellows have stills" he told the officers. according to their assertions.
 The still. of 10-gallon capacity, was set up on the top floor of the house, ad-
 joining the ballroom. In the room was also found. the officers allege, half 
 gallon of distilled liquor of the kind termed "hooch'' in less fashionable cir cles, and six gallons of mash. l The alleged society moonshiner, ac- cOrdng. to the officers said he had used the product of the still as an ingredient
 in punch served at dancing parties which he gave from time to time to SO ciety guests in the ballroom of the home Gazette.
