FEDERAL OFFICERS MAKE RAIDS
CONFISCATE BEER AT FORD'S Inn
AND WHISKEY AND MASH AT
MIR. WINERIES.

Raids were conducted by Prohibi-
ton Agents Ford, Lindhohm, Finch
.um, Parlett. Bermau and Barton, as
sisted by States Attorney Brown, at
three places in Carroll county, Satur-
day.
Before they started to work they Sc
cured search warrants from Justice
Walsh to carry out their plans.
Their first visit was to Ford's Inn,
this city, where they confiscated about
two cases of home brew. After salts
fed they had secured all intoxicants.
they went to Mr.. Joseph Wimert's.
and found about 200 gallons of mash
and several quarts of whiskey. The
mash was destroyed and the "red eye"
brought along as evidence.
On their way back to Baltimore
they called on Leonard Kyle, Sykes
vile. which produced two quarts OF
"moonshine" and IL cases of home
brew. Kyle is the party who tried to
sell States Attorney Brown a quart of
his liquor some time ago and was ar
rested as he handed over the goods.
ME Ford and Mr.. Wimert were be-
fore Judge Supplee, Baltimore, Mon
day and were held under bond. The
former for $500 and the latter $1,000.
No date has been set for hearing. At
torney Weant represented the defend
ants.
Kyle was given a hearing before
Justice Supplee and was found gull
ty and fined 81 and sentenced to go
days in Jail. Kyle is serving his time
with Sheriff Martin.
The finding of the small amount OF
home brew at Mr.. Ford's does not say
he was disposing of the goods and no
evidence of that kind was secured
And the same is the case with Mr.
Wimert.
