raided every house in block in the

effort to find the source of the poison
Gus alcohol which has caused IL deaths
in the neighborhood

visited every cellar in the block Mem
bers of the party said they were unable
to get warrants. because the persons who
gave the information about the alcohol
feared that if their connection with the
search was known they would be killed.
Shortly after the hunt was started
several prohibition officers joined the
district attorney and two caches of a
liquor supposed to be whiskey and col
orcd alcohol were found.
Digging in the dirt in the back yards
and closely searching the cellar walls
for secret hiding places they continued
their hunt. They believed that sooner
or later they would come across a cell
lar which had recently been dug up and
that in that house they would find not
only the main cache Of poison alcohol.
but also the ''kiag of bootleggers' who
operates in the district.
The first liquid found was in the cell
lar of a tenement house. Five wine
presses We're found with several empty
bottles all labeled ''whiskey.' The
searchers tried two more houses without
results and then at the fourth discov-
