asked that a gallon Of whiskey be de-
livered to a hotel on South Alamo
street. The agent was assured, ac-
cording to the report, that the de-
livery would be made within 80 or
40 minutes.
Shortly after the order had been
made, two men driving a Chevrolet
automobile, brought the whisky to
the hotel on South Alamo street and
asked for the name that had been
given by the prohibition agent. The
two men. the agent alleges. were Cor
don w. Barber and John Reese.

fer stated.
