out in the chimney which the police
suspected was made for the purpose
of carrying off the distilling fumes
so that people outside of the building
would not suspect the secret process
going on within.
The Mrs. Destroys Moon.
When the police car drew up in
front of the home, Mrs. Sokolowski
rushed up the steps into the house.
The police got inside to find evidence
that she had FASTENED to pour out a
gallon of moonshine into the sink.
One of the officers touched match
to the fluid which dripped over the
sides of the sink and it responded
with a pretty blue alcoholic flame.
"This stuff would make better fuel
for an alcohol lamp than for the hui
man stomach" remarked police CT
ficer, as he admired the little curls
of flame that trembled on the edge
of the Sokolowski sink.
In addition to the still, $50 gallons
of mash in barrels were found, again
evidence of Stanley's devotion to moon
shine making rather than to study
of the American constitution.
What About Eugene Weaver.
When Eugene Weaver last stood be-
fore Judge Slater on the charge of I'M
lawful possession of moonshine liquor
at the premises at lott Prairie avenue,
which in police circles had become no
torious for lodging the law, he told
the court that he was "out of the
business" He said he had sold out
and intimated that he was through.
The Glass A permit for the conduct
ing. of the Maple House, which also
has born no savory reputation, has
been issued to George Balaze, but the
district attorney informed the court
the other day that the Maple House
had been purchased by Eugene Weaver.
Friday afternoon Sergeant Kirsch
Shipped one over on the Maple House
in getting his foot inside the door
and suddenly himself before those in
side could bar him out. He went to
the side door, gave a tap, and the
door was opened from within by a
painter. The place was in process OF
decoration and the painter unlocked
the door expecting to see one of his
trade. Instead there was the police
sergeant, star and all.
While the sergeant came in one way
his pals came around through another
door, and before the Maple House hold
ers of the permit or the owners knew
it the place was raided.
