BOOZE
TAKEN AWAY
Christmas Liquor Goes to
Newark but not to Spread
Holiday Cheer

Prohibition Agent Milton Swack-
hamer, of Metuchen, was sent here
from Director Adrian Chamberlain's
office in Newark yesterday to take
possession of the automobile, liquor
and prisoner at local police head
quarters.
Oscar Wilmington, of Newark, was
caught yesterday morning after a
race on Amboy avenue by Motor
cycle officer Frank Seiboth, In pre-
pairing to summon the driver for
speeding, the officer learned that he
had q load of fourteen cases of LID
uor and also a revolver without a
permit.
At police headquarters the pris-
oner was arraigned on three charges
violation of the prohibition law,
carrying concealed weapons and
speeding. He was fined SIS on the
automobile law charge, held in $500
bail to await the action of the grand
Jury on the weapon charge, and de-
tanned for the federal authorities on
the liquor possession count.
Swackhamer took the prisoner be-
fore Commissioner John r. Delaney
upon his arrival here and bail was
fixed for a later hearing. Then the
car and liquor were taken to New
ark.
In explaining the disposition of
car and liquor, Chief Tonnesen has
made known that by turning every
thing over to the federal authorities,
the local department has about
washed its hands of the case. The
department is not overburdened with
members, and if the case was to be
turned over to the county, the local
officer would have to spend con-
siderable time assisting in dispos-
ing Of the case.
To Pennsylvania
Millington, it is said, admitted fol-
lowing his arrest that he had a load
of good stuff" on board. He was
loaded at the Highlands, 1t is alleged,
and was on his way to Newark from
where he was going to Pennsylvania.
The head of the local department,
Chief Tonnesen, in referring to the
light Perth Amboy is considered in
other cities, as regards law violation
declares that this city is not n
worse than any other city In the
country. He points out that the Gus
tom house representatives make
many arrests here and that his men
catch going through this
city from Highlands and other
points not so far from here. All
this gives outsiders the impression
that the booze for the entire coun-
try is landed here, it is pointed out.
