Washington Buyers of Bootleg
Liquor Hrown Into a Panic

It is understood that the prohibition
enforcement division plans to proceed
against customers of bootleggers by
summoning them before the grand
jury and then compelling them to tell
what they know about the retailers
they have been patronizing. 1t is ac-
cepted that if any official desired to
do it he could very easily convict those
who buy the liquor for illegal posses
sion at least. OF course il they TESTIFY
before a grand jury they would auto
matically get immunity, but the lists
showing deliveries might be used as
evidence if the prosecutor should so
decide.
However. the intention is to "throw
a scare into the purchasers" and the
grand Jury method certainly would
work to this end. Just how far the
authorities will decide to go with this
matter no one would say today.
In court today some Of Asher
methods were revealed. Arriving here
weeks ago he got job as a helper
on an ice wagon. This gave him a
line on the retailers who operate
through "near beerH saloons. Then he
was put at work on a city ash wagon
and he lined up the chief sources of
negro corn. From this to piano tuning

tons was easy. The result was that
when he finished this line he had a
complete line ON the source of the
supply of cheaper whiskey in the city.
Posed a Possible Purchaser.
Asher then turned his attention to
the high class bootleggers. He posed
as a noted Kentuckian and made ar
rangements to purchase quantities OF
the mythical sassy Scotch" to ship to
Louisville and points south. As he
talked in big money here he soon was
in possession of the secrets of the
larger boOtleggers.
When he was ready he swore out
warrants and arranged for their ser
vice. Today the liquor element is in a
state of panic. They know that only
the surface has been scratched and they
have been told through their secret in.
formation sources that many addi'
tional arrests will be made. The re-
suit is that only the most favored
customers are getting their liquor today
while the stocks that have been stored
in various parts of the city are being
rushed to strong boxes to stay until the
Kentuckian goes home.
