Then they went on strike about the time bullets began to strike pearby. The officers took Hyatt, the negro, the car, the still and other implements to the jail. The still had a capacity of eight hundred gallons. It was claimed that it was constructed for the purpose of supplying Montgomery with much of its liquor.
