March 27, 1924, and again on May 3.

of these alleged "two others" came

and was fined in the municipal court.
Make Second Trip.
On May after all this had hap
pened, the sheriff made second trip
to the place together with deputies.
This time a jug Of moonshine was
found in the boiler in the creamery.
Sheriff Pabst and Deputy Otto testi-
fed Tuesday at the trial that when
they made the first trip this boiler
was searched and there was no moon
in it.
Bentz took the stand in his own
behalf at the trial. He insisted that
he knew nothing of the moon in the
boiler and that he did not go near the
creamery. He admitted that he lived
in the house nearby and that he went
to and fro among his barns every
day.

from the creamery when the mash
was being brewed there ?" asked Dis
trict Attorney Barnett, as the defend
ant asserted his complete innocence.

the creamery to his son, William
Bentz, in 1920 He said that his son
was to pay $35 a month for the
creamery. Later he said his son was
forced out of the creamery business
by the state health department. Bentz
insisted that his son still continued
to pay rent on the place and was still
the lessee, although he had nothing
in the creamery but little machin-
cry.
William Bentz took the stand also,
and testified that he rented the
creamery Of his father.
The jury went out to deliberate up
on the case just before five o'clock.
