 The agents expressed the belief that most of the liquor captured has been manufactured in the section of Rhode Island near where it was found from a poor grade of grain alcohol and that very little of it If any is imported.
 They also expressed the belief that some of the men caught today were among party of alleged rum runners who attempted. to run. down federal prohibition officers who tried to stop them recently while they were speed- ing through the country in automo- piles near Westerly. s es.
