he owned one of the stills, were
arrested, and later the Japanesa ac.
cused Jensen of being involved. 1t

land to Japanese and Mexicans,
knowing that they were making
lnoonshine, and when the plants
were going good he is said to have
given information to the police that
resulted in the stills being raided
and ,.he land, reverting back to him.
In connection with the case a
party Of men Just previously bad
raided the japanese, and passing
themselves off as Officers, obtained
$500 from him for his freedom, part
of the. money said to have been
paid by check. Chadwick, Tucker
and Edwards were afterwards ar
rested in connection with the case,
and charged with highway robbery,
and they now claim that Jensen
and Joiner were with them when
