criticized the activities of federal pro-
hibition officers, in his announcement
of the Communication. He quoted from
a statement by an alderman of Stanley
that an officer disguised as a farmer
induced Kiraly to obtain moonshine
for him, giving Kiraly pint of the
liquor and then arresting him.
"This farmer is the same farmer
that wasn't farmer at all, but one
of those individuals who are interested
in goats, and when they can't find real
goats they make goat out of some
poor foreigner" the executive de-
clared. He committed Kiraly's, sem
tence to expire at once. p
