against moonshinet's reached high
pitch here today as officers organ
ized a posse to investigate the mys-
FERROUS Staying of County Policemen
Floyd Malone and Frank Tucker,
whose bodies, punctured with shot
gun wounds, were found by an old
mill near Neaddock late yesterday.
The officers left here early Fri
day morning to hunt stills in the
southeastern part of the county.
Officers are working on the theory
that they were killed by moonshin.
ers as they attempted to raid a
still. and that their bodies were
thrown into Malone's automobile
and hauled to the old mill, five
miles from Maddox.
The bodies, with great holes torn
in them, were found neatly stretched
out on the ground near the aban-
doned car, and their weapons were
nearby.
One of the first clues to be fo..
lowed down today in searching for
the sIayers was to trace the tracks
of the automobile which was stand
ing nearby. Officers believed this
would lead to a moonshine still la
the vicinity.
A coroner's jury, under the ,direc'
ton of Coroner A. M. Green, was
in session today investigating the
mysterious crime. +.
County Policeman Malone had
only held that position in the
county for two weeks, having sue
ceeded Joe Grub, who was killed
about a month ago.

the county has reached a stage
where a public mass meeting IL
planned to inaugurate drive
