Mrs. May Middleton and Albert
Moore, Jr., well-known Mount Holly
bootleggers met that fate on Friday
when Judge Slaughter imposed terms
of 80 days each for second offences
of the prohibition statute. Both Of
tenders, when formerly found guilty
of dealing in moonshine, were warn
ed against continuing this practice,
but they took more chances and
were caught.
Mrs. Middleton was convicted by a
jury last week on charge of selling
liquor when she lived at Tabernacle.
She formerly was guilty of prohibit
ton violations when she lived at
Hainesport and Mount Holly. She
changes her place of abode frequent
ly, her last residence being in Mount
Holly, a few doors from the house
where she said her husband is living
with another woman.
Moore also was convicted by jury
last week.
Robert Peacock, counsel for the
two defendants, gave notice of pro-
babbe appeal of the convictions for
review by the Supreme Court. Bail
was fixed at $1,000 each, in case the
appeals were taken.
Milton Emmert, Browns Mills,
liquor violator did not appear when
called, so his bail was forfeited.
James O'Connor, of Mount Holly,
convicted by a jury on an Indictment
charging transportation of liquor,
was fined $500. The jury didn't fall
for Jimmy's defence that the five
gallons of alcohol which was in the
car in which he was riding did not
belong to him bpt, was owned by
Thomas L. Quigley, another occupant
of the machine.
Daniel Kovac, who resides near
Roebling, was fined $3.50 for posses
sing utensils for making hootch. He
pleaded non vult to the charge. Be
ing in bad physical condition he
looked for an easy method of making
living and decided that the rum
business supplied that method. Others
in Roebling were doing it, so why
not he? He just had put in a still
and was ready to start business when
raiding officers butted in and seized
the outfit, also placing him under ar
rest. He promised to be good
hereafter.
William D. Sullivan, arrested while
drunk in Beverly, was found to have
two half pints of rum in his car. He
did not deny the accusation, entering
aplea of guilty, and was fined 5000.
He escaped Jail term on the
drunken driving charge because of
a flaw in the proceedings before
a magistrate.
Ulysses Gibbs, of Riverside, who
also had~a pint of white mule in his
gar, Ito be used for medical purpos-
es only entered plea of guilty and
was penalized $3.50.
Harry Rightmire, another trans
porter of liquor, was fined 5000. He
was loaded to the guards when ar
rested in Burlington for operating
flivver while intoxicated and served
ninety days on the charge. The re-
serve supply of rum was found in
the car, ramshackle machine assem-
bled from four others that came from
a junk heap.
Barney Siparez, a Philadelphian,
bought the Beverly Hotel and its
stock of soft drinks, cigars, cigars
etc. from Anthony Amber for 1852,
after considerable dickering, as the
odd price indicates. Amber was anx-
ious to get out of business, as he was
in bad odor in the community by
reason of liquor violations. Twenty
fours hours after Siparez got posses
sion of the hosiery the place was
raided and supply of high-powered
beer was found. Siparez said he
didn't know the beer was included in
the bill of sale, but he didn't deny
that the officers found it. He was
fined $500.
Anthony Amber, who sold the no.
tel, including it's bad reputation, adj
mitted he had violated the law at the
inn. This was his second offence, so
the penalty was fixed at $780, Amber
