WARD MOVES TO
SETTLE SQU|BB
BOND DEFAULTS
Compromise With Guaranty
Firm Started by At
torney.>

Moves to compromise with the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Company on defaulted bonds sup
piled by the w. p. Squibb Company
of Lawrenceburg. Ind, have been
started by United States District At
torney Albert Ward after the secur-
thy company offered to pay $17, 900
for 100000 worth of bonds put up
to insure that proper taxes would be
paid on whisky from the cornpany's
sdistilleries, it was learned today.
About $S50,000 worth of bonds
were supplied the collector of in
ternal revenue in Indiana by tthe
whisky company to guarantee that
a tax of S6.4O gallon would be paid
on liquor removed for beverage pur-
poses and 1920 a gallon on that
used for non-beverage purposes.
A civil suit pending in Federal
Court now, charges the nonbeverage
tax was paid when the booze was
used for beverage purposes.
Ward said he has recommended
the money offered by the security
company be accepted and that he
has sent a recommendation to this
effect to the department at Wash
ington.
He said the American Surety
Company of New York, which put
up the remainder of the mohey has
indicated refusal 10 offer or accept
moves to compromise.
1t Is understood the company will
not compromise on the grounds that
much of the booze, taken from the
distillery and stored in the Federal
Bldg, here, got into bootleg chan
nels after being stolen from the
Governments custody.
Ward said he will try the bond
case il "he ever gets time"
The $350,000 worth of Squibb
liquor was brought to the Federal
Bldg. JAM II. 1923, and destroyed
May II, 1926. Five men, three of
whom were employees in the building,
were sentenced for theft of $S0,0000
worth of It.
1t was during this period that the
Government charges 30,274 gal
Ions of whisky were removed from
the warehouse for beverage pur-
poses.
1t was because of the continued
action of the company in violating
their bond contract with the Govern
ment that the place finally was
sealed up in 1921 and the booze later
brought to Indianapolis.
