Indict Baldwin, Alleged
Leader Auto Thief Gang
That Operated in Maine
Use Gimlet to
Spot Hiding Place
500 Gallons Alcohol

Tenants Harbor, Me-, Dec. B.
R)-Prospecting for alcohol with a
gimlet was rewarded here tonight
when a crew of coastguardsmen
struck "pay dirt" in the form of 500
gallons of the contraband in a secret
compartment of the New York mo-
torboat, Lily.
The crew was acting on the orders
of Sumner s. Sleeper, supervisor of
the coastguard, who instructed his
men to tear the boat to pieces If
necessary" after two raids last night
failed to confirm the official sus-
picions.
Armed with a gimlet the raiders
began a systematic search tonight
and for some time were unable to
find any alcohol. AS a last resort
they gathered over a suspicious look
ing surface under the pilot house
and began to bore.
The gimlet plunged after penetrat-
ing the planking and a squirt of al
cohol following the gimlet back
through the hole ended the search.
The contraband was seized and e.
H. Wilson, the only person aboard
the Lily, was arrested. A man by
the name of Cooney was being
sought as captain Of the Lily and
another man said to have been a
former member of the coastguard,
and one of the Lily's crew, was also
sought.

Sea Kidnappers
OF Dry Agent Still
Elude Sleuth Ships

New Orleans, Dec. 3.-(R)-TWenty
ships secured the seas in search of
the bootleg buccaneers who have kid
mapped a Federal prohibition agent
and a coast guardsman. The fate of
the missing men remained mystery
four days after they are believed to
have been overpowered and taken as
prisoners to an unknown destination
or marooned at some little visiteu
points.
Only conjecture can be advanced
as to what happened when the
French schooner Arsene j., escaped
from the cutter CG-302 with two of
the rum chasers crew left aboard to
guard the schooner's cargo of liquor.
The belief is that the Arsene Us crew
fell on their guards and clapped them
into irons and again, as masters OF
their ship, headed out into the gulf
under full sail for nearby foreign
port and the source of their contra
band cargoes.
