Accused of Violating

Swooping down on an apartment at
11l9 K street today, members of Sergt.
o. J. Lettermans raiding squadron
seized approximately 5000 quarts of
assorted liquors and arrested three
persons, one a woman.
Those arrested gave their names as
Mary Jones, 25 years old; Jack Brown,
81, and William Marajos, 33. The two
former were charged with illegal pos
session of liquor and the latter with
sale, possession, manufacturing and
violation of sections 148 and l4l of
the penal code, which has to do with
the use of fake revenue stamps.
When police entered the apartment
they say that the woman and Marajos
were engaged in mixing liquors in a
five-gallon keg. The keg was still
steaming a half hour later.
Police have been making efforts for
the past month to make purchase
that would allow them to gain entry to
the place, they say but were foiled until
they employed the services of an espe-
cially clever agent.
The seized beverages they charge,
consist of alcohol, gin, champagne,
Scotch whisky and an assortment of
wines. They filled an entire room, in
cluding several closets. Police placed a
tentative value of $4,000 on the haul,

stock lost on account of high water and
for repairing damages to overfiowed

stock.
They must be replanted early in the

cation before the middle of the Sum-
