SAYS DEVICE IN CELLAR
NOT STILL BUT STOVE
Garrett COuntain Convicted in
Federal Court on Dry Law
Charge-Fined $500

Peter Hoy, living near Johnson's
in this county, west of Frostburg,
was found guilty by jury in the
Federal court in Cumberland after a
few minutes deliberation before noon
Thursday, Of possessing articles de-
signed for the manufacture of liquor
He was defended by J. Phillip Ro
man and E. J. Ryan, of Cumberland.
The case took up the greatest part
of the morning. Hoy was very vol
uble and argumentative on the stand.
Warned to Quit Business
Judge Morris A. Soper fined him
$500 and costs, warned him to get
out of the business, and told him if
he came back before him and was
convicted, Hoy woul dgo to the peni-
tertiary.
The Federal officers testified that
on January Is they went to Hoys
farm house in an isolated place from
the roadway near Long Stretch, and
found 75-gallon still set up in his
cellar over a metal barrel used as a
heating stove, but no coil. In the
room above were $500 pounds Of rye
and corn meal, and $50, pounds of
graduated sugar.
Won Gold Medal For Preserving
Hoy put up an unusual offense that
the still was an improvised stove, for
the purpose of heating his house, in
cold weather. He denied that the ma
terials found in his house were rye,
but declared the sacks contained oats,
potatoes, rice and other grains, some
grown on his fifty-acre tract, or
bought for sowing this spring. He
declared the sugar was only 250 lbs.
and that he did winter canning of
apples and fruits, living alone and had
gold medal for his preserving in
Baltimore. U. S. District Attorney
asked to see this medal but Hoy for
got to bring it with him.
During his cross examination by
the Federal attorney Hoy described
in answer to questions the operations
and how liquor was made. The gov
eminent showed Hoy had been con-
victed of making liquor in the same
cellar previously and that the agents
found broken stills and parts in his
woodshed. Hoy at intervals sought
to verbally spar with the Federal and
his own attorneys over his alleged
heating plant, which District Attor-
ney Woodcock declared twas wonder
fully made and an unusual contrap-
ton for heating cellars"
Motion to Quash Overruled
Trial of his case was held up yes
terday, when Hoy sought to quash
the indictment, alleging that his home
was searched without warrant The
Federal officers testified that Hoy
showed them in his cellar and also
upstairs where the materials were
kept When his case was called on
last Thursday morning inference was
given that he would plead guilty, but
after Hoy consulted some time with
his counsel the Court informed them
this decision should be made promptly
without taking up time Of the court
and jury. Hoy apparently went over
his counsels advice and pleaded not
guilty.
