Smash at 3
More Stills
Death Blow Is Fired at
Booze Industry in
Clinton District.

Three stills with capacity Of
$500 gallons we're confiscated BY
federal prohibition agents Friday
night in what they termed a death
blow against the giant whisky and
alcohol industry in Clinton, Ind.
Federal agents who had obtained
six stills Friday morning found
more than $4,000 gallons Of mash
working in the three places they
raided Friday night. Two OF the
stills we're of 1,O00-gallon capacity
and were used for cooking alcohol,
agents said. The third was for 500
gallons of whisky distilling, they
said.
No Further Raids Likely
James G. Browning, prohibition
inspector who directed the smash
on the liquor making section. said
he believed the raids were the death
blow" to the Illicit business that
has brought hundreds Of thousands
of dollars to operators.
It was believed agents will not
make further raids in the district.
They were called to indianapolis to-
day to attend hearings in federal
court. Browning, however. init
mated several arrests will be made
next week.
Operating for Years
In one Of the places where agents
found a gallon still they said
they also unearthed a cistern con-
tanning 10000 gallons of mash.
Large silo-type vatS augmented the
mash capacity in the places, they
said.
For years a network Of stills has
been operated in the section. Liquor
sold by gangsters in Illinois, Indi-
ana and other parts of the middle
west has been made in this area.
