Two Held In
 Still Capture
Barberi and Hurba Under $500 Bonds for Hearing in
 Woodbury, Where Contraband Is Unearthed

Charles Barbieri, former local business man, and William Hurba' of New Haven, are being held un- der bonds of $500 each for 0 hear ing tomorrow evening in the town hall of Woodbury on the charge or illegal manufacture of alcohol. A 500 gallon still was discovered yes- terday when firemen of Woodbury responded to an alarm for a fire in a, gasoline station located at the junction. of the Woodbury, Bethle- hem and Waterbury roads. The distillery was @located in a barn about 100 feet from the station where. scores of autoists stop for fuel and for refreshments.
 Very little damage resulted rom a blaze in the barn. It developed however, that two alarms had been sent in to the Woodbury station. On.the first trip the firemen were turned back with the information that 1t was false alarm. The first cali was at 6:30 a. m. and the sec ond ant Il a. m. &.,,
 When the firemen made their discovery Constabies Robert Reicn- enback and Warren Atwood were notified. In addition to the stili the officers discovered about 1O,- 900 gallons of mash in several large vats.
 Barbieri claims that the property Is owned by his wife and has been leased to one Michael Catado. some months ago Barbieri obtained an injunction against the state high- way commission and prevented the completion of concrete pavement to within n short distance from ms station. His actions aroused the ire of the residents of Woodbury.
