Depression Blamed for Many
"Amateurs" Arrested as
Dry Law ViolatorS.

The depression is blamed by Police
Court officers for the increase in the
number of amateurs" in the bootleg
ging business noted within the past
year.
Assistant United States Attorney Will
bur Baughman said more persons had
entered the illegal profession within
the last II months than in any similar
period probably since the first year after
the prohibition law was passed and
David A. Hart, with the United States
attorneys office for u years, agreed.
Victims of Depression.
The new liquor dealers are mostly
young men and colored women, Baugh-
man said. In talking with those whom
police arrest the prosecutor found that
the young men for the most part have
lost jobs with legitimate firms and have
started bootlegging as the only avail
able means OF earning livelihood
Some of them have families dependent
upon them for support.
He said his investigation has re-
vealed that a few have taken up the
trade for excitement coupled with the
reported large remuneration.
The majority of colored women,
Saughman said, were formerly employed
as servants.
The Police Court office Of the Dis
trict attorney keeps complete record
OF those arrested for violations of the
DRY law. Almost all of the veterans"
OF the racket are known to those in the
office and the newcomer is easily found
out.
Have Discouraged Novices.
Hart and Baughman said they have
done their best to discourage the anna
teur.' Leniency has been employed
whenever possible and those convicted
placed on probation and close check
is kept on their movements. The pros
ecutors talk with the defendants and
explain that, once apprehended, their
chances are small of escaping the police
net in the future.
Seldom does the new bootlegger go in
business for himself, Baughman said
Most of them accept jobs making de-
liverieS and bringing liquor-laden auto
mobiles into the District for the well
established trafhckers.
