Charlotte and
Gastonia Make Big Booze Haul
The Charlotte and Gastonia police departments each held up
an automobile Monday night and in each were found about 150 quarts of whiskey.
This is one of the biggest booze hauls made in this section in a long time.
When a motorcycle policeman ordered the cars to stop because of their glaring headlights,
both made a dash and one was caught at the Southern railway in Charlotte while
Gastonia police department was notified that a car acting suspiciously was
headed that way. The car captured in Charlotte bore a Georgia license and the
man and woman occupying it claimed that they had rented it to take a trip to
Virginia. However, a repair bill from Baltimore concern was found in the car
and in a back compartment 150 quarts of good whiskey was stored. The man gave
his name as E.N. Hart of Augusta. Both parties were lodged in jail.
