The only booze captured by officers in this vicinity over the Christmas rush and holidays was a lone pint nabbed Sunday night about 11 o’clock thru the window of the apartment on Horah street occupied by John Beach and family, according to a report from both state and federal officers who made the raid.
Officers, suspecting Beach of dealing in liquor, threw a guard around the house. Beach refused them admittance. The officers waited a few minutes. Someone began pouring a quantity of liquid stuff out of one window. An officer on the lookout walked up and grabbed a quart jar which contained a pint of liquor.
A warrant was sworn out this morning by federal officers charging Beach with having liquor in his possession for the purpose of sale.
