Deputy Otis Apple Locates 60 Gallon Copper Still June 24, 1924

Find Still Near Greensboro

By the Associated Press

Greensboro, N.C., June 24—A 60-gallon copper still, complete in every detail for operation, was found this week on city property near Reedy Fork Creek by Deputy Otis Apple. The still was considered one of the best ever found in Guilford County. Officers say that its last running was probably made about two days before it was found.

Information obtained by the officers points out that it has been operated frequently and has been one of the main forces from which prohibition violators of Greensboro secured their product.

The still was brought to the city convict camp.
