White Woman and Man Charged with Blockading. . . Still Found in Operation in Home of Matha Bundy—She and Earney Lamb Jailed. . . To Be Tried Tomorrow

Matha Bundy and Barney Lamb, both white, are in jail here charged with manufacturing and possessing whiskey, as the result of a raid made Saturday by Sheriff R.E. Lewis and Rural Policeman Cramer Miller.

The raid was made on a house about 3 miles south of Lumberton occupied by the woman, and a semi-copper type whiskey still was found in operation. About 2 gallons of the finished product were found, and a few gallons of beer. The beer was found in the edge of the woods near the house.

Both will be tried tomorrow morning before Recorder W.B. Ivey.
