Youngster in Jail, Caught with Whiskey, Aug. 31, 1924

Youth, Car, and Whiskey Captured

A brand-new lizzie and seven half gallon jars of whiskey are in the possession of county officers, and a youngster, the driver of the car, is in jail following a seizure made Saturday night by Deputies George King and Fred Copley. The officers were on a county road waiting for another auto believed to be loaded with booze when the unsuspecting youth appeared and was nabbed.

From page 2 of the Durham Morning Herald, Sunday, Aug. 31, 1924. The Ford Model T was also called the Tin Lizzie in the 1920s.
