Police Believe George Potter Home Burned by Gang of Bootleggers, Sept. 17, 1924

Believe Home Burned by Gang Bootleggers

Kinston, Sept. 16—The home of George Potter of Potter’s Hill, who lives near Kenansville, was burned to the ground Saturday night, according to delayed word of the incident received here today. It is thought that the home was fired, as it is also understood that the owner has been active in assisting revenuers recently. The fire occurred when Mr. Potter and the family were not at home, and evidently was timed for that reason.
