Charlotte, Dec. 27—A spectacular raid on the home of Zach Belton in Seversville was staged by four Mecklenburg County police officers about 1:30 a.m., Saturday. The raid was featured by flying half-gallon jugs of whiskey and a miniature reproduction of a World War liquid fire attack, when some inmate of the house attempted to burn a quantity of the contraband.
Belton was found over to the next term of Mecklenburg County Superior Court on charge of possessing whiskey, after a hearing Saturday before Magistrate J.W. Cobb. In default of a $100 bond, he was sent to jail. On a charge of being drunk, he was fined $5 and costs.
