Still Captured at Preacher's Home, Dec. 10, 1925

Capture Still at Home of Negro Preacher

Hickory, Dec. 9—Federal officers making raids near Hildebran captured a still at the home of Hosea Hildebran, negro preacher, and confiscated several pints of whiskey and around 200 gallons of beer which they found buried under a woodshed near Hildebran’s home. The negro, who has been preaching for about 30 years, took his Bible to jail with him, the officers said.
