Wilmington, N.C., Feb. 4 (AP)—J.K. Nicholson of Councils, United States Deputy Marshal during the regime of the late Colonel W.T. Dortch, and for 20 years a deputy sheriff of Bladen County, was arrested today by United States Deputy Marshal Harrelson and Prohibition Enforcement Agent Wilkins, in connection with alleged whiskey operations on a gigantic scale that date back as far as Christmas. Nicholson, well known in the eastern section of the state, waived examination when arraigned before United States commissioner Louis Goodman, and was bound over to Federal court under $500 bond, which was given.
The specific charge is aiding and abetting in the sale and transportation of liquor.
