Raleigh, May 22—More than 60 copper stills seized by the sheriff of Wake county and his deputies, were stacked up in an alley way back of the courthouse here, preparatory to being sold for junk. All of these stills had been seized in the last six months. The copper weighed 2,180 pounds and netted the Sheriff’s office $314.73. The cops of several of the stills was fitted with hinged clasps, so that they could be locked down to the still to prevent the possibility of being blown off.
