Big Booze Haul Made at Hickory; 102 Gallons Captured with Large Car

Hickory, June 25 (AP)—a large closed car, carrying 102 gallons of sparkling corn liquor was captured here late last night by two members of the local police force who stopped the car because it drove in the wrong direction in the one-way street. The two men occupants of the machine ran when the officers approached. The entire cargo was contained in gallon jars, and they were packed in cases.
