WATERED BOOZEAND SHIPMENTS
STIR SUSPICIONDiscovery that liquor seized by former Sheriff Mc-
Rea of Hverett as well as some held by former SheriffHodge of King county had been dissipated and watersubstituted for it while it was in custody, promisedMonday to lead to an extension of the federal grandjury booze riii< probe to include Snohomish county.
Sheriff John Stringer expected to receive a reportTuesday from a government gauger, who is trying todetermine the amount of water used to replace whiskyiu a large consignment sent from the county jail toLyres warehouse shortly before former Sheriff Hodge'sterm expired.
And on the heels of Stringer's action came the dis-covery of a similar situation in Kverett. This develop-ment may le.id to disclosures which will show that theliquor syndicate stor»d as wll with Snohomish countyofficials as they are alleged to have stood withcounty officials.
It ha* been Known to dry sqund iand certain d«putv sher-
iffs for weeks that Charlie Young,
local representative of the JesseMoore Hunt Co. of Han Franciscoha* u drug store Ht Mali))}', In fjno-liomfah county.
Small Town* Were Bate*That Maltby, Sylrania and Stan
wood. #11 amall town*, near to-(tether, on paved roads leading toSeattle, have been used as pointsfrom «hich large quantities ofwhisky have t.een distributed by
auto* and motor truck*. Ik the be-lief of officer* who have frequently caught small quantities ofliooxe In auto*.
The game, as frequently explain-ed by officer*. «»1 for a truck
load of whisky to ftart from thosetowns and distribute it* load to aflotilla of auto*, which would meetIt along the road north of Seattle.
Other Rings Oct BoozeThat all three of the other three
big Irftotlcitging rings aside fromthe ItUlingsley* got much of theirliquor In lh.it way Is the belief ofdeputlrs who have worked onliquor assignment*.
Kecord* fail to show that Sno-homish county official* interferedwith the practice of unloading carafter car of whisky In town* witha population totaling less than thenumber of ca*e* usually shipped In
a single car.There were repeated clashes in
the sheriff's office here overwhether or not deputies assigned
to watch for liootle-'ger* should beallowed to carry out such assigntr.cnts.
Matt Starwirh, a deputy Flietlffwlio hnn<ll«'<l inanv of the liquorcase* toward the end of Hodge'sterm, wait closeted with I*. S. i'ls-
trlct Attorney Allen Monday morn-ing. Witt he divulged »ut themanner In which bootleggK weresupposed to enjoy protection-- -oithe sheriff* office was nof\ulged
When Strinrer took office a weelt"pgo some deputies were drop|>e<l.Whether any of them weredropped because of their pa»t con-nection with the Hllllneslevs. orother bootleggers. I* not known.
Many stories of how deputysheriffs, under orders from Hodge,tamed over to the Pielow TransferCo.. of which W. H. Plelow, whohas pleaded guilty to participetioain the liquor conspiracy, 1* theMead, quantities of liquor seizedfrom the lilllinpsley* and othetbootleggers, are current about thesheriff* office.
To Show Where It WentThat the federal probe will
event tally clear up the mystery ofthe disappearance of several ship-ments of liquor, which were heldfor a time at the county jail, i* thebelief of tho*e connected with thatend of the business.
An arrest that has grown In sig-nificance since the discovery ofhow liquor has been dissipated inSnohomish county, is that of Hi K.and A. li. Austin and D. Broback,near Duvall, a week ago Saturday.Deputy Shertffs Catqpbell, Star-wich and Von Gerst caught themIn an auto with 600 bottles ofwhisky. That the men were bring-ing tho liquor from a Snohomishcounty cache is the belief of theofficers.
The Austin brothers have beencounted one of the laruest handlersof contraband booie In the city,
tho law enforcement officers havehad difficulty in catching them.
