The oc to get “inside and work from within,” R. R. Wall, of the Bal timore district office, said. When the investigation had proceeded to the point where such course was deemed advisable the roundup was rapidly planned and carried out without arousing the slightest suspicion on the part of those taken. The special officer is said to have told the rlleged liquor men that he was ready to handle li quor on a really big scale and in order to consumate his big liquor deal that he would need to deal with men who really had quanti ties of liquor to sell. About 20 alcohol tax units were then called in for assistance and the liquor men were engaged to bring in big quantities of moonshine to an appointed spot to be loaded on the truck. Nine of them were there at the ap pointed time but more than that number of agents were hidden in the immediate surroundings. While the big deal for the more than 1,200 gallons was actually under way and the participants were ready to divide the spoils the a.gents closed in rapidly and it was all over at that point. Warrants vrere ready for the others in the several communities against whom evidence had been compiled by the special agent. The remainder of the roundup was a matter of serving warrants. An undercover agent, it was learned on good authority, had been working in eastern Wilkes for several weeks and has pur chased liquor in wholesale quan tities from a num'ber of people, gathering information all the time about those wno were par ticipating in manufacture, sale and transportation of illicit spir its. The old town of Wilkesboro was a hive of activity as the ar rested suspects were placed in the wire enclosed jail to await hear ing before Ik S. Commissioner Diila. Practically all of them were willing to waive hearing and Mr. Dula was busily engaged in fill ing out bonds for appearance at the November term of federal court. Neighbors of those first brought t o Wilkesboro early Timsday came to visit them and some were greeted with warrants as they came 'insusnectingly to see relatives or friends lodged temporarily in the jail enclosure until bonds wer? arranged. Described as working from the inside out, the liquor huyiug by the undercover agent culminated when the truck load was gathered at Roaring River and the agents swooned in to make the arrests. 'riio.se who were arrested were: AV. 0. P’.afklnirn. Teddy Billintrs. r-lena Bn:i,guess. J. R. Clyde neinric. .Tet'.i' '^ale. Rob ert Fegrave.s. Bryant Alathis. Coy Sales, negro.
