An alleged difference of
about 60 in the number of
casea of liquor Phillip Vates
had at his place near. Pur-
lear when it waa raided by
SBl agents and state high
way patrolmen and the num
ber of cases now stored here
is the subject of much com
ment in this part of the
state.
State Bureau of Investigation
agents and a number of state
highway patrolmen made the li
quor seizure on Tates’ premises
June 1. The liquor was loaded
on three trucks and taken to the
state highway garage In Wilkes
boro, where patrolmen guardeii
It through the night.
At the time of the seizure the
officers said they bad seized
about 650 cases.
The liquor was turned over to
the county board of commission
ers and was stored under gn..rd
for a few days in leased quarters
in North Wilkesboro.
A few days later it was moved
to the basement of the North
Wilkesboro town hall. Officials
who inventoried the liquor and
checked it as it was stored said
there were only 609 cases.
It was reported here from un-
had approximately 670 cases of
liquor In the building where the
seizure was made and that all the
liquor was removed on the night
of the seizure.
It is further reported that the
"missing’’ liquor includes the
most expensive brands Yates bed
on hand and which was ‘‘worth
$50 per case of anybody's money”,
indicating that the amount of li
quor. now being held by the
county for sele when the case Is
disposed of in court is about
$3,000 short.
When a court order is obtained
the county will sell the liquor to
ABC state stores and the money
will be applied according to law
to the school current expense
fund.
