W?rrut toned mm) bmwl on Agent
for VSUlluns. Also Reported
That Wammt* Hare Bm
Issued for , Williams
. and Swaaner.
When asked this morning wheth
er Federal action had bec?n taken a
galnst him on tlie charge of being
connected with the Illegal shipment
of whlaksy Into this 8iate. William
Swannar stated to a representative
of the Dally New* that he had heard
of the*ruTnor, b*t knew nothing def
inite about it. Mr. Swanner return
ed last night from Norfolk, where
he has been during the last few
days. L ' 1
. '*1 understand." he said, "that a'
warrant has been issued and served
against Freeman Spencer, book
keeper for Williams, and I have alio
heard that warrants have been 1?
Bued for Williams and myself."
It Is understood that Mr. Williams
at present is in New York City on'
business. It Is thought probable
that the Federal authorities will
take action agadnst Spencer for the
part he took in shipping the' liquor
to th?a city and that the warrants
have been issued for WUllpms, be
c&uso Spencer la his agetyff and for
Swanner as a witness. The case I?
sat for trial on August 5th. It may
also be that Mr. Swanner, who was
fount? guilty by a jury in the local
recorder's court, may be held on the
charge of aiding In the shipment. |
