GOT TWO TRUNKS WITH WHISKY FALLING CREEK J. F. Potter, Arrested by Sheriff, De nicd . Ownership of the Stuff, Claiming That AUn Who Got Off Early Morning Tiain at Washing ton Gave-Him Checks to Perform Favor for Him (Daily Free Press.. October 1) The sheriff and other officers this morning seized two trunks contain ing whisky at Fulling Creek, and with the liquor, J. F. Potter, a young man well known in that section who had just come from Norfolk. One trunk was opened and found to con tain 23 quarts of an expensive brand of rye whisky. The lock of the other trunk, which was heavier, had been tampered with, and could not be opened -without forcing, which was not considered necessary. Potter had the checks for both the trunks, numbered 350,075 and 350,070. He said that two . men got off the train oir which he was riding at Washington at 2:10 a. m. One of them, a tall, red-faced man, who said his name was Skinner, gave him the checks and asked that he hand them to the conductor so that he would put the trunks off at Falling Creek, Pot ter said. The stranger told him that there would be a man at Falling Creek to look out for them. i It was upon information from a Norfolk detective that Sheriff Taylor went to Falling Creek to meet the whisky. ' The informant stated that two trunks filled with the stuff was being shipped for one J. R. Skin ner, a "tall, red-faced man," to the Lenoir county station. Taylor nab bed Potter, himself slight of frame and rather tall and light complected, who was the only white passenger to alight at Falling Creek. . The authorities were rather inclin ed to .believe Potter's story. There was the belief expressed that prob-H ably the Wan rwho got off at Wash ington, getting wind of the fact that the officers were on to him,, made , a tool of Potter, or that he intended to slip :into the1 innocent, little country station at a favorable time, and get the whisky,, as is a favorite means of evading the law by dealers in the il licit stuff now. Afi effort is being made at Wash ington to locate the characters des cribed by Potter. LEE COUNTY FAIR PUT OFF TILL NOVEMBER. Sanford, Sept. 30.
