He squal led out that he had thirty gallons and when found he bad missed 'it but little.-. ; Every effort has .been made to make him tell where lie got it but he won't tell. It has been discovered that the whiskey was block stuff and made in Durham. . McGhee is therefore guilty of . aiding and abetting In the illicit manufacture of the booze. He probably was unable to understand that and he is convicted aforetime by his confession. Commissioner Skinner will send him to federal court this afternoon. The farmers and neighbors of the blockers say there has been a revival of the business recently, but that there seems no way to find out who owns the trouble factories. i The swearing out of the warrant and the trial may throw some light on the matter. At present the au thbrittes have their own ideas about it but evidence will be necessary to saddle the boeze on the proper per son's.
