case against a Negro man who
said he had shot at Sanders when
he caught Sanders in the woods
with his wife.
In the first case. Chief ABC
Officer C. A. McCallum testified
concerning an ABC raid which
took place about noon on July 4

new-run whiskey. Lendon and
Major Sanders were arrested at

at Sanders two or three times as
Sanders ran, but didn’t hit him.

one had broken into his house
later and stolen it. He drew a
three months’ sentence, suspend
