precedent is
SET BY JURY
HERE
Glenn Convicted
On Technicality
Sets Six Months And $1,000
Fine; Boger Also Gets
Term.
A precedent was set in
Judge Yates Webb’s court
here today as a jury found
Ben Glenn guilty of a law vio
lation in hauling government
tax paid liquor from a wet
,tate to a wet state through
drv North Carolina.
Glenn, who for the past three
rears 1* alleged to have carried on
bootlegging operations in No. 3
township, was sentenced to be im
prisoned for six months in a fed
eral prison and was fined $1,000.
Two N. C. superior courts have
pondered several months over a
irnular ease.
Case Pending
The test case has been pending
tine* last spring when Sheriff Ray
mond Cline and his officers caught
Glenn and Graham Dover with tl
rases of liquor made in Louisville,
Ky, which was supposedly being
hauled from Columbia. S. C. to
Corbin, Ky. Glenn had license to
haul liquor, but the point of law
was a technicality.
The liquor was not properly con
tigned by the Columbia concern. A
Mil of laden shown by Glenn was
on a Southern railway bill. The
law violated is in section 64, title
ft of the government statutes.
Graham Dover was released, as
hating no part, but Walter Roger,
alleged partner in the illicit busi
ness was given 18 months in the
Chillicothe, Ohio prison on a dif
ferent bill in which he was charged
wth wiling liquor to W. H. Miller
east of Shelby.
Mrs. T. C, Stockton was given
t*o years suspended sentence for
selling bootleg liquor.
Other Judgments
Some other judgments which the
eourt passed on of importance to
Cleveland, Rutherford, Burke and
Gaston counties included:
Jud Miller, negro bride layer was
given six months to decide whether
he wall take the “rap” for four
gallons of liquor found near his
house. His wife is alleged to have
allowed it to be placed there.

Hildebrand In
Timely Trouble
Timeliness in getting law viola
tors is one of the pet courtesies of
federal investigators.
Ed R. Hildebrand, operator of #ie
Green Top Filling station of near
Valdese was brought to Shelby
Monday night with a full truck load
of liquor, beers, wines, bootleg al
coholic beverages.
He was arraigned sometime after
12:15 at night before Federal Com
missioner John P. Mull and placed
under a $500 bond.
The grand jury found a true bill
for him in federal court and his
trial may come up this afternoon
or tomorrow. The arrest was part
of the nation-wide drive against
violators of liquor and narcotic
laws.
Mr. Hildebrand had a license to
sell tax paid liquor—if he could get
by local officials—but Agents Mc
Shane and Carson found a secret
cache of ‘‘white liquor.” They re
voked his license and brought all
the drink along in a truck.

“red influence” were reported by
their headquarters to have reach
ed Illescas, blocking the way to
the capital.
Illescas is only twenty two miles
from Madrid and near the half
way point betwen Toledo and the
capital.
The government, meanwhile de
nying the insurgents encroached so
closely on the capital, mobilized
two additional classes of militia in
to a powerful army.
It planned a sharp counter at
tack to repel the Fascist drive across
central Spain and to recapture the
cities of Toledo.
Socialist troops retreated stub
bornly from the Toledo sector,
fighting doggedly under a barrage
from six inch batteries trained on
the city’s heights.
The government declared a turn
