Whatever was in the mind of an alleged bootlegger, who was caught with more than five gallons of boot-leg hooch direct from the hills of Fayette County in Kentucky. He just should have thrown it out before the arrival of Sgt. C. W. Coburn, commander of the Vice squad of the Dayton police and Ptls. Jackie Parks and H. R. Stewart, who with the aid of Abner Vance, an agent from the Ohio State Liquor Board, who made a purchase of the "moonshine" whiskey early Saturday morning.

The accused "Hootch Runner" charged with bringing to Dayton untaxed liquor and the illegal sale of same was none other than one Moses Bryant, 25 of 967 Ruth avenue, who gave his occupation as that of a building contractor and with plenty of building material consisting of building stones, lumber and other material from where the "Juice from the Hills" was hidden and where the officers were led to find more than five gallons of the "booze".

According to the Vice squad, the demand for the out-of-state "grog" brought the price of $2 per pint and that is what the sale to the liquor agent was paid. Also interested in the violation of the State of Ohio in the "business" of Bryant's "running business" from the hills of old Kentucky to the city of Dayton, is Ivy Toler, of the Federal Alcohol Tax Bureau here. Bryant is charged with illegal possession, keeper of a place for sales, illegal sales, violation of the Federal Tax, and transportation from one state to another.
