SHERIFF FINDS 2
STHLSRUNNING
Alf Brown and Will Wil
liams Are Brought to
Jail
“One for supper and one for
breakfast,” is the way Sheriff told
yesterday of two raids he made Fri
day nig'rt, bringing in Alf Brown and
Will., yV-wiams, two negroes, charged
with making liquor.
Whe>the sheriff and Deputy Tom
Summers arrived at the home of
Brown they found the liquor run
ning, with about a pint in the re
ceiving pan, and a lot of offal which
indicated a run had already been
finished before they arrived. The ar
rest of Brown was partly an acci
dent. Several days ago two war-!
rants charging him with pointing a
pistol and carrying concealed weap
ons were given the sheriff to execute,
and last night was the first oppor
tunity he had to go out and bring in
his prisoner. When he reached the
neighborhood he detected the famil
iar fumes of boiling beer and arrived
just in time to catch Brown at work,
with a lard can still steaming away
in the kitchen of his home. He lives
on. L. G. Council’s lower river nlari

our minds until we were ready for
bed. We occupied adjoining rooms
“Sleep if you can, Ann,” I advis
ed her. -"You may need steady
nerves tomorrow.”
“Was it a college boy who took
the key?” she asked and I knew
from her shaking voice that in
spite of her brave game of cards,
the poor child was aroused at
to the enormity of her mischance
“The college kid may not have

liquor.” The fact that his still, made
of a large zinc basin, was equipped
with a good copper worm, seemed
to bear this out. He told Sheriff
Harvey that he had been making li
quor a long time, but that he only
sold a couple of quarts each week
“to keep from bothering Mr. Coun
cil for too much money.”
Williams and Brown were both
brought into Americus last night and
placed in jail. There are four
charges against Brown, and two
against Williams. TWo of these be
ing felonies, will be tried in Superior
court when that tribunal meets in,
been a detective, in disguise, nosing
around, as you and I imagine,’ I
said to comfort her. “Maybe he was
truly an honest agent, and he
snitched the key' for a joke, the way’
boys act, you know!"
“I know that all boys want to be
detectives,” Ann said. “Even if
this one discovered the key by ac
cident, he’ll find the .name of the
bathhouse and a number of the room
on the tag. And then?”
“And then—he will just natural
ly take that key to the police head
quarters and tell where he found it.
And we will get the result very
early in the morning. We might as
well face the facts, Ann” I said, and
I tucked her into her big bed as ten
derly as if she were a child.
She was so tiny, so helpless, a
tov in the hands of a tricky fate.
Dozens of girls as winsome as she,
carelessly out for a good time as she
had been, as ignorant of life and as
easily flattered as she*—might end
any' day—in the same Tragic situ
ation. I shed a few tears as I kiss
ed her good night.
“Your mother is probably on her
way here. Do you recollect that
daddy wired her to come at once
and take charge of the decorating
business? She’ll be here soon. That s
a comfort. And, as for your hus
band —do you want me to wire
Jim?”
“Oh, no! No! No!
“You’re right,” T agreed. 1 did
not dare to think about Jim. His
pride would be broken—when the
dreadful news finally came out.
“Now I’m going to my room to
-read my letter from Bob. 11l leave
the door open,” I said.
Ann called me back.
“The police took the numbers ot
all autos at the beach. Have you
thought about that?”
“I have, but I hoped you had not,
I said. ,
“At this very minute, they know
all about me and Ives,” she sobbed.
I let her cry. It was time that she
had a hard flit of weeping, time she

“They do,” I admitted. “Doubt
less they have already talked with
all of Ives’ former employes, includ
ing the messenger. And, when they
link up what he says with you. and
with the number of our car—”
“Jane, the police would never
come to see me first.” This idea
made Ann sit up in bed. “They’d
go to 'daddy and his lawyers!” ,
“Out of the mouths of babes,”
thought 1. That’s exactly what they
would do—and exactly what they
must not do. For, as sure as death
is death, if Daddy Lorimer gets ex
cited, he will have another “stroke.”

It appeared to me that I had to
make a choice between Ann and
daddy, that they must wait until Bob
came home? That daddy positively
must not dream that his new daugh
ter-in-law was connected with the
murder of Claude Ives?
The possibility terrified me. If I
went to thp chief of police with any
such proposition, I would be con
demning Ann, if she were suspected,
or I would betray her, if she was
unsuspected.
Must I choose between her and
Daddy Lorimer?
Ann, in her white bed, kept chat

“I can see that you do believe —
