GEORGIA’S TWELVE-MILE LIMIT IS BEING WATCHED
Think Booze
Smuggling on
Big Scale Is
Now Going on
BRUNSWICK, Ga. —Sus
pecting that fast cutters
freight cars and motor
trucks have been utilized
during the past few days in
the smuggling of millions
of dollars worth of liquor
from beyond the 12 mile
limit, state director Fred D.
Dismuke of the federal pro
hibition department is in
this section launching an in
vestigation into the situa
tion.
A freight ear found on the water
front, is believed to have been ready
for the loading of a car of liquor
for shipment labelled as "lumber”
as that seized in Atlanta freight
yards Sunday night , Sufficient
quantity of lumber was discovered
near the car to conceal such a ship
ment.
A car is said to be somewhere
between Brunswick and Atlanta
with prohibition officials keeping a
sharp lookout for it. Outside people
are believed to be the “brains” of
the operation, it was said.
Two negroes, Will Austell and
Tom Glover, have been placed un
der arrest on the suspicion of hav
in assisted in the work. Both men
denied complicity in such a plot.
"MEN HIGHER UP”
ARE BEING SOUGHT
BRUNSWICK. Ga.—Prohibition
agents are in Brunswick Wednes
day endeavoring to establish the
identity of the men "higher up” in
the whiskey scandal emanating
from this city, and while no ar
rests have been made with the ex
ception of two negroes who are
said to have assisted in the load
ing and placing of freight cars in
which whiskey was shipped from i
this place, it is known that the
agents are running down clues.
Arrests are expected in two or
•‘hree Georgia cities of men suspect
ed to have engineered and financed
the shipments. Local records show
that at least five cars have been
shipped from here during the past
several weeks.
Two of the prohibition agents
left hers this morning with the two
negroes, Will Austell and Joe Pino,
for Savannah, where they were to
be taken before the United States
commissioner for preliminary hear
ing this afternoon.
An unconfirmed report is cur
rent that there is now somewhere
in the vicinity of Brunswick suf
ficient liquor for two or three more
carload shipments and every effort
is being made to locate it.
The whiskey, it was said, has
been brought to within ten miles
of Brunswick by steamers and
transferred to small boats for trans
fer to the harbor.
State prohibition agent Dismukea
here Tuesday conferring with local
officials, returned to Atlanta Tues
day night, leaving a number of
special agents to work on the case.
PREDICT END
OF “RUM ROW”
WASHINGTON—“The end of
rum row” is predicted in a treasury
statement published Wednesday,
embodying a review of coastguard
operations in October. A large in
crease in the number of seizures
including seven foreign vessels act
ing as supply ships, is reported.
Progress in combatting liquor
smuggling is attributed in part to
the increase in the coast guard’s
facilities provided for by the last
congress and the ratification of
treaties removing certain restric
tions regarding the seizure of rum
runners. When all the boats an men
provided for becomes available, it is
said, the service expects t«i be able
to stop the leaks at all of the "worst
localities.” ,
How Much Do You Know
About The Great Seal
Of The United
States ?
After the Declaration of Inde

President John Hancock, of the
Continental Congress, appointed

AUGUSTA GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 12, 1924
GEO. C, MARKED!
AND NEGRO PIEOI
WERE KILLED BY
MONOXIDE GAS
Fumes From Exhaust Pipe
of Launch Caused Deaths,
Is Finding of Coroner’s
Jury Here
The H. E. Ferebce,
mate ofthe U. ST dredge Savannah,
that the two men, George C. Mar
kert, white, and Martin Williams,
colored, who were found dead in the
gasolino lalunch "Big Indian” at
Canoe Cut, on the Savannah river,
early Tuesday morning, came to
their death by inhaling the gas
fumes from the boat motor, was
corroborated by the finding of the
coroner's jury at the inquest held
Tuesday, in which it was determin
ed that the men came to their death
from the effects of carbon monox
ide gas. Coroner Elliott conducted
an exhaustive investigation of the
mysterious death of the two men,
and a thorough examination of their
blood and bodies made by Coroner's
Physician Dr. H. W. Shaw, showed
beyond doubt the cause of their
deaths to have been due to the
deadly gas found from the exhaust
pipe of the motor.
Theory as to how the gas entered
the confines of the launch In such
quantities as to be fatal to the men
was developed to be that the rear
door of the launch being open and
a strong wind blowing from that
direction the fumes were forced In
to the bunk quarters where Mar
krt waß asleep and overcome be
fore he could waken, and the pi
lot house, where Williams was sta
tioned at the wheel, being glass en
closed there was no escape from
the gas, and in this way Wil
liams was overcome. The ma
noxide gas is said to be quick In
its deadly actions and a person may
be overcome in a closed place with
in a very few minutes.
PILOT RAN BOAT
INTO JETTIES.
Williams, the pilot of the boat, had
evidently attempted to steer to
the bank, where he could escape
into the fresh air, ns he was found
dead at the wheel and the nose of
the boat was jammed fast to the
Jetties, where the engine of the boat
which was found to be still run
ning when the tragedy was discov
ered, held it against drifting down
stream.
The coroner’s investigation devel
oped further that the two men had
left the city wharf Monday morning
to go down the river to Canoe Cut,
and failing to return after the lapse
of a reasonable length of time, ei
their Monday night or Tuesday
morning, search was started for
them.
Coroner Elliott was notified of
the finding of the two men and had
their bodies brought to the city and
the investigation was held Tuesday
afternoon at the hospital morgue.
Funeral services for Mr. Mar
kert will be held Wednesday after
noon at 4 o’clock from Grace Meth
odist church and Interment will
follow In Sunset Hill cemetery,
North Augusta. The following gen
tlemen will act as pall hearers;
George P. Butler, R. M. Dales. J. E.

Markert; three brothers, Anton,
Herman ad Philip Markert, and two
sisters, Misses Florence and Cath

body.
She spoke one word Tuesday,
"Don’t”, and since tdkf time has
