The police captured a complete and up-to-date whiskey-making outfit consisting of a copper still of the wash boiler type, and worm, together with a small quantity of high proof liquor in a raid on a house at 1720 Seventh street Sunday afternoon which resulted in Howard Hutchinson, 22? years old, on a formal charge of unlawfully manufacturing intoxicating liquor.
The information on which the raid was made is said to have been from Hutchinson’s wife, Flora Hutchinson, following some trouble with her husband.
The defendant is detained at the city jail pending his hearing in Municipal court Tuesday where the wife has also been ordered to appear to meet a similar charge.[1]
