My friend intimated that the sher iff and the law bothered him some, but due to a fine communications system, no one is ever caught. He has' lost several good stills. Some sheriffs are easier to handle than others. He always took the worm of the still away from the plant after making a run. The worm is what covuits in rigging up a distillery, so he said. He kept 2 worms as spares. He bought his sugar in small lots, about and about. Yep, he was a most interesting fellow. I am hoping to visit him at his indlatial 2-room log cabin thi» summer.
