My friend intimated that the sher

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,

interesting fellow. I am hoping to
visit him at his indlatial 2-room log
cabin thi» summer. This will be a
pleasure trip, and not business.
