The liquor was loaded on a siding about .10 miles from Charleston and billed to Brooklyn. The contents were listed on the bill of lading a.mouldor's clay and weight given for each car at <><>,000 pounds, which at 11 pounds to the gallon, would make the seizure nearer 12,000 gallons than 10,000. Deputy Sheriff Lawience Mel>an in 40me way "smelled a rut" Thursday and notified Sheriff Kraswell of his suspicions. A search warrant w as secured' and thq,,?wo cars opened At the entrance of the cai> was piled big sacks of moulder's clay and after these were removed there was disclosed hundi^tls of cases of hottied in bond whiskey, each case neatly packed in gunny sacks. Six quarts and 12 pints were said to l>e in each case, the bottled bearing a label "Made in Montreal." The name of the whiskey was "Golden Wedding." The officers sealed the cars, set a guard over them for the night and this morning proceeded with the work of destruction. The cars were shifted to a siding on a steep fill, a huge fire made at the bottom and the cases dumped on to this fire and consumed. Gathered around with watery mouths and hungry eyes were scores of spectators viewing the consumption by fire of around 10,000 gallons of whiskey which, in the course of business, would probably have sold for a quarter of a million dollars in , Brooklyn and New York.
