IMPERSONATING PROHI OFFICER Procures Sum of Money From Men Under False Pretenses UNDER FEDERAL WARRANT Practice is Growing in Large Cities Where Bootlegging is Rife Federal warrants were issued in Florence last week for the arrest of Tillman Fields, Ed Hall, Ashley Liles and Wilie McDonald, of the vicinit> of McRee and Betlnme, charging them with "falsely impersonating federal officers," l?y which means they are alleged to have obtained $190 from \V. II. Gardner, of McBee, who has made affidavit that these men got the money out of him by making him think ?they had arrested him for distilling whiskey. The warrants were taken out before United Q? 1VI 1,1 an investigation made by Federal Agents J. L. Youmans, G. P. Stacey, and State Prohibition Constable W. C. Eichelberger. They were handed to a deputy United States marshal at once for service. According; to the.results which the investigation is understood to have developed, these four men are alleged to have caught Mr*.'Gardner and his son, E. R. Gardner, and an old negro, Bill Mitchell in the process of making a little whiskey about May 11, of this year. The officers do not seem to believe that the Gardners were making the whiskey for commercia' purposes but, like some of the old timers?the senior Gardner being more than CO years of age, wanted a little alcohol' for home use. The four defendants are alleged to have represented ' thefnselves as United States revenue officers, the alleged leader, Tillman Fields giving his name as R. J. Reynolds. Mr. Gardner has made'the following affidavit in the case: I, W. H. Gardner state on oath that on or about the 11 dav of May, 1922, Tillman Fields, Ed Hall, Ashley Liles and Willie McDonald came to me between midnight and daylight about one half or three quarters of a mile from my house, met us in the road and when these men were seen, my son, E. R. Gardner spoke to Ashley Liles and asked what he was doing there at this time of night. Liles said "the United States revenue officers," I said to Tillman Fields that 1 did not believe it. Then Tillman Fields threw back his coat open and showed some kind of badge and then pulled a pistol and said, 'I will show you what 1 am.' And said 'go to the still.' I went to the still place. The still was not there, but the still was found near the place, brought to my house and then carried it away with him. On our way to the house, Fields said to me, 'If you don't pay me $150 1 will carry you to the Darlington jail, all three of you tonight.' I told Fields that I only had about $35 in the house. I gave Fields the $35 1 had and drew a check for $155. Fields then told Liles to take the still and go ahead with it. "Signed W. H. Gardner." The officers have the cheek mentioned in the affidavit, which was drawn on the Bank of Bethune and was paid, as the record of the check by the bank shows. It was for $155, made to R. J. Reynolds and bears the endorsement of that name. The authorities got a report of the frame-up. Immediately the investigating officers commenced work. The warrants were the result. Bogus revenue officers and fake officers of all. kinds, are the style in the cities, where bootlegging is rife. But this is the first case of alleged fake officers working on moonshiners. It may add to the terrors of the moonshiners life but at the same time it rnav handicap further operations of ieal prohibition officers. In addition to the chai?ges of impersonating federal officers, the quartet are to be liable for carrying concealed weapons. The four men will be held for preliminary hearing before Commissioner McDonald, in Florence. NOTICE OF SALE 1 1 -- * > * uiiuti aiiu mv viriure or a oecreiat order of his Honor, S. W. G.

Bri I THREESHOPMEN STAND TRIALS The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, acting from Florence, recently obtained in the Federal Court, an injunction against the striking shopmen of that city prohibiting their interference with any of the men who have been employed to break the strike and keep the shops in Florence going. A temporary order was obtained pending a hearing under rule to show cause in Charleston the latter part of last week. Any of the striking shopmen who try to prevent the strikebreakers from attending to their work will be brought up before the judge of the court and tried for contempt of the order of the court. Since the order of injunction was granted three of the strikers have violated it according to nllpfmt.inns made in affidavits submitted to the federal court in Charleston a few days ago. The three men are: W. L. Faulkner, F. R. Basnet, and Henry Jackson. All three are former employees of the Coast Line in the Florence shops. When the matter of their violation of the court's order came up before Judge H. A. M. Smitn in Charleston a few days ago, the men did not appear, but through their attorney, D. Gordon Baker, of Flor ence, they entered a denial of the allegations. Judge Smith then passed an order . to try the three men at a regulai j term of the court and place them under bond in the meantime. The order of Judge Smith was in part as follows: "And it, is therefore ordered that a trial of W. L. Faulkner, F. 11. Basnet and Henry Jackson shall be at the ensuing term of this court to he held in the city of Aiken, S. C., on the first Tuesday of October, 19?2. and that, this case shall be placed in the docket of the court for trial, which trial shall conform to the practice in criminal cases prosecuted upon information." 1 NOTICE OF SALK Under and by virture of a decre- 1 tal order executed by his Honor, S. 1 W.
