Anniston Star March 17, 1909
Wash Brooks, a young married man of Clay County, was released from the Calhoun 
County jail on a $200 bond Friday morning. He is under charged of illicit 
distilling and was given a preliminary investigation a few days ago before 
Commissioner G. B. Randolph.  Brooks still plant was destroyed by government 
officers one day last week. It was a small plant, but capable of turning out a 
limited quantity of "joyful juice" nevertheless. Brooks didn't deny the charge 
against him but said he had not made much, nor did he intend to manufacture a 
great quantity. He said he only wanted to make a little for use to "break out the 
hives" on his baby. That's what he told the commissioner.
