Under the leadership of C.L. Winfrey and Charles Stewart, United States revenue officers, local policeman made one of the biggest raids staged in this section in months, bagging nine 'shiners and destroying a large quantity of mash found in a house near Mine No. 4 at Cabin Hollow near For Ridge, Tenn. The still, which was not in operation at the time of the raid, apparently was being prepared for a "run." It was located not very far from the mouth of the mine in an ideal place for operating. The moonshiners had received word that the officers were in the section and before they arrived a large quantity of mash had been destroyed. However, the officers located three barrels of beer and a small quantity of liquor, which was dumped. In addition to this 750 pounds of raw sugar which the mountaineers used to make their "due", was found in a house near the mine where the mash was located. The moonshiners made no attempt to resist the officers and were brought to Middlesboro about 11 o'clock along with the still which is being held in the city hall. Local officers taking part in the raid included Policeman DeBusk, Yeary, Thompson, and Deputies Hill Woodson, John Maxwell and Rudolph Wells. The moonshiners were under the leadership of Ben McCrary, who looked like a patriarch with his 65 years of age weighing heavily on his shoulders, but who, the men claimed, was a born leader in the "business." The alleged 'shiners and bootleggers were taken to Knoxville and will be given a hearing before the United States commissioner there today. Officers DeBusk and Yeary will appear as witnesses against the prisoners. _____________________________X-Message: #3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Submitted by E-mail Registry submittor Sandi Gorin Date: 12 Oct 2003 Subject: [KYF] OBIT: Ada Smith, 1971, Monroe Co. ------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information.
