200 Rum Cases Pending.
Two hundred liquor cases already
are in the hands of the county attor
ney's office awaiting action, Surgt.
Williams said.
"Th office is swamped with crim
inal business," lie declared. "If hi
staff could handle more buslnes, It
would be poslble to Invoke the In
junction against offenders. But it
l.tn't, and we get the same men three
and four tlmea. The heaviest line we
are able to put on them In police
court is $100. That means little to
them. If we couUl bring them down
here and send them to Jail for six
months we would stop a lot of the
traffic."
Promise of big profits without
work causes a new bootlegger to
spring Into being every time one is
arrested and put out of business, ac
cording to the sergeant.
"The desire to obtain without pay
Ing, that's the answer In a nutshell,"
bt said.
Failure to wipe out ruin hasn't
wiped out tliu sergeant's desire to

them all the law we can choke down
their throats," he said. "We'll do our
best with what we huve."
