Three Bound Over In Federal Whiskey and Perjury Cases
Jim Gibson and Raymond Thompson were bound over to federal district court on an internal revenue act charge and with Henry Phillips bound over for trial on a conspiracy to commit perjury charge after hearings before United States commissioner Thomas P. Holt. A raid on Gibson’s home near Allen uncovered non tax paid whiskey and tax paid whiskey, triggering the federal whiskey case and leading to Phillips’s perjury charge. Phillips testified he was paid to plant whiskey and identified a $15 check from Gibson. Wadlington denied the plan and blamed McKeehol for the earlier statement. Thompson’s bonds were set at 2000 dollars in the whiskey case and 1500 dollars in the perjury case, while Phillips faced a 1500 dollar bond on perjury. Gibson and Thompson were charged with possession of whiskey after the raid.
