Small Drink Linked to Liquor Confiscation and Trials
A West Broadway liquor raid led to destruction of wet stock valued around 300 dollars after a judge found evidence of illegal sale. Thomas Cotton dumped whiskey from a half gallon jar while George Neilson and others faced charges for bootlegging and similar violations. Bonds were set for nearby defendants as prosecutors pursued enforcement. Washington reports note twenty-five combatant and 17 skeletonized divisions returning home as Army demobilization progresses.
