Sparks Reveal Secret Cave Moonshine Still
In Rockdale County a small cave under a hillside housed a fully equipped illicit distillery. Officers Colonel David A. Gates and Deputies John Lane, John Hays, and John New destroyed about one hundred gallons of beer and five gallons of singlings after sparks led them to the hidden operation. The cave featured a well and a hidden entrance, with a cleverly concealed ladder and dirt discharge, and the moonshiners had removed all trace of dirt and footpaths to thwart pursuit. The operation, eerily illuminated by a furnace glow, was abandoned by unseen operators.
