Prohibition Enforcement Shifts in Alabama Governorship
In Alabama, Governor Kilby’s reform agenda saw Conrad W. Austin chosen to lead the Prohibition Enforcement Department. Austin, with Kilby’s approval, staffed deputies while the chief remained in place until a rift over raids on Mobile homes last week. A 1920 extra session expanded funding to 60000 for law enforcement, enabling more staff amid broader crime pursuits. Raids in Mobile on July 20 entered homes of prominent locals including Albert P. Bush and Henry Hall with bottles of home brew and blackberry wine seized.
