Farm Owners Face Seizure Over Illicit Distilling
Springfield May 8 Two Illinois farmers risk losing land to the government under a new move to enforce liquor prohibition by confiscating farms used for illicit distilling. Walter M. Provine federal prosecutors said one operation on Joseph Englehaupt’s Putnam county farm produced a continuous alcohol flow, stored in a vat, while five bootleggers were arrested. The suits seek forfeiture and include misprision of felony charges for owners who rented property knowing it would house illicit manufacturing. The actions hinge on an internal revenue statute and set for answer May 25 in Peoria.
