Dry Dragnet Catches Quint Of Ky. Officers
Princeton Kentucky June 4 Five of the chief law enforcement officers of Princeton and Caldwell counties have been arrested in a sweeping clean up of alleged prohibition law violators that started this week when 250 search warrants were issued from the office of the city judge. The officials arrested were Sheriff Henry Lowery State's Attorney T C Bennett Chief of Police Charles Martin County Judge M R Smith and Deputy Sheriff Sid Cantril. They all were charged with handling liquor according to City Judge R F Door and were released on bonds ranging from 1000 to 5000. Judge Door said the clean up had been under consideration for three months during which time a series of conferences were held between a few prominent citizens here and Federal Judge Charlie H Moorman and District Attorney W Sherman Ball of the Western District United States Court. Last week he said it was impossible to get a drink in most any church and it was nothing unusual to see a bootlegger teaching a Sunday school class. The letters down tight now he asserted.
