Millions Used in Violating Volstead Act
United States district attorney Leroy W. Ross charged that foreign and domestic capital totaling millions supported a conspiracy to violate the Volstead act by running cargoes of liquor to U S ports in a fleet of sailing vessels. Seizures included a sloop off Connecticut and amplification facilities along the Atlantic coast. Ross warned that violators would face conspiracy charges with potential two to five year prison terms.

Capt J A Roy said he would sail when ready. Revenue officers warned a ship named Pocomoke could be listed as a pirate if it sails prior to release.
