Jersey Sheriff Linked to Bootleg Ring Indictment
Sussex County Sheriff Denton J. Quick, once camp head at Nordland, faces federal charges with 17 others for conspiracy to violate the Internal Revenue law and running an unregistered still that produced 19,000 gallons of high-grade alcohol and defrauded $80,000 in taxes. Indictments list two suspended Treasury agents accused of taking a bribe to help a prisoner escape during the raid. Quick, a Republican leader, asserts no knowledge of a still as probes claim collusion between county officials and operators on three farms. The case follows Quick's Memorial Day raid on Camp Nordland and spurred state moves against the German American Bund auxiliary.
