Liquor line case dominates Oklahoma City court
Oklahoma City awaits the massive liquor conspiracy trial in federal court. The sprawling case involves a mix of suspects including a Negro dress maker, a Negro millionaire, several policemen, and a state attorney general aide, reflecting Potawatomi county’s rough political and economic shifts tied to oil wealth. Judge S. Vaught presides as witnesses recount protection rackets, a rogue “liquor line” spanning town to county, and violence tied to prohibition era enterprise. The trial highlights waves of Prohibition era corruption as investigators and prosecutors push to expose the intricate web of bootlegging and graft.
