Lawton bootlegger William L. Rogers will stand trial Sept. 18 on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of his four minor children and on illegal possession of liquor. A raid at 410 N Railroad led to the charges, with Rogers posting $500 bonds after pleading innocent.

Trials start 9:30 a.m. Sept. 18, first the possession charge then the delinquency case. In a separate raid near Bishop school, Ralph Hudson admitted ownership of confiscated liquor and faced illegal possession charges with Roy Jenkins. Jenkins was dropped. Hudson released on $500 bond.
