Reames recounted shipments consigned to Alaska liquor dealers diverted to Logan. The Day and Night drug store wreck and a deadly gunfight at the Billingsley warehouse led to arrests and $30,000 bail. Papers tied to the crimes were seized, then manipulated to aid the Billingsleys. Logan paid officials and destroyed documents while police and the mayor faced subpoenas and recoveries.
