Still owner Grace wins dismissal over illegal still charge
Attorneys for Allen Grace, a farmer near Alliance, won a county court dismissal when prosecutors could not prove that the still was used to manufacture liquor. County officers had seized a copper boiler, coil, oil stove, and pressure tank found at the Grace farm. Evidence showed arrests require product and materials, but with limited proof the state faced a difficult path in district court, avoiding further expense.
