Barrels Seized in Maryland Liquor Raid by Deputies
Deputy Sheriff Bradley Carr and Special Deputy Arthur Whipp raided Louis Schlossberg’s store near Forest Glen after a warrant from Rev. Charles O. Rosensteen. They seized fifteen cider barrels, several gallons of wine and whiskey and beer, locked the remaining liquor in Schlossberg’s cellar, and jailed him on $200 bail. He will be tried in Rockville Wednesday. The raid followed Father Rosensteel’s suspicions about the legality of Schlossberg’s popular establishment under the local option law, which treats large quantities on premises as prima facie evidence of violation.
