Smugglers Move Gin Across Frozen Detroit River
Toronto reports a field day for liquor smugglers as six inches of ice with a narrow open water gap allowed rapid shipments to Detroit. Smugglers used autos, sleighs, and toboggans, while Detroit customs chief Sumner Sleeper and aides quit, leaving a large open window for operations observed by hundreds along the shore. Small boats with beer cartons maneuvered through breaks in the ice and vans marked furniture and express sped away on the Detroit side after landings.
