The Handy Man
West Virginia hills, authorities have
decided to equip raiding officers and
deputies with machine guns, in order
that they mav be able to cope with
bootleggers and moonshiners without
fear of injury, Commissioner Haynes
announced today.
•‘These gun battles," be quotes a
sheriff as stating, “prove that tho-e
engaged in the making of moonshine
in West Virginia have reached a point
of desperation, and we do not wish to
take any chances of having officers in
jured. Officers armed with revolvers
cannot longer cope with the situation,
and whenever we go on raids hereafter
we will be fully prepared."
