CAPTURE OF AN ILLICIT DISTILLERY NEAR
OTTOVILLE
Toledo Commercial
of last Saturday contains the following account of the capture of an illicit
distillery in this county:
Messrs.
Breckenridge and Emmick, deputy internal revenue collectors of this district, made a rich haul
yesterday afternoon in Putnam county in the shape of an illicit distillery, and
several barrels of alcoholic liquor. The officers had been on the track of this
illicit still for several months, but were not able to locate it until a few
days ago.
Yesterday morning
Messrs. Emmick and Breckenridge took the train for Delphos, and after reaching
that place secured a team and carriage and started out along the country road
in the direction of Ottoville. After driving about 4 and one half miles they
reached the farmhouse of Anton Rollinger, the
suspected party. A careful hunt of the premises was made and the officers soon
came across the illicit distillery. It consisted of a square brick arch or
fireplace with a hole in the top of it in which to set a copper kettle. The
arch was so arranged that a fire could be placed under the kettle and after the
mash had been placed in it and the fire started the still was ready for
business.
The kind of liquor
that Rollinger distilled was what is termed “apple-jack”, and is as clear as
crystal and smells very much like Holland gin, and those who are good judges of
liquor say that it is more powerful than most of the liquor sold.
The officers
gathered up all portions of the still they could carry away and brought them to
this city and turned them over to Internal Revenue Collector Waldorf to be used as evidence against Rollinger. The officers had no
authority to arrest Rollinger and were compelled to return to the city without
him. Marshal Wade, however, left for Delphos last night to arrest him and bring him to
the city, where he will have a hearing before Commissioner Hall some time
today.
The officers state
that Rollinger acknowledged that he had been running the still for the past
three or four years, and stated to the officers that his brother sent him the
still from Switzerland a number of years ago. The officers found four barrels
of applejack on the premises of which they took possession. They only brought
about a gallon of the liquor to the city with them in a “little brown jug”.
Rollinger made no attempt to deny that he had been operating an illicit
distillery and did not try to shirk the responsibility. He told the officers
that he was not going to run away and he would be on hand as soon as the United
States Marshal came after him.
Several illicit
stills have been unearthed during the past two or three years in this portion
of the state, but the still captured yesterday is about one of the neatest,
most simple and convenient of any. It has the capacity to make from 10 to 15
gallons of liquor each day. Rollinger confessed that he had been doing a very good
job, paying business by selling the liquor to farmers and others during the
past two or three years. The officers pronounce the liquor to be of superior
grade, being about 90 percent pure. They say that no inexperienced hand could
have turned it out.
It appears to be a plain case, for which
Rollinger and his assistants will suffer. The penalties are very severe. On one
charge alone the fine is from $500 to $5,000, with from three months’ to three
years’ imprisonment.
The seizure was
cleverly made, and will have a tendency to lessen this kind of business, in the
tenth revenue district at least.
Later. --- The
Commercial of last Tuesday contains the following.
Marshal B. F. Wade and Deputy Marshal John J. Hackett went to Delphos on Sunday to arrest Anton
Rollinger, charged with running an illicit still. Anton had fled, but son,
Joseph Rollinger, was arrested and brought to Toledo. He was given a hearing before
Commissioner Hall yesterday and bound over in the sum of $1,000 to await trial
at the next session
