“The alcohol is for my wife. She
was sick and needs a stimulant". ’1‘th
is the explanation the uptown police
say that Salvator Curci. 247 Lexington
menus. Bridgeport. gave late yester-
day afternoon. when he was arrested
for violation of the prohibition law. A
half-gallon Jug of grsin alcohol was
found underneath the front seat of
Curei's truck.
A rather unusual feature in the case
was the manner in which the uptown
police were “tipped off" to the alleged
liquor violation. Motorcycle Patrol-
man Charles L. Thorpe answered the
telephOno.
"There is a truck parked in Vani
street at the Baton Store which is
being used to transport liquor." do.
clared an’ "unknown" voice over the
phone.
Patrolman Thorpe and Murphy
found the truck and also the grain
alcohol.
(‘urci admitted owning the truck.
but the driver of the machine mun-
nged to make a getaway. Curci told
the police that he didn't know the
driver's name. The case was turned
{over to Prohibition Agent i-‘laherty
- and will come before U. 8. Commis-
sioner Lavery for a hearing.
