Sept. 251—(AP). A bootleg ring smashed by raids here took orders for 4,800 cases of Scotch whiskey worth $210,000 in‘a single day. deposited as much as 8200.000 in one bank a month. and received at least one letter of credit for 850.- 000. it is revealed by Federal At- torney Buckner. - Cable and signal codes. charting the routes used by ships. bills for huge quantities of liquor labels and evidence that members of the ring have brokerage accounts running into substantial figures were found by the raiders. Thirteen men regarded as mem- bers of the ring were arrested by federal agents and police .in two raids on offices of a pseudo real on. late firm in the theatrical district Wednesday. Fourteen others are be. ing sought. With records of large liquor pur- chases in Rum Row. Mr. Buckner said he had several 31 bills torn in half. On parts of the bills that matched were such notations as "600 cases" and ”1,000 cases." The rum runner sent out front shore presented half of the torn bill to the skipper of the rum ship chartered by the syndicate. The skipper had the other half of the bill, and the runner got his liquor. The code used in cubic messages and to signal rum ships from shore. contained such designation: as Wy- axy for chanipaign; Wuyos. Scotch whiskey: Wuyir, gin. There were code letters for such phrases as “Munro's House of Lords." "King Willianv VOP." the names of the steamships. many brands of liquor and such bits of information as “ev- erything'very satisfactory." and “tr- revocable letter of credit." Arthur Kraus. one of the defendants not. yet arrested, obtained a $50,000 let- ter of credit from the National City Bank last December. Mr. Buckner says. He deposited 3200.000 in one bank in a single month. May 23 last was the banner order day. when 4.800 cases were sold. 11111121: AUTOS 1N COLLISION Th1ee automobiles-s figured in a slight collision this morning at the corner of Raymond and South Main streets.
