CHAMPION BOOTLEGGER.
■WET GOODS BY MAIL ORDER.
20,000 CUSTOMERS TRACED
NEW YORK, July 21
Jacob Kirschenblatt is supposed to have been the most wholesale bootlegger in America.
He had 20,000 customers, living all the way from Providence to Los Angeles, who bought wet goods from him, according to confiscated lists, and who to-day are prospective witnesses in the great prosecution which the Government has launched against this millionaire.
The District-Attorney will summons every one if there is no other way of getting a conviction.
The police say that Kirschenblatt operated throughout the country through a mail order business.
His agents took orders in many States, to which liquor was forwarded, the trunks containing the liquor and the keys to open them being mailed separately.
