BOOTLEGGERS' HOARD.
£2,000,000 MYSTERY.
PHILADELPHIA, October 26.
The District Attorney (Mr. Monaghan) is occupied in solving the mystery surrounding a hoard of £2,000,000 deposited by bootleggers in the Union Trust Company.
If he can trace the fifteen depositors and bring them before a grand jury, he believes that he will have the key to a great police scandal.
These fifteen accounts quite evidently give fictitious names. One, Herbert Wilson, for nine months has been credited with £300,000 in his account.
Tho Quaker industrial alcohol distillery is under investigation, and the leading character in the entire inquiry is Max Hoff, known amongst his roughneck friends as "800 Boo."
