REFORMED MOONSHINER
GUIDES RAID ON SON’S STILL. A youth of 20 was in gaol at Louisville, Kentucky, because his father, who had “done time" for making moonshine whisky, led Federal officers to his son's still and asked them to arrest him. The father, James Moore, insisted that he was “doing the best thing for the bov,” and that “it was the only wav to teach him a lesson.” ■The son, William Arthur Moore, on the other hand, was bitter, blaming his crime on the father. Moore led the officers to the still. His son and Eugene Moorehead, aged 40, were tending it. Taking the youth by the arm, Moore said: “Take the boy and let the rest go. I want to teach him not to mess with whisky." The son pulled from Moore’s grasp and answered — “you should have thought of that when I was a kid, before you beat me into learning this game. You’re a fine father, you are, to turn on me like this.”
