This is the way he explained it. to a reporter for the Charleston; Deader: When a prospective victim is “spotted” but who is slick enough to keep out from under all incrimi nating evidence the. prohibitioh de partment and the county prosecu-j tor’s office will at once get together, and throw the slick one into jail, j They won’t charge him with violating' the jirohibi'ion law, you understand, j but they’ll accuse him with being a: vagrant and consistent idler. Under j recent laws and regulations adopted as war measures, an idler and vag- j i rant doe® not fare any too well with! the rest of (human kind. j So that’s iihe new job of the pro hibition officers. If they can’t get [ their quarry in their own specific1 way laid out many months ago,1 they’ll just grab ’em 'because they; won’t work. Advertise in The World.
