C. A. Worthington Forsakes
Plow for Whisky Still.
FILM GIVES ' INSPIRATION
Pictures of Moonshiners Declared
to Have Given Idea of How to
Get Out of Debt Easily.
Movies inspired C. A. Worthinsrton
to forsake the plow for the still. At
least, this is the explanation he of
fered yesterdajr to federal revenue
agents, who raided his Clackpmas
county farm and confiscated a whisky
fctill, a fe;v srallons of "corn juice"
send a supply of mash.
"I had seen motion pictures of
moonshiners and the way they op
erated their mountain stills so I de
cided I would try it as a means of
Kettinsr out of debt," AVorthingrton
told Jesse E. FlandersT prohibition
agent, who engineered the raid.
And to make the raid in keeping
with the movie-inspired ideas of Far
mer Worthington, his wife pleaded
with the government agents to take
her to jail in her husband's stead.
AVife Ileal for Huxlmnfl.
"He is needed here at the farm to
Trilk the cow and feed the hogs." she
imclored tham. "Please let me go to
jail because I am willing to take
whatever-punishment you fix for my
husband."
Worthlnpton assorted that the hish
cost of livinjr had caused him to let
his feet stray away from the furrow.
"I have not been, operating the still
regularly," he said. "Whenever I
would gret a little in debt I would
manufacture whifcky and sell it and
then pay my bills. Then I'd leave the
still alone until I pot in debt again."
Worthington -is held under bonds
pending action by the federal grand
Jury. which convenes early next
month.
At about tho same hour Flanders
was raiding the still in Clackamas
county, two of his agents played lead
ing roles in a surprise party tendered
to W. C. Crawford, down near dervais.
Ucrvais I'lnnt Raided.
One of the largest illicit beer-manufacturing
plants ever uncovered in
the nortliwest was located at the farm
home of the Gervais insurance agent,
and evidence uncovered by the rev
enue agents pointed to a wholesale
brewery business of large proportions,
they said.
Two large vats, capable of brewing
inoro than 100 gallons of beer at a
time were found. They also located
a bottling machine, a large quantity
of empty bottles and such other para
phernalia as is needed in, all well
, regulated breweries.
Crawford is said to have admitted
fcoing the brewer, but declared that he
thought he was within the law be
cause ths beer would not test more
than a half of 1 per cent alcohol.
After taking small samples of the
Gervais brew, one of the arresting
officers was eager to wager with
Crawford that his product would
show at least 6 per cent alcohol.

both at the chapel and at the ceme
tery. Several hymns which Mr. Sut
cliffe had himself selected were sung
and the scripture leading was also of
bis selection.
Robert Sutcliffe was born in Esholt, j
Yorkshire, England, and was SI years j
old. He came to Oregon in 1909, re- i
maining- a few rr.onths in Yamhill
county and being sent to Cottage
Grove in the fall of that year, i He
served 2he Methodist church here for
Jhree years, going from here to Leb
anon for two years, entering Chau
tauqua work while a resident there.
On account of ill health he gave up
his Chautauqua contract last fall and
since then had made his home here.
