PRISONER S FRIEND HELD FOR THREATS Partisan Is Alleged to Have Menaced Witness. y MOONSHINE CASE BEGINS .Employ of Defendant Is Arrested on Charjft ol Saying He Would Throw Man Out Window. Violent partisanship for the pris oner at the bar. In one of the most important raoonshining cases of the year, caused tbe arrest yesterday of Hike Basich, an Austrian, who was laid to have threatened to throw one of the government's witnesses from a window of the federal Dunning. The trial was the Newberg still case, rn which John Basich, no kins man of Mike, but a close friend, was accused of having: engaged in illicit liquor manufacture on a wholesale basis. The caso opened before Fed eral Judge Bean yesterday morning. J Later it was adjourned until Monday, oninf to the indisposition of couscl for the defense, Barnett Goldstein. Mike IfciMch, frowning heavily, met Mike .Mikolish. a federal witness, in the corridor outside the courtroom and violated the etiquette of courts and cases by adopting a pugnacious attitude. He launched at Mikolish a tirade of abuse, it is said, for daring to appear against his friend. Threat Is Alleged. "I got a good notion to throw you from this here window," threatened Basich, according to witnesses. "I tell you now, Mikolish, for your own good. If you testify against John this etate will be too hot to hold you, Deputy Federal Attorney Flegel comforted the aggrieved witness and proceeded to the proper punishnfcnt of Basich, by causing his arrest on the charge of attempting to Intimi date a witness. A Jury was selected during the morning session of the moonshine case, and one witness had been ex amined when Attorney Goldstein asked the court for an adjournment, pleading a throat trouble as the rea son for delay. C. R. Stipe, federal prohibition In spector, testified regarding his visit to the 'Newberg still, alleged to have been conducted by John Basich, and ra'ded on August 4. The structure in which the still was located was burned down at the order of Federal Prohibition Agent Smith. Seizure Is Described. Stipe testified that in addition to the huge copper still, which he identified, there were SOU gallons of mash in th thoroughly equipped distillery and ap proximately 250 gallons of moonshine whisky. Water had been piped into the building and all preparations for an intensive manufacturing campaign were complete to the last detail. Deputy Federal Attorney Flegel, In his opening statement, declared tha the government would show that Ba sich leased the nroDerty for no othei purpose than the manufacture of liquor, built thereon his distillery, in stalled the still and delivered hug Quantities of ingredients and em pioyed two foreign workmen. Bob Ugan and Mike Baaich, at monthly sal aries of J250 to operate the still. Both employes already have pleaded guilty to the charge of operating and have paid fines of 250 each. "It is not the government's claim that John Basich did the work," said Mr. Flegel. "He hired this done, but he reaped the profits. r ? V if kV .;. i, a.
