Mr. Hock and Joseph Showers, Hock's brother-in-law, are at present un- der arrest, charged with having a '.still in their possession. The raid was staged under the direction of F. W. Snyder, special agent, who is in charge of the anti-saloon work. Called to Door. Mr. Schindler stated that he was first called to his door Wed nesday evening by a man who gave his name as Bailey, and who claimed to have been sent for "booze" by Andrew Wachter, a neighbor of Schindler'!. "I haven't anything to sell you I'm a prohi," Schindler says he explained to the officer "Besides 1 think you're a stool pigeon." A hasty denial followed this ac cusation, Schindler says In due time the man, who was one of a party in an enclosed automobile departed. "Officers" Flash Gun. It was several minutes later, Schindler says, after he had re turned to a game of cards, that he determined to visit the Wachter place to ascertain whether Wach ter had dispatched the visitor to his place. As he essayed to open the doors to his garage, Schindler says he was accosted in a highly dramatic, wild west fashion by a man who shoved a flashlight and a revolver in his face. "You called me a 'stool pigeon' --well I've got you anyway," Schindler says the man declared. "What do you mean you've got me I haven't any booze," Schind ler says he returned. House Is Searched. A subsequent search of the Schindler roperty, made without a search warrant, tended to bear out Mr. Schindler's statement. No charge was preferred against Schindler, and Judge G. E. Unruh, who issued a search warrant for the Hock home, was not aware un til today that the Sch.ndler place had been visited. "I issued no warrant for Schind ler's," Judge Unruh said this morning. Resentful at being handcuffed, especially in view of the fact that he is at present undergoing medi cal treatment and is under the care of a physician, Mr. Schindler says he demanded that his arms be freed of the shackles. Told Not to Get Sassy. "Don't get sassy with us," he says he was laconically warned by one of the officers. At various times during the evening's entertainment, Mr. Schindler says he was cursed roundly, thoroughly and well. When he failed to trave' with suf ficient speed to please his raptors, his movements were accelerated, he declares, with jabs and prods. At the Hock place, where, Mr. Schindler says, he was taken by the officers after their search of his home had failed to disclose any evidence against him, he was lined up with Mr. Showers and Mr. Hock, who also were handcuffel. At times, he declares, he was marched around the house in front of the agents in a manner that would have done credit to the pre- Test Statute On the issuance of an order signed by Judge Bingham sustain ing the demurrer and dismissing cautionary sense of any prison warden.
