The raid on the Schindler home
was made late Wednesday night,
co-incidentally with the search of
Frank Hock's property, where a
large still and 110 gallons of mash
were said to have been found. 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
