UcBride Again The raid ;aa conducted by State Prohibition Agent L. L. McBride, aided by Deputy Sheriff Cole and Patrolman. Brown. Almeter's wife was in Ihe house at the time. Al meter was arrested shortly after the raid, while working on the con struction of Ihe new school. The of ficers also confiscated a pint of alleged moonshine which was In the pantry of the Almeter home. Almeter denies that he knew tho liquor was in the house. "A week or ten days ago, a fel low who went by the name of Ed asked If he could store gome camp ing equipment in my basement." Almeter said. ."I told him to go -!.... iwil it never cvciirrpd to me that he stored booze in my base ment. I never go down stairs and the man had It padlocked anyway. "1 know it looks bad for mo be cause they found a bottle of whis key upstairs In the pantry. I don't know just what to do as this is the first time I was ever mixed up in anything like this. "Yes, I knew tho fellow was sell ing the stuff. He came around up at the job once and gave me a bot- i tie. If they just give me the oppor j tunlty to locate the man. ! think I ! can bring the real culprit into court. I don't deal iu the stuff and never have." g McBride expressed the opinion this afternoon that Almeter was tell ing the truth when he mentioned another man having something to do with the liquor, hut insisted Almeter was his partner. "He undoubtedly knew the stuff was there." he said. "Tho house reeked with It when we made our raid and his wife admitted that It was ia tho basement. We found a bottle of the whiskey In his pan try, which makes It look had for him." i Almeter has been a resident of Klamath Falls for the last six months and with his father is con structing tho new Central school building on the corner of Seventh and High streets. A charge of possession of intox icating liquor will be pressed against Almete, according to McBride.
