In a daring raid last Friday, Prohibition agents under the watchful eye of Harold D. Wilson, Deputy Prohibition Administrator for Delaware, struck gold in the form of seven illicit stills, over 100 gallons of bootlegged liquor, and a treasure trove of equipment used in the manufacture of the devil’s brew. The operation, discovered deep in the woods near Felton, was a masterclass in moonshine production, with four of the stills in full swing, churning out the hooch at an alarming rate.
