All Florida tin canners would be suspected, and in the cases of real bootleggers only a trailer or a cheap, broken-down machine could be confiscated. “In the case now on hand it was a rather expensive car that was towing. & car of the v cheap class. and out of commission at tha BRIDGE BUILDER DIES.
