In brief, the indictment, which is Hart and Reddy entered into an agreement with Orr to release liquor in excess of the jegni limitations to certain persons who would apply for releases through Orr amd that Orr then conspired with Murphy and Lynch to obtain possession of per- -| mits; that Lynch stole 300 permits s| which he turned over to Murphy and | that Orr then arranged to have, the other individual defendants and the four drug companies, all of whom are alleged to have been engaged in the liquor traffic, handle the stolen permits. It is directly charged that Hart and Reddy signed the permits, knowing them to have been stolen. Tha.

It | would appear from the sifting of all these statements that the Govern- ment will attempt to prove that»10,- 000 cases of whiskey, worth $30 a case at the distillery and $100 a cas® to the boofleggers, were released and dis- poted of under the stolen ite. Had all thé permits been used the profits would have run to figures be- yond the dreams of the most au- dacious war profiteer. SAYS SEIZURE LED TO DIs- COVERIES. Maxwell 8.
