...days later Wynne & Reeves was just another business failure. Two students tipped off Dean of Administration William C. Jones, got $30 in expense money from him, bought a bootleg exam. The dean called the district attorney, and investigators raided the apartment, seizing Wynne and the crib sheets.

The college bounced the student peddlers and fired the watchman, but by the time the bootlegging was discovered, it was too late to substitute exams.

He will continue to write, but there will be nothing for which world capitalists will sing his praises...
MOONSHINE WHISKY accounts for 25% of U.S. liquor consumption, says Licensed Beverage Industries Inc., and bootleg output of about 76 million gallons a year costs almost $1 billion in lost taxes. Law officers nipped 25,608 moonshine stills in 1956. Palatable Southern moonshine is now going into northern cities, is often used to refill bottles of name brands and sold in bars...
