there should be no tell tale footprints
Nick Martin was apparently securely
entrenched in the bootlegging busi
ness on a cliff near Hawkins cut-off.
Marshal does and Prohibiiton Officer
Flanagan, however, were tipped off
and arrived on the scene in time to
find the appartus in operation. They
discovered 450 gallons of mash and 30

Martin was arraigned and plead
guilty to two counts, receiving five
months in jail and $300 fine.
The officers said Martin brought in
all his supplies when the tide was
high and hoisted them up the cliff by
means of a rope. On the beach there
was not a track to indicate the loca
tion of the outfit.
