STATE'S LARGEST STILL FOUND IN Revenue men yesterday found the biggest still which has ever been located in the county ajid perhaps in the state when they made a closo search of the building at 1913 137th St., whree John Kzokaitls had been arrested a few days :'go. Almost a ton of rye. part of It in mash form, had boen found on the premises end the still which was said to be John's property but which was found at a different address was not considered of p. capacity equal to the amount of rye fou nd. The ccrpcr bo!cr wtilch served as part of the t-1 i 1 1 h.-i capacity of seventy-Jive gallons and vxs estimated to have a distilling Apucity of from fifty lo seventy-fivQ gallons a day. Although 9 large still, it va not one of the best and the whiskey which was turned out was not as good as some turned out by more complete but smaller stllis. The revenue men conceived the idea that a still must be located In the building from drawings in a little red book which did not conform to the plans of the still which was first seized. After considerable search the still was found in a false ce'.iar. the floor over which was removable but which served in the (rdinary course of events as a bae for the kitchen cook stove. The revenue men had to move the store and lift the floor before they could get to the still. It is evident from drawings in the 'little red book" that John had made extensile plans for distilling whiskey r.nd the police and revenue men are still looking for another outfit which it is thought ho may have located at another address.
