Golden History Moment: Bad Week for Bootleggers
101 Years Ago
The moonshine business, which a writer quoted in the Literary Digest says is now the seventh largest industry in the United States, got a rather severe jolt in the Jefferson county court last Saturday. Two men were given heavy fines and jail sentences and a third was fined.
Colorado Transcript – February 3, 1921
“7th Industry Gets Hard Jolt in County Court” described a banner week in Jefferson County’s campaign to catch bootleggers.
L. Thuett of Golden was found with “four barrels of raisin mash and nearly three gallons of whiskey.” He was fined $200 and sentenced to three months in the county jail.
Marx Denzau of Golden was in possession of several gallons of beer and a small amount of whiskey. He was fined $100.
George McQueen of Fairmount was found with “a complete still, several gallons of mash and one and one-half gallons of hootch.” He was fined $200 and sentenced to ninety days in jail.
William Babcock, living a few miles north of Golden, was in possession of “a big still, two barrels of mash and twelve gallons of whiskey.” He was awaiting trial.
It is evident that moonshiners and bootleggers will get no sympathy when they go before Judge McCall, if they plead guilty or are proven guilty.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
