Whisky Flows in Kitchen Faucet

GASTONIA, N.C., Feb. 18 (AP) – Sheriff’s officers arrested a 35-year-old plumber here on whisky charges this weekend after they found in his home a kitchen spigot that would mix its own drinks.

Officers said an ordinary 42-gallon water tank outside the kitchen contained moonshine whisky. A pipe led under the kitchen sink to a valve which could direct either water or whisky to the spigot.

The plumber, Nelson Eidson, was charged with possession of moonshine whisky and released under $500 bond.
