Man Denies Knowing Car Was Being Used For Carrying Liquor

It's all being a mistake about his car being seized by the government on the grounds that is was used in liquor dealings, Ray Smith of Winston-Salem said in papers filed in Middle District Court here today.

Smith says that on the day the car was seized he had merely sent his brother Odell "to the store for some salt to salt a hog down," and the next thing he knew the government had grabbed the car.

Odell, he said, never had any reputation or messing with liquor, and how was he, Ray, to suspect that any wrongdoings from being carried out with the car, if they were.

Ray Smith wants his car back, but the government wants it forfeited on a charge that it was used by James Odell Smith, Walter Hilton, and Bobby Louis DeVault in removing and concealing nontaxpaid liquor.
