WINDHAM CO. "M00NBIIINEH8." A Full History of tbe Wbole THE PAST WHICH DAVIDSON, IBANK I1ATWABD AND O. W. TATT HAD IN IT TAFT TATS VT, IIAYWAKD IS DISCHARGED, AND DAVIDSON 1IAKZS A CX.XAM BBEAST, WHICH RESULTS IK THE A EE est or TWO wealtdi men, one in JAMAICA AND ONE IN WAHDSDOUO. Buelinoton, March 1st, 1881.

Mr. Editor So many sensational reports have been published in regard to "Windham county moonshiners," perhaps you will like to give your readers the true facts in regard to the whole matter. July 17, 1879, a small spirit still was seized by United States officers on the premises of Isaac N. Fike in the Fikes Falls district in Jamaica, and It. A.

Davidson of Jamaica and Frank Hayward of llondvillo were arrested on charge of Illicit distilling. They were held to bail on tbe 18th before a United States commissioner in the sum of $300 each, Fika becoming their bail. On tho 18th of August following Fike surrendered Hayward in bis own discharge as bail. He was committed to Windham county jail on the 20th and remained until the 28tb, when be obtained new bail. At the term of the U.

S. circuit court at Rutland In October, 1879, information was filed against Davidson, Hayward, and Geo. W. Taft of West Townsbend, all charged with illicit distilling. On the 4th 'of February, 1680, Taft's still wa seized and ho was arrested and held to bail before a United States commissioner in the sum of $300.

The whole matter then slumbered as it was until the appointment of Col. Kittredge Uaskins as United States attorney about the first of Kovemberlast, Fike, tho bail for Davidson, baviDg been in tbe mcautliuo put under guardianship. The new district attorney took immediate measures to see if tbe United States bad any just claims in these cases. Taft was arrested on a capias issued from the U. S.

circuit court Not. 20, 1880, and promptly settled bis case to tbe full satisfaction of the U. S. attorney. Davidson and Hayward remaining defiant they were arraigned before the U.

B. circuit court atltutland, Jan. 18, 1881, and full preparation mado to insure their conviction. Hayward at tbe last moment told tbe attorney what be knew about the matter, and having been simply an bis case was nol pros'd. Davidson, finding he must be beld and sent to prison, stepped aside in Uino to avoid bis trial, with tbe understanding, aa it is said, that some of his friends who hod ample means, and hadjised bis "little still," would pay up bis bail and settle bis case but they falling to do so, at the instance of tho guardian of his bail, he was re-arrested Feb.

at Warrcnsburgb, N. and sentenced and committed to jail Feb. 8. New bail was fixed at $000. His counsel, aided by bis wife and sister, made tbe utmost effort in their power to raise the amount to set him free, but were unable to raise more than half of that amount, all of bis old patrons coldly leaving bim to bis fate.

Finding he could not get the least help from his old patrons, he finally, as a last resort, opened bis mouth to the ear of tho government with so good effect that bis bail was reduced to $300, bringing it down to bis ability to give, by direction from tbe department of the revenue at Washington. On the 19th of February Itevilo Howard of Jamaica, a man of ample means, was arrested and beld for trial in tbe sum of $500, charged with having bod a quantity of cider made into brandy in Davidson's illicit still and "removing the spirits without paying tho tax on tbe-eame." On the 21st of February Davidson gave new bail in tbe sum of $300, with tbe cash deposited as surety which ball was called and forfeited in tbe U. S. court now in session here, Feb. 21th.

On the 25th of February a capias on information was Issued from said court against Alden Wakefield, a wealthy citizen of Wardsboro, charged with having "carried on the business of a distiller without giving a bond as required by law," (using tbe same little still of 11. A. Davidson) and on tbe 28th of February be was brought Into court here and held for trial in the sum of $1000. Both little stills, Taft's and Davidson's, are now In the custody of the collector of tbe district of Vermont, lion. Chas S.

Dana. The above, Mr. Editor, are the uholtfactt In regard to "Windham county moonshiners," and can all be found In the records and files in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of the United States for tbe dlstriot of Yer. mont in this city. "Justice." Secretary Sherman informed bis subordinates, Tuesday, that bis administration of the treasury department would end on Thursday, and his resignation would take effect at tbe close of business on that day in order that he might take bis seat in the Senate Friday noon.
