 December 31st, 1937
Last night W. A. McIntosh of the state board of equalization, aided by Sheriff Olin S. Johnson, Lassen county sheriff, raided the hone of Geraldine Churchill. She was arrested for selling intoxicating liquors without a license.
Two different people were sent into the place, located about four miles west of Susanville on the highway, with instructions to make liquor purchases with the marked money with which they had been provided. The officers waited until the purchasers had emerged, then entered, found the marked money. There was also enough liquor to establish ample evidence.
The defendant appeared in justice court this morning and was released on $50 bail.
She pleaded guilty on Thursday and was sentenced by Justice N. V. Wemple to pay a fine of $125 or serve 60 days in the county jail.
She paid $50 of the fine and promised to pay the remainder during the month of January.
