Still found at the Parker home, 1921
New Jersey Courier 16 Dec 1921 While looking for deer meat at the home of Lewis Parker, near Manahawkin, Game Warden J. H. Evernham and Constable Joseph K. Johnson, of Toms River, found not venison, but a still in full operation. The still was seized and brought to the county jail. Parker was afterward arrested and brought here. Warden Evernham had received a tip saying that Parker had killed two deer and had them in his house. Parker lives at the Oxycocus plantation, at one time a famous cranberry bog, back in the woods from Manahawkin. The two officers went there and found Parker, demanding that he bring out the meat. He insisted that he had no venison and they proceeded to search the house. When he tried tos teer them away from a certain door all the time, they went into that room and found a still running. It sat on a three burner oil stove, and was steaming. They seized it, and it was still warm when it reached the Sheriff's office and a quart of white mule was in the worm,
