1920–33, the Gazette/court record at published strength — a searched negative
No Prohibition room of this town is named in the record reached, and the pointer is the article: the 1920–33 record — the Gazette-era press and the court record at published strength reachable online — names no New Carlisle speakeasy, blind pig, roadhouse or raided still-site as a place of this town, and no keeper prosecuted from a named room here. The negative is not surprising, and its reason is documented forty-five years before the Volstead Act: the township's organized dry answer, the Good Templars' Olive Branch Lodge No. What Prohibition enforcement touched this ground at document strength — the dry record of raids, charges and dispositions — is Crime's whole, told there under the court-and-press rule, and is pointed to here, not retold. This section records only the room test, and its result: for the thirteen dry years, this town's record holds no named illegal room at all.
