Unnamed Officers 1

These "officers" in Sanctuary who search the "ramshackle house" of the "old half-crazed white woman" who manufactures "spells for negroes" may be local policemen, or, since they are looking for whiskey, federal revenue agents (201). In any case, there is nothing alcoholic in the "collection of dirty bottles containing liquid" which they find (201). There must be at least three of them, because two of them "hold" the woman during the search (201).
