"Collacci is an old offender in the moonshine industry and it will probably go pretty hard <br />with him when the court gets busy with him. He will in all probability be sent down to <br />Canon City to board with Tom Tynan [the warden of the State Penitentiary in Canon <br />City], while others are making a move to have him deported. His is the second big still <br />put out of business in Louisville within the last thirty days by Sheriff Blum." <br />Unfortunately, more information could not be located about the raid, any trial, or the ledger. <br />However, it is possible that Jim Colacci served time in the State Penitentiary as a result of the <br />raid, as was suggested in the article as being a possibility. <br />Apparently related to the raid and his legal problems, Jim Colacci quickly took action to get <br />himself access to a large amount of money - $1500 (worth about $26,000 in today's dollars). On <br />Oct. 2, 1924, which was less than two weeks after the raid, he deeded a half interest in his <br />property at 1209 Main over to Rome Perrella. (Rome was the son of his neighbors, Joseph and <br />Flora Perrella, who were the longtime residents of 1201 Main and who had come from a village <br />in Italy not far from the village of the Colaccis.) The sale amount shown on the deed was $1500. <br />Four years later, in 1928, Rome Perrella deeded the half -interest in the property back to him for <br />the same amount of money, according to Boulder County records. These transactions suggest <br />that Jim Colacci may have needed funds to pay a large fine, but this is not known for certain. It <br />is also possible that Jim Colacci did serve time and that Rome Perrella looked after the house <br />during this period. (Jim Colacci did not appear in the 1926 Louisville directory.) <br />Besides working as a coal miner, trying a dairy business with his brother, and making and selling <br />alcohol during Prohibition, Jim Colacci also engaged in other activities to bring in income. This <br />photo from the collection of the Louisville Historical Museum came with handwriting that <br />indicated that he was a business partner of Rome Perrella at the latter's auto business at the <br />southwest corner of Main and Walnut, likely been in the 1920s or early 1930s. Jim is indicated <br />as being the man on the left. <br />By 1930, if not earlier, Jim Colacci also started a poultry business on his property at 1209 Main <br />that he would have for many years. <br />He also began to rent out part of his property to renters — a longtime practice in Louisville that <br />benefitted both the property owner and the tenants, particularly during years when levels of <br />4 <br />16 <br />
