State Officer Keith gave testimony
that he first saw the trucks in Moosup
and believed they were overloaded. At
Jewett City they were required to stop
and weigh. Both trucks were O. K. as
far as -weight was concerned. The of
ficer then Investigated the loads and
found 300 plain cartons, each contain
ing 24 bottles of what proved to be
beer.
The analysis of the state chemist
was produced. The lowest content was
found to be, alcohol by weight 4 1-2
[ per cent, and by volume 5 3-5 per cent
! Prosecuting Attorney H. H. Burn
ham and Attorney Darbie took some
little time in their arguments, relative
to what established guilt and what
didn’t. Judge Brown told the accused
that the fact that they were transport
ing over five gallons of liquor made
them liable to pulshment.
The story that not one of those con
cerned, the contractor or the two driv
ers knew anything of the nature of
their cargoes didn’t seem to go with
the court. Both Walsh and Taylor
were found guilty and fined $200 each
which was paid. The 7200 bottles of
beer are in Danielson and It will be
destroyed after it has been adjudged
a nuisance in event nobody appears to
claim it.
It will be destroyed in Danielson be
cause it would only be added expense
for Griswol.d to transport It here for
that purpose.
