Captain Murray was called as a wit
ness by Assistant Prosecuting Attor
ney Bradford who conducted a large
part of the cross examination and said
that on Sunday he had picked up Con
nell on Kim st., where he was lying in
the snow too much overcome to find his
boarding place. He quizzed the man
and then went to Reneik’s and saw a §/3
number of men in the back room who
were smoking and drinking cider. He
then asked Reneik to sell him some
cider and Reneik started to pour some
of the liquid Into a glass from a pitcher
but the captain asked that it be put
into a bottle which Reneik readily did.
The captain said he had cautioned
Reneik last summer about selling hard
cider and had told him not to let a
disorderly crowd collect about the
store. Attorney Bradford allowed the
captain to smell the contents of the
bottle and the spectators outside the
rail heaved a deep sigh. The captain
said he believed it to be hard cider and
that he had kept it in a cool place un
til he turned it over to Prosecuting At
torney Carpenter, so that he thought
no additional process of fermentation
had taken place since he procured the
liquor. .4
.special umcer Harry fj. Stratton was
nailed and said he had bought two bot
tles of elder on Sunday, one of which
tie turned over to Mr. Carpenter. He
said Reneik had filled the bottle from
i pitcher and had sold It openly. At- i
torney Bradford allowed Stratton to
smell the contents of the bottle and the
spectators dieaved another deep sigh.
Stratton sim he believed It to be hard
ilder.
