On December 28, at 9:40 o’clock in the morning, Policeman Thomas Feeney and Patrick O'Mara visited the place and took a sample of cider. An analysis of the stuff showed 4.48 per cent. alcohol by volume. Since the four Park street saloons closed the people have noticed an in- crease in Avery's patronage, they tes- tified. Drunks have been seen about the premises, the court was told. The sample taken was drawn from one of two barrels through a funnel found nearby, Lawyer Dunn was told in answer to a question. Dregs, Avery Says. Avery explained that the dregs of all barrels of cider are placed in one barrel, which is kept for vinegar and not sold as cider. A quantity of the vinegar is kept near the cider. Avery said Feeney took the sample from the dregs in the process of forming into vinegar. This informa- tion he imparted to the policemen, but they took the stuff away with them, he said. Prosecutor Woods asked for a con- viction on both counts, Dunn Makes Objection. Lawyer Dunn did not guestion the alcoholic content of the stuff taken, but denied that it had been offered for sale. He admitted the sale of cider, but not of the stuff offered in evidence, since he said, it was salable.
