EETABLISHED 1870 JUDGE SUSTAINS DUNN ON POINT OF LAW REGARDING KICK IN Important Ruling Made in Police Court Hinges on Presence or Absence of \ Benzoate of Soda, | : Hungerford Quotes Roeenli Opinion Handed Down by U. S, Treasury Depart- ment and Asks When Fer- mentation Begins, Because the etate did not show whéther or not benzoate of soda was used in the sample of eclder taken from the store of Charles Graffina on Church street, October 3, Judge W. €, Hungerford in pollee court this morning found it necessary to dis- miss the charge of seling liquid having an alcoholle content in viola- tion of the law, The point, which was rajsed by At- torney David L. Dunn, came up in the local court for the first time this morning and hinged entirely on the fact that the definition of clder is somewhat different from that of other drinks containing alcoholie contents, The 17 & Treasury department handed down a decision July 19, 1923, defining cider, which points out that the alcoholic confent can be con- trolled by the addition of benzoate of soda. The addition of the ben- zoate of soda, if proven by the de fense would indicate that the cider was not aleoholic, providing the ben- zoate of soda were put in immediately upon pressing, inasmich as cider be gins to ferment while still in the press, The law defines as {llegal, “all fermented cider sold or kept for sale, which the judge points out theoretically makes all cider illegal, | lnst evening.

H., who is ex- press was an aleoholie drink, Had the state been able to prove this morning that the manufacturers of the cider had failed to put ben- zoate of soda in thetr product, it worthd have made it an ilegal” drink. This the- state failed to do and the cosc was dismissed. Judge Hungerford's decision was as follows: “The accused is charged on two counts. First, of keeping a place in which it is reputed that spirituous and intoxicating liquors are kept for . and exchange, and, second, of ning and keeping with intent to I and exchange ‘a liquid, a portion of which is spirituous and intoxicat- estimony on bebalf of the etate was that the liquid in possession of the accused was cider, and the chemist for the state testified that on analysis the cider in question showed alcholic content of three and twelve- one-hundredths per cent. (3.12.) “Section 1 of Chapter 291, Public Acts of 1921, declares spirituous and intoxicating liquors to include all mixed liquors, all mixed liquors of which a part is spirituous and intoxi- cating, all distilled spirits, all Ja- maica ginger, all wines, ale and port- er, all beer manufactured from hops and malt or from hops and bar- ley, which are declared by the laws of the United States to be intoxicating liquors; and then adds, ‘and all fer- mented cider sold or kept for sale.’ “It is therefore apparent that’the test for alcoholic content is not the test to be applied for the legality or illegality ol cider. Theoretically, fermentation begins the instant that cider leaves the press, and taken literally, the freshest cider would be illegal. At just what stage, then, of fermentation does cider become fllegal? No test for this is glven under this section above referred to. “A ruling of the treasury depart- ment recently handed down, amending | Article V. of Regulation 60, Section 34, defines cider as being the ex- pressed juice of whole, fresh sound, ripe apples, exclusive of any extrene- ous or forelgn matter and without re- gard to the fermentation or alcoholic content thereof. Sweet cider is de- fined as being the fresh juice obtained yrom the first pressing of whole, fregh, gound, ripe apples, and preserved sweet cider is sweet cider as defined above, in which alcoholic fermenta- tion is prevented or materfally retard- ed by the addition immediately upon pressing, of U. 8. P. benzoate of soda in the proportion of not less than four to four and onc-half avoidupois ounces to each barrel of not exceeding fifty wine barrels capacity. “As the state presented no evidence showing either the presence or ab- sence of benzoate of soda in the clder, taken, it is apparent that the proper test for détermining the legality or 1 legality of the clder was not taken, and the accused is therefore die- charged on both counts.” Tried Suicide, Foiled, She Dies From Heart Failure New York, Oct. 20.—An aged heart today carried out the wishes of Mrs. Anna Kratchman, after doctors had filed her attempt to commit suicide.
