What is hard cider? Who is ~mali- fled to judge? How old must it be? Under what conditions should it be kept? What should be its effect on the human system to definitely deter- mine whether it is hard or whether it is just medium or merely sweet? How is @ man going to know whether he is violating the law or acting within his legal rights when he sells cider to be drunk on the premises if he is himself a poor judge as to whether ci- der is sweet or hard? These questions were discussed be- fore Judge Fuller in the city court on Monday afternoon when Samuel Ren- fck, who keeps a grocerv store on South Main street, was Defore the court, charged with selling cider on Sunday. Renick found out a whole lot about selling cider legally and 1l- legally that he claimed to ibe ignor- ant of and the chances are that cider sold at the Renick store In the fu- ture will be unfermented within the meaning of the law. Renick was brought to court as the result of sales of cider which he made on Sunday. The arrest of William Connell, 39, of Woonsocket, who had i- Iy 8\\ HH! il ! e N HHf (H Il ( il g f Indian Corn.

Besides selling to Connell made salék of bottles of har to Capt. John Murray and Spe ficer Harry Stratton on Sunday. ‘When put on the stand Renick did not deny this, but said that he be: lieved he had a right to sell sweet Renick i clder jal Of- cider; heshad sold the cider openly and ways that Prospecting Attorney Huber D, Card had told him a year ago that he could secll sweet cider. Renick confessed his inability to tell when clder ceased to be sweet and entered that condition known as hard. He even took a drink of the cider s0ld by him on Sunday and offered as evidence against him in court and declared it to be sweet. Everybody else in the case (they only smelled) declared it to be hard. As a witness against Renick, Con- nell testified that he and four other men went into Renick's place about ten o'clock Sunday morning and sat about tables in the back room drink- ing cider mixed with Jamaica ginger until about two o'clock. Connell said he had bad some whiskey before go- ing to Renick’s, but was drunker when he went in than when he came out. He told of having many drinks, bought a glass at a time. Renick admitted selling thein cider and told about throwing two of them out when they became bolsterous. He also admitted during his testimony that he had had a good cider business Sunday and that he had also sold Jamalca ginger. He would not ad- mit, however, that he knew what the ginger was to be used for. He plead- ed ignorance of any violation of the liquor law at every turn and declared he had no intent to do wrong. In view of the feeling that has de- veloped in Putnam during the last year and a half over the interpreta- tion and enforcement of the Sunday laws, the remarks of Prosccuting At- torney J. F. Carpenter, after a con- tinuance of ‘the Renick case for one month had been agreed upon, are of special interest, For Renick’s enlightenment and to state his position to the court rela- tive to the transaction of business on Sunday, Attorney Carpenter said th: by his own testimony Renick showed that men were in his place drinking clder mixed with Jamalca ginger, which is & violation of the liquor laws under the interpretation of the supreme court. 'Mr. Carpenter also sald that he would not tolerate Ren- jek_allowing a rum-besotted crowd of loaters to loiter around his store on Sunday under guch conditions as thosc that have existed there, so long as he was prosecuting attorney of this city Fe also wanted it clearly understood that because a continuance of the case had been asked for, there was no rea- son to infer that the defendant was going scot free, He hoped the store would be conducted not as it has bHeen conducted, with a erowd of loafers drinking in the back room. Continuing, Mr. Carpenter said that he wanted thespeople of Putnam to understand that there is to be @ de- cent Sunday observance In this town and that they are going to have a clean Sunday, 80 long as he apd his assistant continuoe in their present of- fices.
