He was represented by At- torney Thomas J. . Fowler of of the dairy and food commissioner, the first witness for the state, testl: fied that May 26 he bought two sam. ples of milk from the accused, one from a ten-guart cen and one a_quart bottle. He purchased about 1S samples ghat morning which he cealea and sent to the Connecticut Agricultural (Experiment Station at New Haven. E. Monroe Eaily, chemist at the station, told of examining the sam- ple of Reinstein’s milk and thet showed a diiution of 20 per cent Attorney Kelly questioned Mr. ‘Bai- ley as to cow ever contalned that much water the wet season. Mr. Balley an- swered that he was positive that the sample had been watered. Reinstein took the stand and testi fied that he had sold milk In this eity and sent some to Providence for the last twelve vears. Not all the milk that he sold was taken from his cows, as he bought { some from Henry Lewis and William Segar. He did not know where the millc_in question came from. When he was notified of his arrest, he at cnee sent a sample of the milk to Storrs coliege but the milk was too our to obtain a good analysis. He did know that the milk furnished by Segar was below standard and stop- ped buying from him. Paul_Segar, age 14, said that he took the milk to Reinstein’s. When the trouble came up they did not sell Reinstein any more milk. He admit- ted that Reinstein often mixed the milk with_his own. Judge Foss, in pronouncing _sen- tence, said that there was a violation of the statute but there was question as to who did it. A fine of $15 and costs was imposed, amounting to 332,40, Evaded Payment of Fares. The next case was that of Harry F. Weinsteln, charged with _trying to svold payment of railroad fares. The complaint was introduced by Conduc- tor Semuei B. Ellsworth of the New Haven road. The trouble was over the payment of balf fares for chil- dren, Weinstein claiming that he did not_have enough money but he prom- ised that he would make up the dif- ference when they reached Williman- tic. This he failed to do, as he also failed to leave the monev at the sta- tion at 11 o'clock on June 6 as he Lad promised to do.
