CIDER CASE
RESULTS IN |
ACQUITTAL!
The United States commissioner’s
court was the scene of a rather unique
proceeding yesterday afternoon,
which had its amusing as well as
serious side. It was an action on
the part of the government against
a local merchant for the sale of cider,
and resulted in a complete vindica
tion of the defendant on a very seri
ous charge.
Last Friday, federal officials made
a visit to all of the soft-drink empo
riums in town and took therefrom a
sample of the cider that was on sale.
This they tested and it resulted in a
warrant being sworn out to Deputy
Marshal iH. C. Kavanaugh against
Fred Haef, of the Northern, alleging
a violation of the Alaska bone-dry
law.
The case was set for trial at the
city hall, where a large number of
spectators had gathered to get some
inside information on the “kick” con
tained in the cider offered to local
consumers. A jury of twelve citi
zens, good and true, had been em
panelled and Attorneys T. J. Donohoe
and F. H. Foster appeared as counsel
for Haef. When the stage was all set
it contained a government registered
still.
The complaint was based princi
pally upon the fact that a native had
been arrested last Thursday night for
being intoxicated, who stated he
drank several glasses of cider at the
Northern. Upon cross examination
it was brought out that he had also
patronized other soft-drink places, as
well as having drank part of two
bottles of what he thought was cider,
which another native had purchased
somewhere in town, but he did not
know where.
The defense called half a dozen
prominent citizens, who testified that
they frequently purchased the cider
in question and that it had no “kick”
and was non-intoxicating.
After all the evidence was in, a
test was made by two expert chem
ists,with the assistance of the gov
ernment still, to determine what pro
portion of alcohol, if any, was in the
cider. This resulted in there being
extracted from the cider one-half of
one per cent of some liquid, part of
— -
•which was alcohol and the balance j j-^j
acid. But just what proportion was
alcohol the experts were unable to
determine.
The jury then retired, and after
being out long enough to cast a ballot
returned a verdict of not guilty; and
thus the battle royal between your
Uncle Sam vs. Miss Sweet Cider re
sulted in a victory for the latter, but
some financial loss to the defendant
for attorneys’ fees.
