The Portland daily press., 1875-06-23

A WASHINGTON special to the Boston Ad-
uertiser says that new method of perpetrat-
ing the whiskey frauds has been discovered
in the course of examination which all re-
turns in that Office relating to whi.key trans
actions are undergoing. 1t was ascertained,
while examining the Milwaukee cases, that
great discrepancies existed between the en-
tries of sales made on distillers' books and the
returns of the aggregate amount of sales OF
form 45, which distilers are obliged to use.
Gaugers also make returns of the amount
gauged previous to the sale on form known
as No. SO. These forms were called in about
two weeks ago from all parts of the country,
and at the same time transcripts have been
obtained through local revenue officers from
distillers' books, and these have been footed
up and compared with the aggregate returns
and with the gaugers' returns. Very impor-
tant evidence has been secured in his way,
and evidence against the houses involved is
complete, as the disagreeing records of the
books and of the returns are in the handwrit-
ing of their own book-keepers, and cannot be
disputed.
