The grain for making the malt was re-
ceived mostly at night by the wholesale
house This concern paid regular recti-
der's license. but at least three-fourths Of
the rectitied whisky reached the saloon OPP
poslte, through copper pipes, without hav-
ing paid any tax whatever These pipes
ran under ground from the rectifying de-
partment in the second story Of the who'll
sale house to the casks in the saloon. and
all that was necessary when they wanted
to I'LL cask, was to turn a stop-cock con-
cealed behind the bar, and the liquor I'M
mediately flowed without any pumping
on account of the rectifyine watts being
higher than the casks.
OF course they pretended to buy some
Of their whisky, which was brought IN
publicly at the front door, and having the
government stamp upon 1t, hut the same
barrels were conveyed back again by the
subterranean passage.
