Detective Diamio, Of the Pinkerton Agency,
ambrosia shown by Mr.. Constable had been
sweetened over that bought by him.
States Attorney Evans then addressed the

but that the sSate did claim that Grail did
sell Il drink containing alcohol and drink
Intoxicating. as had been certified to by
Reuben Haines chemist of Philadelphia.
who certified that it contained 336 per cent.
