The Special Officer Released on his
Own RecOgnizance- Dealers
on Trial

Developments yesterday in the cru
sade on "Pablo" and other drinks Of
a similar nature were quite interest
ing and in some respects novel. W.
E. Johnson, the special agent Of the
Interior department appointed to
stamp out the liquor business in In
dian Territory, was arrested upon a
complaint filed in the mayors court
by r. r. Wilson and Landrum and
Cook, charging him with wilful and
malicious destruction OF property. 1t
was Mr.. Johnson who made the whole
sale destruction Of "Pablo" here a
few weeks ago. At that time owners
Of the property replevined the goods
in Johnson's hands, which had not
been destroyed and filed an $500 suit
against him. Following the arrest
Of the special agent yesterday, appli-
cation was made to Judge Dickerson
for writ of habeas corpus to Sc
cure his release. The application was
denied, not being in proper form, but
johnson was released on his own re-
cOgnizance.
The trial Of Wilson and Andrum
and Cook, dealers in "Pablo' on the
charge Of introducing and selling
liquor, was begun before Judge Payne
yesterday afternoon. The principal
witnesses we're Prof. George L. Hotter
a chemist, and Prof. NJ. L. Lewis, bac-
teriologist, the experts employed by
Mr.. johnson in the analysis Of the
drinks. Both Of them are connected
with the A. M.college Of Saltwater.
Prof. Hotter testified as To the an
alysis Of the sample Of the beverages
sent him by Mr.. johnson and the per-
centage Of alcohol contained in them.
A number Of analyses were made and
the percentages varied slightly. In
oiic cafitptC tAE pEAAcNtobN Va @iNoApt
by weight was 1T per cent, by vol
ume, 2.29; in another, liz by weight
and 2.16 per cent by volume These
two represent fair average Of the
analyses. Prof. Hotter testified that
"Pablo" was beer in a scientific sense,
but he didn't undertake To say whether
it was beer according to the legal de-
finition. 1t would intoxicate if taken
in sufficient quantities. The analy-
sis of a sample of Blue Ribbon beer
showed 4.s per cent Of spirit by vol
ume.
Prof. Lewis, the bacteriologist, tes-
titled that some Of the samples con-
tanned the yeast cell which was evi-
dence that they were fermented drink.

whether the percentage by weight or
by volume would be regarded as the
