Judge Frederickson Finds Question
Much Involved in the Case Of
n. Brandman, Former
PeddIer
When is a man drunk?

When is a man drunk?
That is the knottY question that Po-
lice Judge Frederickson had to decide
yesterday in the case of H. Brandman'
a former peddler, who was arrested by
Patrolman Riggs for being drunk on
East First street Tuesday morning
The Judge took into consideration that
the staggering walk affected by Brand
man is the result of eight years hard
labor carrying on his back a heavy
pack of notions and dry goods which
he peddled from house to house The
court also took into consideration the
testimony of many witnesses who tes-
tilted that Brandmans never was seen
in an intoxicated condition and dis
missed the case against the former
peddler.
Patrolman Riggs was positive that
Brandman was drunk so were Patrol-
men Bowman and Greely. Had they
not seen the man staggering along the
street, detected the odor of LIQUOR on
his breath and heard him talk in a
slow drawing manner? OF course he
was drunk, and very much so, they
declared

filled with Jews.
Brandman was the first witness
called. He said he never had been
drunk, but admitted he drank whisky
-"schnapps." he called it. He said he
had Just taken a drink with an old
friend, who poured out just a little BIT
in a glass, mot more than nickels
worth the way they sell it in saloons
the witness declared emphatically.

and asked me where / was going. |

same question several times before
