spotters?" was one of the first ques-
tiOns asked by ]. ]. Schenck, attorney

ors
man and Ellsworth Baughman were ar
rested on four counts. The principal
witnesses for the state were A. E. Ice.

Fred Swan OF the White Swan bakery.
and Sneed. a col0red ''spotter.'
The suit is an echo of the broiling
days last July when all Topeka con-
stunned ice cream. regardless OF quality.
After July 4 Inspector Ice secured his
samples and sent them to be analysed
in a laboratory at Manhattan.
If Baughman Bros. had labeled their
frozen mixture 'custard' instead OF
lice cream" the suit would not have
been brought.
John Switzer conducted the examina-
llOH IOr the state ana a. y. OcucuCh, dS-
sisted by Paul Heinz defended the ice
cream dealers. Mr.. Schenck, whose
crOss-examinations are as grilling as
the weather last July, succeeded in be-
wildering the specialized state inspec-
tor.
IF substance contains 131. per cent
butter fat" he demanded, what would
you call it?"
Mr.. Ice did not know. He wouldn't
call it ice cream.
Mr.. Schenck approached the jury tri-
| umphantly.
II want to read you gentlemen this
complaint he requested. 1T charges
Baughman Bros. with unlawfully sell
ing ice cream containing less than Il
per cent. fat. You signed this com
plant, believe. Mr.. Ice?"
The inspector could not deny it.
You have made a false affidavit,
announced Mr.. Schenck.
The jury was excused at noon, and
heard the remainder of the evidence
after lunch.
