Johnson, through his attorney. G. c.

and was bound over to the grand jury
with bonds fixed at $1,000, the sum
in which he was held to preliminary
hearing.
But Sanford's attorneys, Harry Nc

with the case. They indicated an at

drunk, and was sleeping in the base

continued until next Tuesday morn

Those who did testify. however,
were James Normoyle, cashier of the |

$500. In turn he was placed on the

~ am enclosing a milk and cream
ordinance. also a copy of an amend
ment now before the council for con-
trolling the sale of bottled milk. When
properly done this method is certainly
the best. but my experience has
pr ven that bottled milk may become
the biggest fraud and menace that
was ever thrust upon a community.
IN 1912 a boy was bottling milk for a
concern in the city. and according to
customs in some localities. drank milk
from the can cover. throwing the bal
ance back into the can. This boy hap
pened to have walking typhoid fever.
The result was over fifty cases of
typhoid. Typhoid hung on this milk
route until they we're ordered out of
business
During the past summer we had
three milk concerns involved in
large typhoid epidemic. All bottled
their milk and none sterilised their
bottles. All used one another's bot
ties except one concern. II you have
the help TO be on the job when your
milk men are bottling the milk. bot
Ting milk is the ideal way of handling
IL. II not. I would take my chances
with dipped milk. My experience is
responsible for the amendment to our
ordinance. When milk bottles are
used to a great extent in the city. they
are picked up by the junk men and
resold to the respective owners. Men
will use them in the factories as uri-
mails. II you wish exclusive bottled
milk you must provide for the sterili-
cation OF bottles with sufficient in

Safety building and that they were met
there by Mr.. Bratton, who told him of
his discovery.
They stated that as they approached
the place where the hoe was made in
the brick they heard a scuffling, but
that they only found Johnson at work
when they got there.
Appeared Intoxicated.
Both officers stated that they in
structed the Waterman to lock the
cellar door and they then took john
son to the station. They returned to
the building in about five minutes and
they then went to the basement where
they found Sanford. They claimed
that while he at first appeared intoxi-
Gated after he walked a short distance
he seemd all right. Both attorneys
questioned the police thoroughly on
the portion of their story relative. to
finding Sanford in the cellar and it is
very likely they will claim that he was
sleeping there.
The testimony of Bratton who de-
tected the burglary was to the effect
that he saw two men in the alley
working with crowbars. He stated
that he had never seen Sanford be-
fore, but that the man who was with
Johnson was of the same build as San
ford. He said that he could not say
or not Sanford was drunk, !
but that he appeared so to him.
The police stated that the negro !
had told them that Sanford had offered !
him $50 to do the job. They stated .
that Sanford said nothing to them /
after he was arrested and that they |
asked no questions.
