Poison "Whiskey"
Made by Band
Here, Say Police
Detectives Seek Manufacture
ers of "Moonshine" Liquor
That Killed Six Men

The picturesque moonshiners OF the
Kentucky hills have found rival IN a
band of Italians in this city, who, how
ever, not only lack romantic qualities
of the mountaineers, but have not yet
learned to make "moonshine" without
the use of deadly wood alcohol.
This is the conclusion arrived at by
detectives who spent yesterday in in
yestigatine the death of six men VINO
were found in the vicinity OF the
saloon of Antonio de Alfonso. at loo
Bleecker Street, Tuesday.
Large quantities Of suspected ilquids
were confiscated yesterday in various
sections of the East Side by inspectors
of the Board Of Health, and orders
were issued by Commissioner Emerson
to seize all suspicious liquors IN sa-
looms along the waterfront and IN the
poorer districts. While this was being
done detectives from the First Branch
working under Acting Captain dewey:
were running down men suspected oi
having an interest in the manufacture
of poisonous war whiskey. 4,
OF the six men who were removed
from a Mills hotel, or who fell uncon-
scious in the streets near de Aifonso
saloon. only one remained conscious
long enough to tell the police where ne
bought the beverage that caused ms
death. This was Clinton Arnold, OF the
Mills Hotel in Blocker Street, VINO
died in St. Vincent's Hospital: De Al
fonso's place was searched and guam
titv of LIQUOR seized. Samples were
taken by the police and turned over 10
the Standard Testing Bureau for an
alysis. The result of the fest VIII De
made known to-day.
Detectives brought to Headquarters

said several weeks ago he bought
variety Of wines and liquors at gov
eminent auction of defunct saloon
at Third Avenue and Eighteen Street
He said the list Of his purchases IN
cluded Twenty-Five bottles OF dry gin'
fifteen bottles Of Rhine wine and q
quantity of brandy and sherry. he
purchased the whole lot for $40. This
he sold to Alfonso, but declared that ne
had not yet been paid.
The police have not learned whether
any Of this particular stock was sold 10
the men who died Tuesday. In fact
except for Arnold's ante-mortem state
ment that he purchased his drink at
Alfonso's place and became i'll imme-
diately afterward, the police have no
evidence against Alfonso.
After the analysis is completed to-
day and DR.. Benjamin Schwarz. Cor

was wood alcohol or some other poison
which caused the death of the six men.
