SOLD MIXTURE
 AS GOOD LIQUOR

New Haven, Dec. 3O.--An inquiry into three deaths here, and the arrest of Ange- To Amaf 0, another saloon keeper, tn suspicion of hav- ing sold wood alcohol whis- key, gave the local detectivA force many busy hours to- day. The removal to Massa- "husetts of several of those regarded as the principals in the making and selling of the poison left the local authori- ties only a number of minor matters to look up. It was while running down state ments of men examined by Coroner Mix that they ran into the Amato end.
 Angelo Amato is a brother of An
 
 as Chick Brown He is accused by Thomas J. Coffey, another saloon keeper under arrest, of having sold him some of the mixture as good whEskey. Coffey had claimed that he drank some of it and it made him i'll, but today he was about town and was also under examination by the off, cers. He did not appear to be i'll. The three deaths were of men who are said to have bought whiskey at Cof- fey's place. John Legrand lived across the street. He got liquor at the sa- loon and later was found dying in bed with some symptoms of poison- ing.
 Bernard White was in room filled with Illuminating gas and the coroner had given a verdict of asphyxiation Bernard O'Neil died. presumably of heart failure. Detectives learned that in each case whislzey had been drunk by them. In none of the three cases are the wood alcohol symptoms marke3 to any degree and it will be necessary for the medical examiner to make a new report. In the case of John Coughlin, however, who bought whiskey, the almost total blindness is regarded as a sign of poisoning. He also claims to have bought liquor at Coffey's place.
 Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 30-The first arrest on a federal warrant in the wood alcohol poisoning cases in this section of Connecticut was made to- day when Deputy U. S. Marshal Tim othy A. Mccarthy served warrant ! upon Leonard Montana of Thompson I vile, charging him with. violation of l. 1 ing distilled spirits for beverage pur- poses.
 1 Montana was brought before U. S. Commissioner Frederic J. Corbett in | this city, arraigned by Assistant Dis trict Attorney George H. Cohen and { held under S5,000 bonds for exam l ination at a future date. An at- i tempt is being made to secure bail. 1 Montana, it is alleged by federal l officials, bought five gallons of the poisonous liuor from Jacob Broner- wine of Hartford for $40, but when he tasted it he did not like it and tel ! ephoned Bronerwine he was going to bring it back. It is said Bronerwine l advised that he sell it to some one else. The federal officials say MoE- tano admits he sold the five gallons | for $145 to John Zigmont of Thomp- l sonville, who is seriously i'll from l drinking a part of it, and George Raumonaska and John Mayor owsks are dead from drinking a part of the five gallons which they bought from Zigmont. Montana and zigmont have both been under arrest by the Thomp- sonville police
