of mash and other evidences of moon
| shining on the premises he was oc-
cupying. Samples Of the Murphy prod
uct were sent to the state chemist for
analysis These samples failed to
show alcohol beyond the legal limit
and there was nothing to do but set
the man at liberty He is either a
fbum" moonshiner or his story that
he was making chicken feed is a
] true one. Justice Burrows says that
perhaps the process had not gone far
enough to reach the alcoholic stage.
But regardless of conjectures Mr..
Murphy is a free man.
