4 L.
All water is contained in the
twenty -one barrels seized by the
New Brunswick police in raid on
garage on Bishop street, New
Brunswick, Tuesday afternoon, is the
belief of Chief of Police Michael
O'Connell, who conducted the raid
and was in charge of the investiga-
ton OF this case since suspicion was
aroused on Saturday morning. An
anal lysis of the liquid contained in
the barrels will be made, however,
to confirm or disprOve the belief of
the chief. There is a slight odor
or liquor in the barrels but this is
believed to be due to the placing of
tubes containing liquor in the bar
rels whenever "A sale is attempted.
Newark men rented the garage
from Il man named Medom on Fri
day and a truck took the barrels to
the site on Saturday morning. AL
though it is said. the Newark men
worked untiring in an effort to sell
their stock, only two succors were
found. two former Perth Amboy
bootleggers, who it is claimed paid
$4,000 for two barrels of the liquor.
whose transporting of
real liquor has been halted or re-
duced. to low scale, have turned
to getting something for nothing,
and this practice is going on
throughout the state. The plan used
by a great many is to get a barrel
of water. and when a sale is about
to be made TO place tube countain-
ing liquor into the barrel, and the
purchaser will be allowed to test
the contents of the barrel by tasting
the liquor in the tube.
