to the quality or kind of liquor the deD- uty marshal has made no effort the jugs being stored away in exactly the same condition as when they were received.
 Liquor to be Sold The third place inspected was large room on the door of which are the two seals Here there is everything that might be suggested in the way of liquor. In the middle Of the, room has been erected special compartment, properly locked and sealed where are stored the bottles of iiuuor recently ordered sold by the court. naese hotties have all kinds of labels, from those of recogniz- ed distilleries where the labels seem to indicate that the liquor contained there in is what t is supposed to be, to others
 where federal agents declare the labels to be forged. even to the government
 stamps attached Some liquor. supposed to be bottle iR bond has, none of the goY=
 ernment script stamps affixed over the corks as should have been done, while others bottled not in bond have such
 stamps affixed while in reality there should be none.
 Barrels and barrels of Italian wine and other beyeFages are stored in one corner of the room. Aearby are gallon cans taken from bpoze runners, piled | higa and each and every one marked for l identification which may or may not
 contain alcohol; water, CT anything else
 according to the best guess Of the in- yesttsRtor, All are stored exactly in 1 the same condition as when received. ex- | cept perhaps that rust had aided in mak-
 ing, the liauor less desirable as a bev- | craze There are two, three, and five I gallons cans on the floor there are eases and cases of bottle stun piled up and containing, none in the government ser vice knows what; there are great bags 1 of sugar and piles and piles of boxed raisins awaiting court order, and in enc
 section remote from the rest, is some li- quor seized by agents without search warrants and which is awaiting a court
 order for it's return. Some of the metal
 containers are known to contain alcohol, but how good 1t is is an open question {;
 others are known to have special com
 partments within the cans having alcohol just under the opening in the can, and the rest being water, the purpose being to
 victimize the customers of the liquor salesmeR ; other cans had compartments holding water on top and aieoh0l on the
 bottom, the alan being to fOoT the federal agents, while one truck load of cans con-
 tained water only was sent through from M New York and seized at Stamford, the purpose being a blind to cover shipments
 of two truckloads of alcohol that follow ed. All of this stuff is stored in the , in the warehouse. including the water.
 Assortment of stills
 In the cellar of the warehouse are two , rooms piled high with stills, most Of them of home naksA and varying from milk cans and wash boilers to ordinary kettles, while otherss ,aze of excellent . workmanship. These are awaiting court order for disposition. The edor in the rooms Is sufficient to discourage any . person who might by some method get in .. to the Elace- The hnal storage room con- tains more barreled stuff, some of which is known to be real booze, and some oi { the remainder equally well known to bs wood alcohol.
 There are three agencies permitted by . law to purchase the stuff from the mar 2 { shal-hospitals, druggists and manufac turers legally entitled to use alcohol IT i. view of the fact that the marshal | : : unprepared to Vouch for even a singh ] bottle in his custody and the fee of tn . state chemist for making an analysis i !.

 It might be said in passing that sine !. the marSaal has stored the stuff in Ne1 n Haven at least one effort has been mad . to get some of the liquor by eutsid . forces.
