QUART OF EVIDENCE
DRUNK BY JURYMEN

A jury in the Federal District court
in Brooklyn, where Judge Harlan B.
Howe of Vermont was presiding in
liquor cases, received a quart bottle
of "Old Continental Kentucky" yes
terday by direction of the court t o
taste as evidence.
Judge Howe grew impatient when
he was informed that a government
chemist would make an analysis of
the liquor produced in the case OF
Mrs. Mary White, Anthony Cassese
and four other defendants, who were
charged with having offered to sell
200 cases of the whisky at $65 a case.
The whisky was seized by enforce
ment agents in a drug store at Ninth
street and Eighth avenue, Brooklyn,
where they said it was to have been
delivered to customers.
whats the use giving it to a chem
ist?" the Judge complained. That's
a waste of time.s Open up a case and
let the jury taste it. Those men can
tell whether it's liquor or not. Any
body knows good whisky"
One of the court attendants produc-
ed a bottle. According to the label
it was made in 1916 and bottled in
1920. He pulled the cork and handed
it to the foreman No glasses were
used. The bottle was passed along
the jury box and all but two OF the
jurors took a drink. Those who sam
pied the stuff made no effort to dis
guise their pleasure.
No defense was offered after the
government testimony was In. Judge
Howe Sdirectedthe discharge OF Cas-
sese and semi the case against the
other defendants to the jury on the
charge of transporting liquor. The
counts alleging conspiracy and selling
we're dismissed.
At five minutes to one Judge Howe
charging the jury and in
structed them to have lunch ant 90
take the evidence with them" When
they returned the bottle was empty.
They returned a verdict of not guilty
for all five of the defendants.-New

May Take Precious
Metals From ShaIe.
Denver Man Offered Millions
For New Process to Recov-
er Gold. Silver, Platinum.

Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming shale
contains recoverable gold values from
SO to s33. three ounce silver and
considerable platinum, and all these
in addition to their content OF oil and
oil byproducts ranging from around
rs to as high as so and rs gallons of
oil to the ton of shale.
The foregoing is the gist of an ar
ticle written by Robert G. Dill which
appeared in the Denver Post of recent
date. A. M. Beam of Denver, is the
inventor of a process by which he
claims to be able to make all these
through a plant which he and asosci-
ates have built in Denver. The com
pany is the Colorado Shale and Met
ais Company.
A Salt Lake mar connected with
the Utah Shale & Metal Co. said that
the plant has been erected on Gala
posa street at a cost of $27S, 900. The
capacity is 300 tons daily; that it has
made a three-day run to the entire sa-
tisfaction Of the inventor and associ-
ates. and that a public run will be
made this month to which experts are
invited. The Colorado and Utah COM
panies are also associated with the
Wyoming Shale & Metals Co., the
three companies to operate in con
Junction but In the respective states.
A story has beer brought from Den
9 that the inventor has been offered
all kinds OF money. a cool million, If
he would turn over his entire inven-
tions to eastern interests who have
their representatives there. and
that the offers came after exhaustive
investigations by chemists, engineers,
mill men and other experts. 1t is de-
clared that Mr.. Beam turned down all
these offers. saying he is an old man;
that he prefers to make his gift to the
world rather than to run the risk of
1t bought up and suppressed
by smelling and other companies
whose interests are jeopardizcd by
his simple new methods.
1t is declared that with the Beam
process that ores of any I'll may
be reduced to bullion at small proper
ties. A plant of a few tons or many
thousands may be built and operated
economically.
