J. Barleycorn's Grip Weaker
How Folks Drink the Stuff
and Stay Out of Hospital
Is Mystery,

N OF how many-but how few
i'm persons In Indianapolis be-
El come sick or poisoned by
bootleg whisky is the chief wonder
of j. H. Dunwoody. city council
chemist
IF they could see some of this
stun tested that they are drinking,
It might be different" said Dun
woody as he finished examining a
quantity OF mule" mixed with lysol.
Even iron rust has been found In
liquor, proving that the liquor is
distilled in improper metallic
vessels.
1t is Dunwoody's task to test
liquor seized in police raids and SUBJ
NIT an analysis which is used as
court evidence. Nearly fifty bottles
on the shelf Of his laboratory in
city Hall were evidence of his
activity this month.
II used to go to court and testify
personally on these cases. but they
became so numerous that I was
spending about half my time down
there" said Dunwoody. Now I
Just submit my report, and I have
more time to test the next batch.
There seems to be no end to this
stuff"
White mule tests as high as so
per cent alcohol, Dunwoody said.
Recent raids have uncovered vast
quantities OF home made beer and
wine, some Of it testifying 15 per
cent.
Bootleggers have attempted to
evade conviction by weakening their
liquor with vinegar or water when
police raid, so It is difficult to prove
alcoholic percentage.
I'VE can usually show the alcohol
as long as they do that" said Dun
woody, but IL they only knew, they
could mix some stuff with 1t that
would make 1t almost impossible for
as to prove alcohol.
But" he added with smile, "as
long as they don't know it, I'm
not going to tell them how"
