| Testimony for the State was offered
by Charles Harrington, deputy

Quoted a grocery store on Lockwood
street, that it appeared like any other
grocery store, that he had never. re-
ceived complaints about the sale of
Intoxicating beverages by Mr.. Bar
ney.
Mr.. Jarvis went on the stand and
declared that he purchased three
one ounce bottles Of checkerberry eX-
tract or wintergreen as it is also
known, on the first day of April at
$40 2. NJ. He produced the three
bottles one of which was empty be-
cause the contents had been analysed
and found TO contain about So per-
cent alcohol. He said that he had
asked Mr.. Barney if there was any
kick in the checkerberry and Mr..
Barney had told him that he had no
idea.
In the cross-eXamination Mr.. Jar
Wis testified that he did not think
that he appeared like common
drunkard trying to buy something
to drink.
Mr.. Matthew had some difficulty in
getting Mr.. Jarvis to answer the
question about his appearance but
finally after repeating the question
several times succeeded in getting
MI Jarvis to say that he did not
think that he appeared like a man
who would drink that kind of stuff
when he went to purchase the check
erberry from Mr.. Barney.
Mr. Jarvis said that he bought
some candy at first and there were
one or two other persons in the
saore at the time he was: that Mr..
Barney carried a full line of gro
cerieS and that it seemed like an
ordinary grocery store; he had never
been there before and he has never
been there since Mr.. Barney took
the bottle of the extract from the
shelf where there were other bottles

did not know whether there was any
kick in it or not, according to the
testimony of Jarvis.
The State rested and Mr.. Matthew
asked that Mr.. Barney be released
because Of insufficient evidence.
Judge Atchley replied that he could
not do this, and Mr.. Matthew called
Mr.. Barney to the stand.
Mr. Barney testified to being in the
grocery business for four years on
Lockwood street. He does not sell to
ordinary buns who come to buy
drinks. He has kept his extracts
exposed on the shelves, and the only
extracts that he has bought in three
years and half's time is one dozen
bottles of lemon extract about a year
ago. He did not know the alcoholic
contents of any of his extracts; does
not generally keep open on Sunday;
he did not remember Mr.. Jarvis ever
coming to the store: he bought as

Postmaster w. F. Delaney announc- ed yesterday that he had received word from Washington authorizing him to add two men to his permanent staff of carriers.
