Show Some of the citizens of New Haven have been Btating under oath tbeir capacity lor holdiug beer. In tbe trial of the Schenck beer case the manufacturers claiming that the article is not intoxicating one witness wit-ness swore that ho often "put under his shirt" sixteen or twenty glasses at a single sitting. One Kraues usually required thirty glasses during the evening. Another witness didn't estimate his capacity for holding the liquid, but gave it as his opinion that a hogshead full would not make him drunk. Schenck beer is unknown in this part of the country, and it will never become a favorite beverage here. Without tasting it tbe bibu-lants bibu-lants of the went will unanimously vote it more dangerous to society than" "forty rod" whisky, or that other kind said to be dispensed at some of the saloons, a glass of which makes a man want to steal something, and two will cause him to rob an express train, or mike war upon his mother-in-law. |
