Show i Bottla of Whiskey 1 Boldly Purloined j in Federal Court j BRAVING the severe, consequences, conse-quences, to say no tiling of the j wrath -which follows tampering with, j evidence in a federal court, some j person with an inordinate craving j for real liquor yesterday mada a clean "geta-,vay" with a bottle of Hill & Hill whiskey that was in evi- dence in the United States district I court. The bottle was a full quart, too. The disappearance took place in the trial of Max Florence Flor-ence and Eay Middaugh. Within a twinkling and while hundreds of eyes were focused from all angles, of tho room, the spirits took wings. Even Dave Gershou, who has custody of the precious evidence evi-dence and keeps tabs on each separate sep-arate bottle as conscientiously as if j each flask was a part of Ms being, failed to find any trace of the liquor after a thorough search. Mr. Ger-slion Ger-slion was but a few feet from the ovidonce when the stuff disappeared. I Tho disappearance of the bottle failed to halt the trial, for two other bottles of the same brand were also in the courtroom at the moment. |
