CONFISCATED LIQUOR
TESTED Iff UNIVERSITY
Chemists Find No Alcohol
In Some Specimens
Liquids of varied colors and
origin, taken by the city and coun
ty officers in dry raids, are often
sent to the University chemistry
department for analysis, says Pro
fessor O. F. Stafford.
This analysis, showing the alco
holic content of all liquids held as
moonshine, must be stated in trials,
and for this reason these bottles of
evidence are sent to the University
to be tested. Several bottles, and
two kegs of confiscated liquor
which have just been or are to be
tested, are in the chemistry labora
tory now.
Occasionally the tests, which are
quite simple show that no alcohol
is contained in the mixture, says
Professor Stafford, but more often
the per cent te quite high. Fruit
juices are the basis of the greater
part of the moonshine, and are all
shades from pale green to purple.
