Experts in chemistry fought a.
day-long battle in Criminal Superior
court before Judge William M. Malt.
his and 3. Jury yesterday when the
cxaciltude of the methods and ac-
. curacy of the results of a lysis of
lbeer samples taken from ucks out
of the Wslerview avenue bottling
works headquarters rented by Jacob
Levy at $350 monthly. were.at-
tacked by the defense as scientifi-
cally unsound. .
V Clarence Ekroth, a consulting an-
alytical chemist of Brooklyn, N. Y..
testified that. by the tests Dr. Henry
' Borg. ofl‘iciai state chemist. and Dr.
" ‘ Albert G. Bennett. of Greenwich.
* ' say they made. they could not.‘ as
' they say they did, have discovered
that the ingredients of the beer
from the \Vaterview avenue garage
rwere grain alcohol. malt and hops.
Garage Owner Testifies
Some mystery as to what became
of a cargo of beer-tilled kegs con-
fiscated from a truck police seized
in Stamford developed yesterday
afternoon when the defense called
to the stand Thomas Stevens. part
owner of Bennett and Stevens’ gar-
. * age on Bell street. Stamford.
Policeman Harry Curr n. of the
Stamford department. stifled last
week that the beer found on a
truck driven by Allie Nichols of 50
Columbus place. this city. who was
arrested on August 29. was origin-
ally ,stored for safe-keeping in one
garage-but. for the purpose of de-
stroyal. was removed to former
Alderman Denning’s garage. about
half a mile away. That was done
Curran said. because there "were
- no sewers" at the first garage. and
it was also too near heavy traffic.
Stevens said he had never seen
a truck loaded with beer kegs. that
police had not stored in his garage
such a truck nor. of course. taken
one away fromuthero.
Policeman Curran last week was
asked particularly if he was sure
. all the kegs taken from the Nichols

Attacks Borg‘s_ Credentials.
The war lwtwcen the chemical
exports reached a climax during the
afternoon session when Attorney

asked of Capt. Russell .llaynor. a
graduate of the School of Mines. of
Columbia University. former chit-f of

City of New York. and nnwn chem-
ist in Yonkcrs. to identify a book
purporting to contain a list of gradu-
ates from Columbia University be-
tween 185-1 and 1916.
He was asked if Dr. Borg was
mentioned therein as a graduate.

Comley’s immediate objection. Cup-

Borg. last week. testified. in stating

failed to establish its contention that
the beer was in fact and law. "in-
toxicating." Then Mr. Greenstein. at
the start of his defense. .opened fire
through Dr. Ekroth and Capt. Ray-
nor on the analytical reports of Dr.
Borg and Dr. Bennett with the ap-
parent intention of attempting to
show that neither could . possibly
have determined that grain alcohol.
malt and hops were actually in the
beer from Waterview avenue because
of the alleged faultiness of the pro-
cedures.
Less attention was directed to the
evidential reports of Dr. Bennett.
who waiving all technical explana-
tion of how he arrived at the decision
that the beer contained grain al-
cohol. contented himself .with the
dogmatic assertion that "it looked
like beer. tasted like beer—and was
beer."
Dr. Borg has said that he deter-
mined malt was in the beer because
of the rotary angles of three kinds
of sugar found in the liquid. Dr.
Ekroth, in contradiction. held that
angular rotations are proof of the
existence of sugar only. that the su- ‘
gars have many sources and met:
presence or absence does not estab-
lish the particular raw materials
from which the hevcrugc \vus man

The procedure of analysis adopted
by Dr. Borg was assailed on a point
having to do with the freeing gases
as a preliminary. and the measure-
ment of quantity of the proper tem-
perature of heat. Dr. Borg had not
said he had done those two things in
his analyses.
Dr. Ekioth said that he would not
assume "that even the mercst tyro
of a chemist" would have first
need the gases. and explained that
lack of that precaution would have
