clal Poller Officer.
Whether marrlflKe makes a man unfit
to judge good whisky was a question
quarreled about at length by city com
missioners sitting as an excise board yes
terday afternoon and attorneys for the
city and for druggists charged with vio
lations of the liquor law.
"The question whether n man Is single
or married should never enter into the
question of legality of sales of whisky,"
emphatically declared City Attorney John
A. Itlne. "Hero's the chairman of this
meeting he's a single man. You wouldn't
hold that against him, would you?"
'And you're single, too," remarked one
of the attorneys.
Tho question of whisky sales and argu
ment whether certain bottles contained
whisky or Just colored water or some
thing wero finally abandoned In favor of
the llfo-and-death query:
'Should a police officer show recently
amputated abnormal growths or freak
tumors to his friends, while tho ampu-
tatcd parts are still bloody?"
Special Pollco Officer O. P. Peterson of
the prosecution admitted he had shown
tho "freak growths" to a druggist and to
several friends shortly after a physician
had cut them out, but he staunchly de
nied having used them as a sympathy ex
hibit in order to obtain boozo from drug
gists.
Five Drnmrlstii on Defense.
Five druggists, whose permits were
suspended by Pollco Commissioner A C.
Kugei wero defending themselves. They
ono and all denied having sold the
whisky except under their rights within

officer purchased a bottle and ran
away, refusing to algn his name and ad
dress to tho liquor sales register.
Druggists tvho appeared were. II. S.
King, 2Z3S Farnam; H. C. Lane, Twenty
fourth and Ames avenue; Henry i.
Olson, Nineteenth and Harney streets;
tho Paxton pharmacy; tho Red Cross
pharmacy.
City commlsslonera took under advise
ment tho evidence produced by Kugol,
which consisted in each case of the testi
mony of Peterson to tho fact that ho pur
chased whisky and did not register. A
decision will bo rendered later. Two
