Company Case.
WATCHED IN RENTED ROOM

on 119 Counts. Denies All
Wrongdoing.
I -.-1
Trial of the case of tli? United States
government against Thll C. Kelly. In?
corporated, for alleged violations of
internal revenue laws. In that the de?
fendant rompany failed to enter on
the forms prescribed by law certain
quantities of whiskey received from
the Darbytown Distillery and ottier
sources, began In the United State
District Court, Judge Edmund \Vaddlll.
Jr.. presiding. In special session, at 11
o'clock yesterday. Judge f,. I? l,ewls
and Assistahl District Attorney Tal
l<-y represented the government, while
H. M. Smith. Jr.. and George A. Han
sen represented the accused. .
The case involves a close point >f
law. The defense will hold that Inas?
much as the whiskey alleged to have
been received was in quantities of four
gallons each, the transaction wa-i
strictly a retail one, and does not come!
under the provision of the statute re-!
quiring entries to be made on >-pec:
fled forms. In addition. Attorney Smith
stated In his opening address that he
would attempt to prove that it was an
impossibility for any one to determine j
whether whiskey or water was In the
1r.ps referred to. and that the fact that
a government special agent was on the
ground all of the time was known to |
the defendants.
40,000 f.aliens luvolved.
* The case at bar probably re pre? en til
the largest criminal procedure ever
Instituted in .the history of the locilj
revenue department. Forty thousand
gallons of whif-key are alleged to have
been received by the Kelly company
illegally. On HI counts of the Indict?
ment It is alleged" that the whiskey
rioted by the special agent, M. J. En
right, was received for the greater part
in wagons bearing tho name of John
Thompson, rectifier and wholesaler, and
also largely interested in the Darby
town Distillery, the place from which,
at lenst by Inference, the whiskey
started. ,
The five remaining counts of the In?
dictment, there being 119 counts In
all. allege that the defendant failed to
properly enter the number of gallons
of whiskey rectified or from whero re?
ceived. Examination yesterday was
confined to the first 114 counts, and
Major Enrlght was th? chief witness
for the government.
The prosecution Is being conducted

more than $r>.000. and Imprisonment
for not less than six months nor more
than two years. Is provided.
I.nTT As to nectlfylng.
Section 331S provides that "every

provide a hook, to he prepared and j
kept In such form as may he prescribed !
by the commissioner of Internal rev?
enue, and shall, on the same day on

ber on each package, the number of
wine gallons and proof gallons, the

of adhesive stamps thereon."
For failure to comply with this stat-j
ute a fins of not less than $100 nor
more than $.',000 and Imprisonment
for not less than three months nor
more than three years Is provided.
There are three separate and distinct |
forms on which the records must be J
presented to the collector of Internnl
revenue. Forms f,2-A and .".2-B relate |
to rectification, while form 33S has to
do with the monthly report made by
the wholesaler. The majority of tho
counts In the Indictment against the
Kelly Company come under section
331S. Should conviction he secured It
is probable that the government will
sue to recover the nmount of money
alleged to he due because of the illegal
nets of the defendant. Many thou?
sands of dollars arc Involved, and the
case Is being watched with much In?
terest, the courtroom being crowded
throughout the day with an eager
throng of spectators. Should the de?
fendant company be found guilty on

Judge \j. [a Lewis made the opctl'ng
statement for "the government, In
which he explained several of the pro?
visions of the law. pointing out tit
the same time that the prosecution
hoped to prove that the defendant had
fraudulently received certain pack?
ages of whiskey and had made false
entries on the government books.
II. M. Smith. Jr.. placed his case he
fore the jury for the defense, lie out?
lined briefly what he hoped to provo
and assured the jurors that the 110
counts were not as formidable us they
appeared, nor would lake up as much
time as might he thought. Ua held
that his client was innocent of any
wrongdoing, and that the presence of*
the government official was at all times
known.

Smith.
His testimony. In substaiice, follows:
"I am now a spoc'al accountant In
the Treasury Department of the United
States government, but during the pe?
riod from August 17. 1500. to April 1,
1010. I was sent as n special agent
of the Internal Revenue Department to
Richmond for the purpose of Investi?
gating certain suspicious circum?
stances In connection with the whiskey
business conducted by the Phil O.
Kelly Company.
"Kor the Information of the jury I
have drawn a diagram of tho neigh?
borhood 'n which the Kelly establish?
ment Is situated. ('1 .to diagram, drawn
on a blackboard, was Introduced and
explained by witness.) I rented a
room In rear of Robert S. Christian &
Son, 1411-1113 Davenport Lane. This
room was so located as to look r'ght
into the rear of Kelly's place. Tho
window in t!tc room was covered with
cobwebs, and looked anything but sus?
picious. With a peep-hole cut In the
window I could easily see all that
went ?n In the place acro.?s the alley,
and could hear conversations. It was
but nin'-teen feet from where i was
to the store.
"I occupied that room about August
IS. 190?, ami never left, with the ex?
ception of about a month, from Octo?
ber 25, to November LT?. MOO. until
April 1 It was my duty then to watch
I lie several loads of whiskey delivered
at the rear of the place across the
alley, i was at tlrst particularly struck
by the celerity with which the wagons
were unloaded and the suspicious man?
ner In which every one acted."
Witness then proceeded to verify
the several counts In the Indictment
and was still occupying the witness
chair when court adjourned at 1:30 P.
M. for dinner.
Told About Jugs.
At 3 o'clock court reconvened, and
.Major Knrlght. continued on through
the remaining 100 counts, telling tho
exact number of loads delivered each
day, the numher of Jugs In each load,
and the quantity of whiskey contained
in each jug.
He told of what he regarded as
peculiar circumstances, especially that
when tho government Inspectors wero
around taking inventory 'no whiskey
was received by Kelly In the two
wagons?one white topped and tho
other black topped, and bearing tho
sign of John Thompson. Ills testimony
was given from memoranda mittle from
notes taken during his long vigil, and
Mr. Smith noted objection to the tes?
timony thus given.
At the conclusion of the direct tes?
timony witness wns cross-examined by
Attorney Smith.
"I want to see the records from
which your testimony was given," said
Mr. Smith.
Olive 111 in Hie Records.
Upon request made to the court the
recor-8 were given him. After close
scrutiny, the attorney declared that In
not one instance was the word whis?
key used, as referring to the several
loads of jugs received by me Kelly
Company.
"Why didn't you say whiskey In your
report?"
"Because I thought the persons to
whom the report was made would un?
derstand." witness replied.
"But you didn't say whiskey. Now,
as a matter of fact, do you really know
that there was whiskey In thoso Jugs?''
"I do."
"Mow do you know?"
"I smelted It."
"Von mean to tell the Jury and the
rourt that with whiskey nelng recti?
fied and bottled In the place, and with
the windows open, you could detect
that the odor of whiskey was not from
the store instead of the Jugs-'"
"I do."
"Now, Isn't It a fact that you smellert
whiskey all of the time?"
"I suppose I did. There was always
morn or less odor of whiskey, bvit
when the jugs had boen emptied, tho
corks drawn and tho Jugs placed back
In the wagon, the odor was particularly
perceptible."
Question of Cnpnctry.
"There Is another question I want to
ask: How did you know that tho Jugs
contained four gallons, admitting that
they did contain whiskey? How did
you know whether they wore half
tilled or wholly tilled, or whether they
cont lined two gallons or one gallon
or four gallons?"
"By the way they wcro handled."
"You swear that the Jugs were full,
and yet you never looked |n them,
never saw the contents measured, never
weighed thctu nor ever gauged them?"
"To the best of my knowledge and
belief. 1 swear they were full."
Counsel continued to question wit?
ness, along these lines, but lie stuck to
his original story. It was the evident
d.slre of counsel to show that tho
witness was not positive as to the
number of gallons contained In tho
Jugs, nor of what kind of fluid was in
them.
At this juncture, 6:16 o'clock. Judge.
Waddlll announced that court would
adjourn until to-day nt 10:30 o'clock,
at which time the cross-examination of
Major Eniight will be continued.
Counsel for the defense was granted
tho privilege of examining the records
from which Major Knrlght refreshed
his memory.
The striking feature of the witness'
testimony was that when the revenue,
officers were in the building no jugs
were received, but as soon as they left
the wagons reappeared. Several ex?
ceptions were noted by the defense
during the hearing. There are several
witnesses yet to be called for the gov?
ernment.
