Gertrude Westbury, wife of a city chemist, was charged with selling methylated spirit on a Sunday without proper authorization. The case reviewed evidence from revenue detectives who purchased the spirit and were offered drinking samples. Westbury admitted selling the spirit but denied intent for intoxication or harm.
