Federal court heard witnesses from several states as the Old Nick Distilling Company case proceeds. Revenue Agent Chapman testified about seizing the Williams plant and sampling 100 bushels of grain yield, noting 570 gallons of whisky from beer while government limits allow 350. He said deputies were not deputized officers and that pistols or guns were not shown though some party members may have carried them. Other witnesses cited a Kentucky contractor flashing a pistol and a deputy with a double barreled shotgun. The defense portrays the mission as a trespass by rival manufacturers while Williams’ proprietors are on trial. The afternoon session covered shipment records for Old Nick goods, likely lasting three days.
