Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, April 18, 1913, p. 1. Convicted On Own Testimony. During the trial of the Sam Cline blind tiger case at Bedford a keg of alleged beer was arrigned [sic] before the (court) bar, and put on tap to testify. Several lawyers sampled it, but Judge Shea declined, as it was too soon after breakfast. The lawyers said it was real suds, and the keg was convicted on its own testimony.
