Though it came from relialble sources and in spite of the fact that what should be direct and sufficient evidence Was brought to Brunswick, all who saw it are inclined to discredit the probability that a chicken of any size or kind could have a liver weigh ing a half pound. However, J. H. Johnson, who lives at 208 Albany avenue, states that he killed a moderate sized Dominique hen Saturday morning and discovered that it had a liver weighing that much. Market experts however state that such a freak is possible, though by no means proba ble. Any parties doubting such a thing are referred to the “owner” of the deceased hen.
