1. ““The Defendant seems to contend that the phrase “chemical analysis” means an analysis made with chemicals. However, I gather that the phrase does not have so narrow a meaning. My impression, after hearing the testimony, is that the phrase relates to the examination of the component parts of a substance and includes the determination of the proportion of one component part related to the whole. Thus, the test in question is a “chemical analysis”, regardless of the fact the procedure is purely mechanical.””
