The Gardner Fraud. The Gardiner question

of the trial OF George a. Gardner for false
swearing in order to obtain an award from the
Commissioners under the Mexican Treaty.. Dis
tuct Attorney Fendall and Henry Nav of Balti-
more. appeared for the United States, and joseph
Ii. Bradley ana James NJ. Carlisle of Wasbinr-
ton, and b, T. Perry, of South Carolina. for de-
PENDANT. The counsel of the defendant moved
TO take up the case OF John G.. Gardiner. am ac-
cessory, hrst, but the Court decided that of Geo.
A Gnrdipor should he irsi tried
A jury was then empauncled and Mr.. Nav
opened the case. he spoke of It's great impor-
lance it was the boldesl, largest, most success
iul scheme of fraud ever perpetrated against the
government. The dignity and responsibility of
the United States government, in the eyes of the
world, were at stake on the issue He gave a
succinct history of the case, and then stated
what the prosecution expected TO prove. Dr.
Gardiner, IN a memorial 90 the Board Of Com
mssloners, stated that early IN the year lsli he
was largely engaged m mining operations in the
state of san Luis Poiosl MeXuo, employed five
hundred dborers, had upwards of 100000 in-
vested ln men, buildings, steam engines. horses
mules, and men OF science-that IN 1916, he
Was compelled TO abandon the establishment. his
property having been despoiled by the Mexican
sodlery that said mines were worth half a mil
hon, aud would have yielded him $4,000 per
annum. The accused filed with Tins memorial
dispositions purporing TO be from persons resid-
ing IN Mexico, going to show that he owned SAID
mine. The issue was on the truth or fasity of
these assertions. The United States affirmed.
and expected to prove. that every statement m
the memorial, and every paper presented by him.
were false from beginning to end, pure fiction
and invention.
Gardiner received from the United States. as
the fruits of the fraud, Sl26,750 The mine
was so vaguely located L could not be found by
the commissioners, although they offered $500
reward for it--that persons whose names were
furnished as evidence oltiile, could not be found
in MeXico-that every one of the dispositions
we're made in Washington the title was manu-
featured here-that DR.. Gardiner was Door
dentist, and never could have worked such n
mine as he descubed-that he was practising
dentistry and peddling small wares on the Paei-
tc coast, hundreds or thousands of miles distant.
Insiead-that the mine, the tile, the seals, the
signatures Of public officers in Mexico were all
forged.
