mode of doing business in the department.
TO-DAY.
This morning the trial was resumed, and
Mt. French again took the stand he com,
pared number of bids with the record

appeared tn be the lowest bidder. and identi-
fyiug the stamp as counterfeit. The Obligers
Cf the bonds i'm most instances were c. e.
SheatS, j. }. Kinds, and NJ. ID. Nichols, and
the record of the bids i'm the books was ident-
fled as in the handwriting of Channel.
Mr.. French was cross examined at some
length by Mr.. Cook. and he said besides his
duties i'm the department ne was engaged in
life insurance; taking policies on some of
IN" contractors llveS-eNplainedt that he knew
nothing OF his own KNOW ledge about Cham
Eel taking the bids out; that the law does
EOt specifically regulate the duties of the
clerks. Hr. Kettle has been about the de-
paTtment since this affair had become public
engaged IN. as he thinks, fixing up contracts
for other parties.

Mr.. Hine. and il developed the fact that Id

of the alleged frauds. and contracts were
awarded to other parties; Witness and Cham

Postmaster General had entered into a con
tract with Mr.. Kinds since the Institution of
these proceedings.
Mr.. Cook objected. and demanded the pro-

Re-crCss by Mr. Hine:-The contract re-
ferred To was for a route in Nevada. under

bids were opened last June, and Kinds no.

clerk Of the contract Office and he made sew
