The evidence against the New York import
ers had been quietly collecting for several
months past, and was laid before the grand
Jury of the L. S. District Court in New York
and last week the jury presented large
number of indictments against the smugglers
Among the indictments presented were
three against William II. Talcott, the buyer
of H. b. Clafin & Co., for knowingly pur
chasing silks that had been Struggled. The
first indictment contains twenty-one counts
Three of the indictments were against Horace
b. Clafin, John Clafin, Edward L. Eames
Horace j. Farchild, William Dunn, Dex
ter n. NORGE, and Daniel Robinson, compos
ing the firm Of Claflln & Co. And three
more of the indictments were against Charles
W. Field, Aaron Field, John J. Morris, vii
liam p. Fenner, and Edmund J. Fenner
composing the auctOneer firm OF Field, Nor
ris, Fenner & Co. The indictments against
these as well rs various other firms charge
silk smuggling to the amount of millions
and of course the defraudlng of the govern
ment of millions of revenue.
That there has been immense smuggling
going on by eastern importers for some time
past was selfevldent from the fact that such
western firms as Field, Letter & Co., and G.
b. Farwell q Co., of Chicago, who had for
years been in the habit of importing their
own silks, found it would no longer pay, as
they could buy silk goods twenty per cent.
cheaper IN New York than in Europe after
paying the duty,
