The Judgment OF the COMMITTEES on sufE
Fort and Witowskfs Claims.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Ths committee
OF Treasury oficials appointed by Secretary
Drlstow to act as inquisltors over the Third
Auditors and Second Comptroller's ofices,
have ended one unpleasant portion Of their
duty, and are now engaged in pronounc-
ing tho sentence Of death by decapitation.
Their report will show, imperfectly however.
that the claims OF SuRE Fort and wltowski,
by which the Government was swindled OF
thousands OF dollars, were frauds OF the worst
kind" bare-faced frauds" as was remark
ed by one OF the committee - containing
internal evidence Of itself which ought to have
made the frst clerk who handled the papers In
either bureau stamp them as fraudulent as
readily as a teller OF a bank would brand ooun-
terfeit money. 1t does not appear that the
committee individually or collectively intend TO
whitewash any of the ancient OF honorable ON
clals In either the Auditors or Comptrollers
Office
There Is not head Of bureau In the Treas
ury Department but what conoenps the system
OF accounts by which these swindling claims
werc carried through. Even the clerks IN the
OH res Investigated concur In the opinion of the
committee that thero was extraordinary caro-
lessness or criminal colusion in passing such
claims, and since the Indictment OF Avery and
JabcOCk, the law which makes n sin Of omission
as great as one OF commission, causes tbs Ring
Of clam thieves to tremDle lest Justice does
sonnet hing mere than turn them out of once.
Tue system OF checks has been carefully IN
quired into and found Lacking, and q Secretary
Brstow Ia pledged To carry out reforms, the
new mode OF preventing frauds IN the accounts
Ing bureaus will be to appoint onicer. TO the re.
sponsiOle positions who understand the impor-
tance of not passing fraudulent claims, any
more than allowing parties tn rob the Treasury
by forged checks, or for dishonest employees To
gamble with tns nations money.
The trial OF Witowski, II IL claimed, will show
far worse management OF Hnalrs In the Treas
ury Department than the committee dare en-
body In tneir report. Before a jury the Govern
ment Will TO compelled to make such an ex-
position OF the procedure In the bird Auditors
and Second Comptrcller's Offices will, under
cross-exnmination, develop with what facility
| claims to an enormous amount have been passed.
Concerning the pledge Of reticence which the
members Of the committee united upon, II was
| suggested to-day that II several Of the gentle
men would DO more careful In matters OF more
| Importance TO themselves the world would not
| be wiser and the public generally would have
more faith In their investl tlsations.

HINTS FoR THE ELEGrsLArURE.
Testimony from Men who hnvo had Expe-
rlence In Dealing with Criminals.


At the opening Of Yesterdays session of
the Assembly Committes on Crime, letter
from Recorder Hackett was read, In which that
Official asks to DO excused from testlfy,ng before
the committee, because he thinks that mo
criminal judge should be interroeated as to his
individual views concerning the administration
of criminal matters in the county wherein he
acts as NJ gistr,te."
Col John H. Fellows said that no jrdge could
legally accept plea OF al attempt to commit
crime. II the commission " the crime can he
proved. nor to suspend indefinitely the sentence
OF a convicted person. The District Attorney
should have the same right to appeal from the
courts rulings tnat IS given by law to prisorcis
A permanent Court Of Special Sessions Ia need
ed. All misdeneanors should be tried by this
court. Appeals from this court should be made to
the Court Of Appe Ia direct. The Colonel thought
that too free Ind ulrcnce In liquor Is the chief
cause VI crime. Another cause II tho large
personal liberty riven to people by our free In
situations. Criminals, the Colonel added, are
under less surveillance IN this country than in
Europe. New York city. he continued, IA the
sewer through which every nation pours its
criminals
TX Assistant U. s. District Attorney A. II.
Purdy thought that cert Ia cases Of misde-
meanurs might be tried on Information Instead
Of by Indictment The detention of witnesses
H.. m his opinion, an unnecessary hardship, and
