OF THE VALUE OF THE TESTIMONY
Rehm can adduce there are various opuious.
Wbile it would no doubt appear more in accord
auce with the idea Of justice to havo Hesing and
Rehrn fairly and sQuareiy tried and lot
them take the consequences Of such
3 trial, serious enough If inflicted to their full
e1tert, still there is an evident disposition on
the part OF the Government to probe to the bot
tom OF this crooked business. to get at the real
Offenders, the corrupt officials, without whom
there would have been no Whisky Ring, in which
that the Government is right. Nevertheless.
there is strong desire TO see corrupt individuals
punished aud it is with degree of perhaps
natural regret at their escape that there is just
now m outcru against thus Eqnirming out Of

After Judge Bangs had come out OF bis office
Yesterday afternoon, and had taken tho precou-
tion to lock the door over Sunday, he WAS eet
upon BY a TRIBUNE reporter, Who Of course, de-
sired to know what lad been done.
81 really can't tell you what was done; in
fact it Vas pretty muci, all talk. You ses I
couldn't commit the suicidal course Of telling
you what We did for that would hurt our case :"
responded the Judge.
tsThere seems to be an outside opinion, Judge,
that the Gorornznent is letting down Gu sheso
whisky matters. Is that the casa :''
II know that's the opinion. Why. I am ap-
preached every day and asked by my friends If

..Do..you think the trials will come up na1t

II know that no cont1nuances arc to be al
''Yes, but won't several plead guilty and give
it up as bad case?"
II have no doubt that quite 4 number will
plead guilty"
q Is Haaing among the nrmber?'
"We1l, now. it wouldn't be fair for mo to an.

an unenyiable position II We keep that up. I
really don't think have anything to say except
that re are pursuing what We cousider the best
possible course to mete out justice to all.
- 1t is sad, Judge, that Rchm to-day gsve up
B7ydges, and J. F. Hoyt, and received promises
OF immunity for telling on these gentlemen. Is

proper for me- to answer that question"
You can certainly sag no, if the story is In
correct
NO cannot. II yon should publish the
fact tint these men we're given up, and It were
not 80, it would be an injustice to them; il they
we're given up, the publication wonh pat them
on their guard, and they might get out OF the

"Ao; can't ansHer that question either ono

Secretary OF the Treasury"
''Both aro informed AZ to What ne are doing
here

"We1l should rather suppose they did, Or
we wouldn't carry them on-"
And that was all tho reporter could get out Of
Judge Bangs
Tie prevailing impression is that Tuesday
morning when the cases nre called there will be
number OF pleas changed from not guilty to
guilty. Hoyt processes to be ready for trial,
heeley and KerWin stick it cut, and Bal
1ent,ne and Lawrence ara also among the

before the day dawns, but If they should adhere
to their repeated declarations they will be the
only three defendants OF any prominence who
