peared in the Daily Roman Lictor of the
following day. 1t seems that few days
ago the Times, in its whisky column, pub
lished some items in connection with one
Weiser, deputy collector of Rock Island,
whom it accused of being crookedly mixed
up with crooked distillery at Milan.
Weiscr arrived in town at an early hour
yesterday morning, and. after Having
cleaned up, as the acting mayor once
suggested that it would be the proper
thing for King Kalakaua to do, proceeded
to the government building, where he
had some business to transact with the
revenue officers Of this district, Before
he left home he filled himself full of wrath

more or less mendacious sheet. For fear
he might forget it, Mr.. Weiser tied a
piece of red ribbon round the little finger
of his right hand 1t was tied tight, be-
cause the natural inclination of a string
under such circumstances to slip might
exercise similar effect on his memoric
apparatus.
Mr. Weiser transacted his business with
the government officials, and the red
ribbon did not slip from that chubby little
finger. On the contrary, that useful
appendage to the human hand had swollen

THE ROCK ISLAND GANG,


with Deputy Collector Weiser as corporal of
the squad was lounging around the halls of
the custom house, and occupying the spare
seats in the district attorneys office, for a
considerable portion of the day on yester-
day. The smell Of pomade and sour mash
exhaled from the crowd was sufficient to
put the representatives of the press upon
the alert These men are supposed to be
connected with the Milan distilllng com
pany, near Rock Island, and they are
wanted by the government for the purpose
Of explaining certain discrepancies existing
in the conduct of the business of that
establishment The names of this corn
fed crowd are Weiser, deputy collector, a
smooth faced, fat-nosed beefy looking in
dividual, with hair-oil and peppermint at
tachments; Berg, store-keeper: Dodge,
gauger; Corker, store keeper; Frysinger,
one of the proplietors of the questionable
establishment, and one other They are a
meek looking gang, and have apparently
been ION the make" Supervisor Mat
thews has them in hand and is giving
them such advice and instructions as he
thinks they require. 1t is understood
that the Milan distilliog company has COM
promised itself in such manner as to lay
itself and its proprietors amenable TO the
revenue law. 1t is also understood that
the testimony of these parties is wanted
for the purpose of throwing some light on
sundry shipments of spirits from this city.

Col. Hawley, well-known attorney of
Rock Island, and formerly a member Of
congress from that district, was in the dis
trict attorneys Office on yesterday morning
attending to business for some of his
clients who have been unfortunate enough
to be connected with the whisky traffic 10
the bibulous town heretofore mentioned in
this paragraph.
COL Hawley is the counsel for Frysinger,
who recently paid an enforced visit to
Chicago at the request Of the government.
Frysinger is connected with the Milan
distilery, and there is strongly grounded
suspicion that things have not been done
in accordance with the requirements Of the
revenue law Col. Hawely made his in
quiries and departed by train last night
for home. A reporter Of the Times made

tor of the lapidarious village mentioned,
who visited this city some 10 days since,
in company with several grangers from the

The Grand Jury,
THE MILAN CASE.

The latter part Of the whisky investi-
cations proceeds slowly. The jurors are
no doubt anxious to go home, yet they
linger along, measuring carefully their
pace with the amount of work to be ae-
complished, so that their four weeks will
probably be fully consumed before fEal
adjournment. Yesterday they took le;s-
urely survey, SO far as they were able, of
the condition and conduct of the Milan
Distillery. which. it will be remembered,
was seized last week Monday. This estab
lishment is owned and operated by Jacob
Freisiger, and is located in the Village Of
Milan, miles from Rock Island. 1t is
not very huge concern, having a capacity
of 600 bushels, yet il would seem to have
done its little share in Gefrauding the
government of revenue. Not long age
assessments were made upon all the distil
eries in this district, based upon the
amount Of taxes supposed to have remain
ed unpaid. In those assessments the
name of Jacob Freisinger was set down fol
the comfortable sum of 1926, 200, which
shows that the government officials die
not have an abiding faith in Jacob.
veracity as to the matter of making re-
turns. When the amount Of the assess
ment was announced to him, Jacob open
ed his eyes and uttered hasty ejaculation
in his native tongue But there was moth
ing for him to do except to pay or relin
quish business He got over coed dea
of territory in very few days, attempting
to secure enough money to pay up, bu
was unsuccessful. He therefore resigned
sorrowfully, and his much loved distiller!
was seized. AS he was either unable o.
unwilling to reimburse the sum of which
he had defrauded the government, Their
was only one course left for the latter t.
take, and that was to prosecute him Grim

THE FIRST STEP

was accordingly taken yesterday. Severa!
witnesses had been summoned from Rock
Island and they were on hand early.
They were NJ 7. W eiser, formerly Deputy
Collector at Rock Island, Ben. II. Wilson,
station agent of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Railroad at Rock Island, and j.
Fashbaugh, station agent of the same road
at Englewood. They all arrived before
the Grand Jury had commenced their SEES
sion, and occupied their spare time in sit
ting around There was not many visitors
at the CustomHouse yesterday, so that
they had the corridors pretty much to
themselves.
The Grand Jury got wn to business
soon after 10 clock Mr.. Iugwell Oleson
acting as leader Of the orchestra. The
first witness called in was
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1876-02-03
NJ. 7. WEISER.

Mr.. Weiser, for a man of his apparent
ability, knew surprisingly little about the
management OF the Milan distillery. Cues
ton after question was propounded by Mr..
Oleson and by various jurors, but Mr.. ".
added very little to their stock of informa-
ton. He stated in substance that he was
Deputy Collector at Rock Island in 1870
and in 1871, and had of course had numer-
Gus transactions with Freisinger. He had
issued to that gentleman quantities Of
stamps,-enough, he thought, to cover all
the whiskey manufactured in the distillery
He did rot have occasion to visit the dis
tllery oftener than once week, and, of
course, any amount of Illicit liquor could
! have been manufactured without his
| knowledge; but he never had any suspic-
/ ions excited. 10 order to ship any goods
to Chicago Freisingcr must have loaded
them on wagons and carried them mites
through Milan and Rock Island, and people
would have known if there had been any
thing wrong After answering number o.
ether questions, without giving down ;
vast deal of new information, Mr. WeseI
was allowed to depart 1t might be super
fluous to remark here that he went ;

his duties as station agent required him t
know that all whiskey shipped from hi
depot was stamped properly. lie furthe
averred that no whiskey was ever allowet
TO go unstamped, nor was any attemp
ever made by Mr.. Freisinger Or any othe
distiller to run any Illicit whiskey over tn
road. This Was about all that he had t
say, and it covered about al! that the jur
desired to know. He was therefore dis
missed
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1876-02-03
MIR. BEN II. WILSON
MR.. J. FASHBAUGH,

station agent at Englewood, succeeded him
in the witness chair. Inquiry vas made
OF him if any Illicit whisky had been ship
ped to EngleWood irora Milan. He re-
sponded promptly in the nevatiye. The
idea that possessed tHe jury was that
Freisinger, not daring to send goods di-
rectly into Chicago, where revenue officials
were supposed to be nosing around con-
tinually, had made arrangement with GER
tain rectifers TO ship to Engiewood,
whence they could transfer the whisky in
wagons to the city. Mr.. Fashbaugh did
not furnish the jury with any positive evil
dence as to the carrying out Of the plan.
He was subjected to a lengthy and search
ing examination, but failed to contradict
his first statement He was therefore al
lowed to go in peace.
Notwithstanding the iil-success of the
iury's attempt to get evidence yesterday,
it is probable that they have definite in
formation from other sources as to Mr..
Freisinger's guilt, and an indictment may
be looked for to-day or tomorrow.
