ferrtd by Samuel Gardner. The articles

peared for the Government and Mr. HAYDEN
for the defense.
Mr.. Gardner testified that while he was

there, with the consent of Architect Clark,
and some time afterwards lie found some OF
the boxes opened and 4JS of the burners gone.
Last April the burners were -epacked, and he
informed Mr.. Ellison that they were his per-
sonai property. Witness had reported the fact
to Mr.. Adams that this was his property, and
that he had not been paid for It.
Mr.. Rogers, assistant engineer of the
House, testified that he had been told by Mr..
Ellison to take what tips were needed of the
lot left by Gardner, but upon the advice of his
father he had nothing to do with them. Mr.
Ellison told witness that if the burners had
not been paid for they would be paid for
Daniel Small testified that the tips were the
property of Mr.. Gardner; they were boxed up,
but the box was opened, when some acid got
or it.
Mr.. T. II. Baker, an assistant of the Clerk
of the House, testified that Mr.. Adams had
been under the impression that tbe property
belonged to the Government, and when Gard
ner came TO him (Mr. Adams) he was in
formed that if the property was his he would
be paid for it. Witness explained that the
electrician was formerly under the charge of
the Clerk of the House, who had charge OF
the rooms occupied by him.
William j. McCord testified that the prop
erty was in the immediate charge of Mr.. Eli
son.
The Court decided that there was DO evil
deDce to show any felonious intent, and dis
missed the case.
