THE BARTLETT, ROBBINS 4 90. cHARGIA
AZ the opening OF the proceedings In the Hill In.
vestigation to-day, Mr.. Thomas submitted O num-
Der OF letters IN general answer to the charges
against Bartlett. Robbins Co, ana Mr.. Coleman,
for the prosecution, submitted the testimony OF
MI. Sttnemetz, which was given before the House
committee on public buildings and grounds In the
winter OF 1877 apd 1873
Mr.. Coleman then called for all vouchers for
money paid to Geo. L Damon since August, 1876,
for iron safes or fre-proof shutters Also for all
vouchers for money paid Bartlett, Robbins & Co.,
or Hayward, Robbins & Co., the present frm, for
work done or materials furnished by them to the
government since August, 1876
OBJECTION WAS MADE
oy MI. Thomas that such a wholesale expose of
the business OF Bartlett Robbins Co. would be
unfair to the present nrm, in that it would dis
close their business to those who may be compe-
ting against them.
Mr. Coleman.-How can that be, when they have
monopoly OF the business7
Protracted arguments ensued. during which
counsel for the prosecution charged that Bartlett
Robbins co. had secured nearly all the contracts
for tling since the advent of Mr.. Hill as supervis-
through corrupt influences in the architects once
although not the lowest bidders.
II DKNoUNcE IT AS A SANDER"
MI. Thomas (excitedyl-n the gentleman
charges that Bartlett, Robbins 4 Co. corruptly
obtained contracts, I denounce It as q slander.
SOlcudu TepllcQ: "LeC us see the documents
showing the amounts Of money which these gen.
tlemen have received, and We will be able to tell
something about It."
The committee. after consultation ruled that
counsel should be permitted to inspect all papers
included In his call, and should submit them to
the committee.
Mr. sTINRMETZ AGAIN ON THE STAND.
MI. Stinemetz then took the stand. In 1874 wit
ness held the position OF assistant superintendent
OF construction OF the New York post of1ce, and
had charge of all the work.
Bartlett, Robbins & Co. had contract for the
Iron work. stairs, gratings illuminated tiling, &C.
They furnished the material under the Immediate
direction OF witness. The bills rendered by Bart
lett, Robbins Co. were then put in evidence.
Witness read over the items OF charge for extra
work, and testified that one pair OF stairs which
Bartlett, Robbins & Co. charged &96S never were
put into the building. and that other charges for
extra work appeared on their bills for which he
(Stinemetz) never gave any order.
At this point, number OF vouchers which had
been called for by the prosecution, were brought
In, and upon the suggestion OF Mr.. Alexander, the
committees at o'clock adjourned till 1880 to
morrow for the purpose OF af1ording the witness
an opportunity to inspect the papers.
