MR. WALTERS

AW1TNESS WHO PREFERS A WORKMAN s OPIN-
Ion To MR.. WALTERS.
In the Investigation at the Interior depart
ment of the charges preferred by the stone
cutters against Architect Clark yesterday +.
Heidenrich, grante-cutter. gave testimony
criticising the marble used in the terraces and
approaches 10 the Capitol and the quality of
the work. Upon croSs-eNamination the witness
stated that he had never cut a foot OF marble i'm
his life.
John c. Morgan, uarble-cutter, also gave
testimony against the marble used in the new
terrace and elsewhere. and criticised the work
man ship. He thought that the marble SO used
was worth about one-half OF that used in the
Capitol building. ON crosse Examination he
spoke II the highest praise OF Mr.. Walters
an architect. Upon being asked whose opinion
he would prefer 10 Mr.. Walters in passing upon
work. the witness said lac would prefer that of
a workman of common sense, SO tar as material
and workmanship were concerned. The wit
ness admitted that work might sometimes be
pronounced first-class in spite OF a lew patches
OF cracks. He agreed TO give up his case ii 1t
could be shown that the terrace walls were
equal to the walls OF the Capitol building.
THE TESTIMONY TO-DAY.
This afternoon VIM. I. Robinson, a marble
cutter, and John Lyons, granite and marble
cutter, gave testimony criticsing the marble
used and the work done i'm the approaches to
the wings OF the Capitol. Mr. Lyons said that
the work was such that he would not have
accepted IL if lac had been an inspector for the
government.
