STARTLING TESTIMONY AS TO FRAUDULENT
VOUCHERS.
George T. Sieter, ex-clerk of the board Of pub
lie works of Cincinnati, was bound over to the
grand jury in that city yesterday In the sum of
$15,O 900. Yesterday afternoon he gave some
startling testimony at the examination of
James Morgan, of the board Of public affairs,
who is charged with certifying to fraudulent
vouchers. He said he got his nephew, Joseph
Peters, to personate Joseph Meyers & Co., and
draw the money on false bills; that Peters gave
the money to him, and he paid three-fifths of 1t
to James Morgan. He mentioned specifically
where and when he paid the money TO Morgan
on two of these bills for $500 each. On cross
examination Sieter admitted that he had sworn
on his own trial that Peters did not personate
Meyers & Co., aud did not draw the money, but
said he swore in that way to shield Peters. The
case of Morgan was submitted without argu-
ment, and Judge Fitzgerald held Morgan to
answer to the grand jury in the sum of 81 OOO
which was given. This testimony by Sieter
was wholly unexpected at this time; although
it had been thought he would tell all he knew
before the trials ended.

MEXICAN LEGATION BUILDING.
Handsome Structure to be Erected in

An important Improvement, it is expected,
VIII De begun next week in the erection by the
Mexican government of handsome residence
In this city for its diplomatic representatives
"A site was purchased recently on the south side
OF street, between 14th and 18th streets las
mentioned in THE STAR, having frontage on
l street of AZ feet. The plans of the building,
which have been prepared by Mr.. A. b. Null
lett, architect, and sent to the City of Mexico
by Minister Romero for approval by his govern
ment, provide for a residence occupying the
entire front of the lot. With this spacious
frontage all the details OF the building will be In
harmony. The house will be three stories in
height, and will be surmounted by an attic
story Of graceful design. The material
used in the construction will be stone and brick,
thus enabling the architect to produce the best
eHects OF modern architecture. There will be
no attempt at display merely; but utility has
been largely considered, while, of course the
requirements OF modern taste and cultivation
nave nav not been ignored. At the two ends. tower
like features will be introduced, thus breaking
the lines and giving a grace lul appearance 10
the streets. The interior has been planned
ing ahe social and ocp life Of Of ns
members Of the legation will be effected
There will be large hall room, reception room
dining room and parlors, with all the offices
needed for legation purposes. It is expected
that the plans will reach here next week, with
the formal approva! Of the Mexican govern
ment, and the work of construction will be
begun at once. Mr. John McGregor, the we'll
known builder in this city, has been awarded
tne contract, and expects TO be able to have the
building ready for occupancy next year. The
Old frame buildings which have occupied the
site Tor SO many years have been torn down.

elegant Residences, the house formerly occupied

the Mexican government in thus erecting a
legation building, 1T is thought, will briug the
Importance OF this matter to the attention of
the representatives of other foreign govern

the present opportunity and secure building
