The Aqueduct investigation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-In the aque
duct investigation, Frank Thoomlson,
bricklayer, said there was fault with the
patchwork. The class of men who were
set to work at packing did not know how
to do the work. Had better men been
employed there would have been better
work. Witness saw Col. Kerlin, the
chief inspector, every day in the tunnel.
He knew when the colonel was coming,
and when his lamp was visible it was
customary to throw a quantity of NOR
tar over the dry stone and thus conceal
the bad work. The workmen were
driven to deception by the contractors.
The conspiracy was thoroughly organized
and its object was tic deceive the govern
ment inspectors.
Civil Engineer George H. Corvell said
the tunnel was an expensive hole, and
should never have peer constructed. He
said he had no confidence in Major Lyn-
decker, who, he said, was supposed to
be in charge, but never did his duty.
