are at all times open to the most critical
inspection of all authorized persons, but
not to Tom, Dick and Harry, to whom
l am not and do not propose to be re-
sponsible. The government maintains
an agent to look after all irregularities
In my Office among others; and at my
request an examination will be COM
menced this morning"
Now as to the potatoes?"
well, there is nothing IN It. The
practice of raising potatoes and selling
them to the government was IN vogue
at the time l entered the marshaIs Of
fee, and had been years before. l con-
suited, however, with an agent of the}
Department of Justice, and ne advised
me that the practice Dc discontinued.
II was discontinued. My own per-
soual team does lie blowing
each year, and in return for this
and other services around the Pen, the
government feeds the horses"
"And what have you to say as to the
Remington, Johnson & Co. inuendo?"
THAT there is nothing in it. You
will remember that when on the stand
this morning, stated that in that con-
nection, there was an explanation due
the public. 1 was advised by my at
tornevs that the public had nothing to
do with the question, and that [ need
not answer it. l will make the eZsS.
PLANTATION now. Remington, Johnson
& Co. supply the Penitentiary with all
that is needful for the Penitentiary in
their line. They, however, made a
proposition to me that if would carry
the goods out there and thus save
them the trouble of delivering them,
they would pay me $25 a month. l
carry the goods, while going to and from
the Penitentiary with prisoners, and
1 receive $25 per month therefor.
wrote the Department of Justice in
reference to this matter, and here you
see is the reply from Mr.. Garland, in
which he says that the matter is one in
which the government has no interest,
that it lays between Remington and
myself, the team doing the hauling be-
ing my OWL"
JUDGE POWERS.
According to the light in which edge
Powers viewed the matter, it was the
"greatest military blunder since the
order to charge at BaIaklava." "Why,"
he said, when Dyer refused to testify,
did they not drop him, and take

when before Judge Sprague. re-
fused to answer certain questions. He
was allowed to drop out, and the exam
iner went on with other witnesses.
When the Supreme Court met. the mat
ter was referred to it, and Sheets, still
refusing to answer, was adjudged guilty
of contempt and sent to the Pen. That
is what should have been done in this
case. 1t reminds me very much of a
couple of country baseball mines meet
ing. The boys have on their fancy uni
forms, and propose to lay each other
out. They have invited all their friends
to see the fun. All goes well until one
of the mines realizs that they are about
to be badly beaten. Then the'y
make a kick at the umpire be
cause OF some decision; he refuses to
relent, and the about -vanquished
nine pick MP their bats and go home,
leaving the spectators badly disap-
pointed"
JUDGE ZANE
had but little to say. There was no
use in endeaVoring to proceed, if wit
nesses could not be compelled to tes-
tify. 1t appeared TO him that the, re-
ceIver was not quite so anxious foS9n
