THE EVIDENCE CONCLUSIVE.
Allard 4 Sons Struggled in Great Guam
titles of Dutiable Goods.

New YORK, April 5.-The smuggling opera
tions of Allard & Sons, of Paris and New York
was the main topic of conversation to-day al
the Office of the special treasury agents in the
custom-house. The hitherto high standing of
this house, and the prominent social and finan-
cial standing of its customers, added to the in
terest of the case The Office of the firm was
open as usual to-day for the transaction of bus
iness, and Paul COulezand, the agent of the
firm, who was before Collector Magone yester-
day, was in charge.
Special Treasury Agent Simmons. who un-
earthed the swindle, is of the opinion that the
evidence that the firm smuggled hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of dutiable goods
into this country in the seats of antique chairs
and quaint mirrors. is conclusive. The smug-
gled goods embraced valuable paintings. laces
silks, DC. Treasury Agent Simmons is satisfied
that the customers of Allard d Sons were de-
celved into belief that the proper duty had
been paid. The amount Of their bills, he says,
is evidence of that fact
The members of the firm of Allard & Sons are
in Paris the headquarters of the house.
1t is not expected that anything further will
be done in the matter until Secretary Window
is heard from. The facts in the case we're en-
bodied in a report sent to Washington last
night. No arrests have yet been made
INDIGNANT DENIAL By THE ALLARDs' COUNSEL.
A reporter called at the warerooms of Alard
& Son this morning, and W. II. Secor, counsel
for the Allards. and Mr. Ronlez, the agent.
said: This whole affair is an outrage on a most
respectable firm, and the result will show that
the Allards are innocent of any attempt to de-
fraud the government. 1t is the work of q dis
charged employe, who has cunningly taken ad-
vantage of the fact that all the members of the
firm are absent in Paris preparing for the COM
ing exhibition.
.'They were aware that il was coming" con-
tinued Mr.. Secor, land two weeks ago cabled
70 txrttl in, IL a., -
They were put on their guard by letter re-
ceived from Blossier. the discharged agent, the
instigator of the present proceeding, and this
letter will form an important part of the de-
fense offered by my clients. My clients are
prepared to furnish bonds to any amount to Sc
cure the government for the alleged duties of
which it is said to have been defrauded."
WHAT COLLECTOR MAGoSE SAYS.
Collector Magone when asked By a reporter
if there was any new developments to-day,
said:
81 have not yet heard of any. What we want
now is the money of which the government is
defrauded."
''Is it true that Roulez, the present repre-
sentative of Allard & Sons, had admitted the
smuggling?"
He has admitted that there was smuggling.
In fact, he stated that he had stuffed some of
the imported chairs with costly goods, on
which no duty was paid"
Ibid he admit this as states evidence SO that
he could not be punished!''
mo, sir; he simply stated what he knew
about the smuggling"
