Colonel Stevens entered the room he was

ing all convict made goods to be stamped

brushes from the prison to the store
house of William Dalton 81 Co., and
identified q box in court as the one. This
was opened and the brushes examined.
Casper Speck, an inspector in the brush
department Of the prison, testified that
the legibility of the stamp depended upon
the quality OF the wood used in the backs
Soft wood made the stamp iilegible, hard
wood made it legible. The samples In
court were cheap. In the better grade
the stamp was palmer. The contractors
were now marking the cases in which the
brushes were contained, and they had
ordered a new stamp. Keeper PATTERSON
and Supervisor Butler had instructed the
witness to see that the brushes were all
legibly stamped Mr. Cook had told
witness TO send no cases out without
stamping them first, but this was since
the legislative investigation was begun
at the prison. Several brush-makers
testified that it was impracticable to
stamp the brushes anywhere else than
where stamped. Judge Hoffman, who is
counsel for the Supervisor and contrac-
tors, admitted that the brushes had al
ways been stamped in the same place and
manner as those in court were stamped.
