wrote letter TO the Attorney-General, OF
date 21st day OF December, 1893, asking
whether such sum would. under the cir
cumstances. be reasonable and received
his reply dated the 9Th day OF December
stating that II would.
Irpon the receipt of this letter the depart

the attorney aforesaid a contract, by
which II was agreed 10 give them twenty

that established the correctness OF the
information furnished by the Pittsburg
men. and it implicated three of carne-
gie's superintendents. named Schwab.

practiced. Damages were assessed upon
the company TO the amount OF 10 per cent.

Secretary Herbert Tells How Those Inn
perfect Armor Plates Were Detected.


WASHINGTON, d. c., March 26.-Sec-
retary Herbert to-day sent to Speaker
Crisp a full statement Of the discoveries
which led TO the imposition of a fine
on the Carnegie Steel Company for inn
perfect armor plates. furnished for use
on naval vessels under contract. The
letter was accompanied by a large num-
Der Of documents
The Secretary says:
Some time in September last I receiv-
ed Information from an attorney OF
Pittsburg, Pa, who represented certain
persons then in the employment Of the
Carnegie Steel Company, limited. that
these employees had in their possession
information which would be valuable TO
the Government relating 10 frauds then
being perpetrated, as II was alleged, by
certain Of the employees OF this company.
and they would give this information to
the Government for a sufficient cOnsidera-
ton. The attorney had a letter Of in
PRODUCTION 10 me. showing that he was a
reputable lawyer. / informed him that l
had no money at my command with
which 10 pay for information, but that
If the Information should lead 10 the
recovery of moneys from the Carnegie
Company / thought | could remunerate
the informants from the sum so recover
ed: that 1 would not undertake to pay
any expenses whatever, or any matter, ex-
cept In this manner.
This proposition was satisfactory. and
thereupon three Of these employees and
the attorney representing them. James H.
Smith. Esq, Of Pittsburg. talked with
me freely.
A careful examination Of their state
ments convinced me that the information
they offered TO furnish was not without
foundation. I could not discover any
feeling Of hostility on their part towards
the Carnegie Company. They had not
been engaged in the strike, and the motive
influencing them seemed to be desire

were 10 furnish. and as they were TO re-
celye nothing whatever unless their state
ments. on investigation. proved true. and
should warrant a recovery from the COM

letter was thereupon written TO the
Attorney General, OF date the nth day
of November, 1873. asking whether the

a contingent contract with the informants
as has been indicated. The Attorney
General replied on the Hth OF November.
