Testimony of the Man Who Cashe
the Comma nder's Pay Voucher.


The naval court-mart.al Of Commander
Frederick r. Smith, retired, for duplicat-
ing his pay accounts. was continued today
There was a spicy colloquy between Cen
eral Brady and Judge Advocate LAUGH
heimer over the production of some tele-
grams by File Clerk Donohu of the Navy
Department that had been sent by the
accused to Secretary Herbert and Assistant
Secretary McAdoo. the question being
raised whether their production introduced
them rs evidence. Commodore Wallace
prevented display Of further warmth by
ordering private consultation Of the
court-martial. at the conclusion Of which
1t was announced that the kilograms were
not before the court as evidence and the
question Of their introduction as such could
only be considered when they were pre-
sented in the proper way.
E. H. Conard was then called. He testi-
fed that on May "a, 1898, Commander
Smith had asked him to cash a pay receipt
amounting to s9S.43 Smith had referred
him to a citizen of Round Hill, where both
parties resided who said the receipt was
good. Witness gave Smith the money and
sent the receipt for collection to Pay
master Rand, in this city, in July and
never heard anything more about it, He
asked Smith for the money several times
and finally came to Washington, where he
was told by the paymaster that the receipt
was not worth the paper 1t was written
on. Witness stated that at the time he
had cashed the receipt Smith had also
given him a sixty-day note for $BS.i3 to
cover the Indebtedness. Smith had never
received permission of witness to draw the
saS43 from the Washington pay office A
copy of the receipt was identified by the
witness after discussion and decision as to
its admissibility. The original, he said had
rot been returned to him by the pay
master. Witness stated in reply to Cen
eral Brady that he had gotten SO for CASH
Ing the receipt, having paid Smith that
much less than its face value, or SS9.43
General Brady wanted % show that Com
mander Smith was sick during the period
covered by the charges and could not pay
the debt, but the objections of the judge
advocate to this line of examination were
sustained.
Conard, continuing. said no had not
promised not to present the pay voucher
until after 1t became due.
The session after recess, up to the time
this report closed. was occupied by clerks
of the paymaster's office testifying to the
accuracy of the copy of the pay voucher
given to Conard and produced in evidence.
The trial will probably last ali Of next
week

Adolph Strauss, IA Broadway, but Mr.
Strauss was not provided with bill OF
lading or with a document of any kind to
tell him that the collection was in the
port of New York. The customs authorities
were In the dark as to the destination of
the importation, and consequently, instead
Of forwarding them to the Columbian ex-
position, they were sent to the appraisers $
warehouse on Pearl street, where they re-
mained until their identity was discovered
a few days ago. The Spanish authorities
naturally were very much disturbed over
the strange disappearance of the exhibits,
and they opened a correspondence with the
State Department, which resulted in the
recovery of the articles. The District is
especially interested in this matter for the
reason that the Spanish government has
presented this valuable collection to the
Smithsonian Institution for permanent ex-
hibition. The correspondence now in pro-
gress has In view the release of the collec-
ton from the custody of the customs Off

Il BOLD FORGER.
Deputy Recorder Hinckiey dr.
rested at Boise CITY.
Moscow Mirror. !


On Wednesday morning the us
ual quiet of Moscow was disturbed
by the rumor that Geo. N. Hinck-
ley, deputy recorder, was a forger
and that he had skipped the coun-
try, leaving many behind to finan-
cially mourn his going. The rumor
proved to be true in as far as that
he had raised" a number of county
warrants and secured a large sum
of money from unsuspecting buy
ers. His trickery was discovered
Tuesday morning and on hasty
examination the warrant record
disclosed the fact that he had
secured thousands of dollars, and
at that time no telling how large a
sum.
His method was to buy q small
warrant from some farmer or wit
ness who would receipt the stub of
the warrant which was filled out
properly and then raise it from SO
to 5000, or a 81 warrant to $500,
then make the report of the clerk
Of the board agree with the amount
and then present it for payment
and have it registered and sell to

ly scratched the date off and
changed it from August to July 26,
and from the road fund to general
county," and erased the word road
leaving it read "for work" The
erasures evoited the suspicion of
Mr.. Spottswood, and he took
the warrant to Treasurer
Hattahaugh, who found that
it had been properly regis
tered, but he, too, was suspicious
and on Tuesday morning when
Auditor Cone returned from the
farm on the Palouse, he consulted
him, and on comparing the warrant
with the stub it was found that
Hinckley had raised the warrant
from $3.50 to $3.50. The discovery
was kept quiet until a further
search was made, when it was
found that the steal reached into
the thousands. Mr.. Gone imme-
diately wired the sheriff of Ada
county to arrest him at all hazards
and hold him until warrant could
be secured and wired to him
Sheriff Naylor, District Attorney
Mitchell and others at Boise were
also wired tc secure his arrest il
possible, and he was arrested on
the following morning.
