IN tnH detection OF CRIME, out now
many citizens come forward aud do
this. He would have been paid well
for a perjury in this case, Whatever
may be said Of him he is a better man
than many who have testified in thu
case and better than many who stGNI
close to this defendant. Who are the
witnesses in this case for Henov. One
is Johnny Jones, a man accused OF
rOhbing the Government when he vas
its trusted agent. and who on the wit
ness stand gave the baldest evidence
of his utter nnwOrthines5 in p0iCt OF
~veracitv. Mr.. Heney himself goes on
the stand centralized BY his own evi-
de"ce and by every witness that went
en- the stand.
CARsON'S PEACE OFFICERS.
Mr.. Patterson is another witness
WIZ am ashamed to say is an officer
Of the law, one chosen by the votes Of
the people to detect, assist and bring
to Justice criminals, but in this case
hired Openlr. shamelesslv, and dis
gracefully, to help by trickerv, fraud
and perjury t. aoquit these men and
openly cOnfesses that he was in their
pay. and Brule another peace-0fficer.
drawing q salary as night Waterman,
going to L~angevin'S house at night
with money to hire him to leave the
! country and the same man who e
onto the witness stand ar& Derjuroa
himself when he said he d. rot visit
Langevain or pay him money. OF al!
this gang Of Witness, tie best 10
haved. the most decent ANA respectable
is the defendant himself. As a final,
convincing act. driven TO the last rX-
tremitv. this poor defendant has been
compelled to bring into the deal the
attorney who opened the casefOr him.
For days immatelial and i~rrelavent
testimony was brought in, testimony
which only a pettifogger would have
brought in. Over a thousand Obiec-
tiOns have been recorded in the vain
attempts to YEA out the prOsecu ton
[ have been driven beyond all endur-
ance and incensed by the slurs and
insinuations put on honorable men,
until I have been compelled to depart
from my usual course in replying to
these miserable ISLANDERS. A wretched
ATTEMPT has been made to drag the
sewers and potato patches Of this couu-
try into the case to account for a loss
of $4,000 from the Mint Refinery.
II REFINERY METHODS.
1t is for YOU to decide whether his
money was lost or stolen. 1t was idle
to attribute the loss to imperfect acids
as manipulators for the testimony
showed hat during the years when
there was no shortage the same acids
We're used and of the same strength.
The cleanup Of the hues and floors and
roofs and chimneys and pots and ket-
, ties and tanks, resulted in nothing
worth mentioning, which showed that
the methods employed in the Refinery
were faultless. Mason exhautsed every
test to see if the loss had not been oc
casiOned by accident. One tank yield
ed six cents and another eight cents, 6
, little over IA cents in all. and from al
sources. cleaning, scrapinp and scour
ing, he got about six dollars and ST,
bits in all.
THE MFITS.

Q This shows beyond any question 0
!, doubt that gold had been stolen prio
! to 1894 from the refinery. 1t showe'
: there was another thief c~oncealing hi
q own thefts and Mr.. Heney's. It wa
r a bigger thief than Heney, who mad
the bogus melts, and LET us hope 70
the good name Of this State that tn
4 bigger thief may be convicted ant
t brought to justice. The theft was de
liberate and carefully planned an
the SPURIOUS melts were made, wit
e an added weight in silver to cover tn
0 decreased weight in gold
1t is lncky for the people that a
these bogus melts did not get into tn
e refinery. that one was left to serve i
evidence. 1t happened that the ma
r who had charge of these bars didn
e get them out of the way in time, pa
) he done so the crime never woul
O have been detected. No accident abol
this, it was a clear cut theft.
