RYAN HELD 70 COURT.
The Bogus Revenue Agent Gives Damaging
Testimony.

4
Testimony.
The preliminary hearing Of James
Ryan. arrested on suspicion of being a
/ bogus internal revenue agent, took
| plaC yesterday afternoon before United
States Commissioner Howard Atkinson
in the Custom House. Defendant was
held for court, and in default of 1850
bond, was COMMITTEES to jail. The
charge against him was that he pro-
cured WHISTLES while pretending to be
revenue officer. The penalty upon
conviction is $1,000 fine and three
years in the penitentiary.
RYAN came to BenwoOd Friday. and
visited all the saloons, stating that he
was an agent Of the United States
Treasury Department, and was sent to
Benwood to see what kind Of whisky
the saloons were selling. His method
was to sample all the WHISTLES in stock.
At the hearing yesterday Ryan gave
straightforward answers to nearly all
the questions put by the Commissioner,
and did not appear to realize the gravity
of the situation in which he was placed.
He declined to answer question as TO
whether he had any commission from
the department of which he claimed TO
be an agent, nor would he give sat
isfactory explanation of his business.
The Commissioner asked the accused
to read to him the papers which he
presented in BenwoOd, purporting to
be his credentials from the government,
which were found upon him when ar
rested.
Ryan read two papers which were
honorable discharges from the United
States army for James Ryan. r9rsician.
He also had papers as an invalid PEN
sioner. He read also his naturalization
papers. When asked if he had any
other credentials from the government
he replied in the negative.
The saloon keepers visited by Ryan
in Benwood were w. p. Curran, Jacob
Debold. VIM. Chapman, Clark Sprouts
and Peter Dolan.
Ryan is a mystery. Those who are
familiar with the case believe that he
is of unsound mind. and that he has
ESCAPED from the Soldiers Home at
Marion. Ind. q paper on his person
lending credence TO this theory. When
asked if he desired to be represented by
counsel. or to send any communication
to the department of which he claimed
to be agent. he replied in the negative
He asked for a speedy trial, and ap-
peared to manifest no great interest in
the proceedings, giving the most dam
aging testimony against himself.
