one about which you have testified?
| do not. Do you know whether q
laborer named Lazelle sold shades to
the employees in the Government
Printing Office at or before the time
to which you have testified? At or
about the time that | received the
shade about which | have referred in
my testimony, Mr.. Mahony stated to
me that he would like to have Mr.. La
zelle given a permit or the privilege Of
going into the Office when the night
forces were at work in order that he
might dispose of some Of these shades
to the workmen employed at night.
Mr.. Mahony was told that so long as
Mr.. Lazelle does not interfere with the
employees in their work, there would
be no objection. Whether he disposed
of any in this way | do not know. /
hand you an eye shade marked 'Ma-
hony, Exhibit No. g." Do you know
whether such an eye shade as that was
in use in the Government Printing Of
flee in 1898? l do not know. Where
was Mahony employed during the
spring of 1899? In the Office of the
superintendent Of Documents, in the
Union Building. Was he ever sick at
any other time than during the sqring
and summer of 1898, and remained
away from the office? Mr.. Mahony
was absent during the summer of 1899,
but whether it was beyond the limit
of his regular leave Of absence | can
not state, without consulting the rec
ords. You state here that you fix this
time on account of the sickness of your
wife in June, 1898. Might not you
have confounded the sickness of your
wife and the absence of Mahony as
you state in 1899. One afternoon there
came to me word that an employee Of
the paper warehouse was very i'll and
prostrated in the warehouse. | put on
my hat and went down stairs from
my Office and found Mr.. Mahony very
sick and apparently unconscious.
directed one of the employees to run
for a doctor, which he did, and in the
meantime telephoned to Mr., Felix Ma
hony that his brother was very i'll at
the Office. This, OF course was in the
spring of 1898, sometime prior to Mr..
MahOnys transfer to the Union Build
ing. which was in August, 1898, the
25th Of August. Can you fix the date,
the month, in which Mahony was
taken sick? I remember it was a
short time after my wife was taken i'll
with typhoid fever. She had to give up
and go to her bed on the 18th day of
June, 1898. Mr.. Mahony's illness was
within a week from that time.
Redirect examinations
Is it a part of yopr duty as private
caprofarv 70 tho p,,hlio Dtsiptar 70 oo
through the Government Printing Of
flee whereby you would have an oppor-
tunity to observe whether the printers
therein were wearing eye shades SINH
lar to those made by Mr., Mahony? 1t
is not.
OSCAR RICKETTS,.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Ricketts,
took advantage Of the attorneys ig-
norance of his relationship to Mr. Ma
hony and omitted to state that he was
anything but an Acquaintance" of
Mr.. Mahony. Mr. Lester has a son in
ST. Paul, and he instructed the youth
to interview Mr.. Ricketts, brother
about the eye shade sent him, but the
| telegraph was too quick for the mails
and Mr.. Ricketts, brother having been
| forewarned, shut up like a clam.
The Globe rests its case against the
Government Printing Office for the
present and submits the mass Of facts
It has published to the public in gen
| eral and Mr.. Palmer in particular, for
! Judgment and action. That the office
not only needs a new head, but tail and
| body. there can be but one conclusion
| II is Mr.. McKinley's move!
