NO FRAUD is INVOLVED
STATEMENT OF INDICTED POSTAL
INSPECTOR j. II. ERWIN.
He Explains His Connection with a
Postofiice supply Case-Beaverss
Hearing Is Again Adjourned.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 25.-James r.
Erwin. indicted postal inspector. to-day
pleaded innocence before United States
Commissioner Heacock. He desired to
show why he should not be held for trail
in Washington and made complete state
ment OF his connection with the alleged
postoffice frauds. He denied the charges
specifically and then told of his knowledge
of and connection with the affair. Erwin
had notebooks and memoranda to verify
what he said. He did not deny having
knowledge of the sale of the patented letter
box attachments and a compliance with
the schemes of the local Office whereby they
developed the service and sold them to the
government.
Erwin said that he never had anything
officially to do with the acceptance and in
stallment of the devices The attachments
are now in use in several cities. Erwin
said that as assistant general superintend-
ent Of free delivery he induced the use OF
the devices. The number in under his
direction, he said, was 1000 or LOO. He
asserted positively, however, that he never
knowingly defrauded the government and
that the sum total of his earnings from
the postal device and Improvement COM
pany was S96. Erwn's testimony in part
was a follows:
ION Nov. %, 1899, secured twenty days
leave Of absence and went with ID. s.
Richardson, general superintendent of the
San Francisco office, to Washington to Sc
cure contracts for the Montague Letter
Box and Device Company as the company
was known at that time. 1t has since
become the Postal Device and Improvement
Company. The invention, j understand,
was Mr.. Richardson's. Ny advice was So
lcited because of my length of service and
| suggested several Improvements.
ION the certificates of stock given to me
by Mr.. Richardson appears the name Of
the Montague Company. L now hold 600 out
of 10000 shares in the postal device COM
pany. For these L paid nothing. The con 8.
sideration I gave, l was told, was the serV-
ice | rendered in perfecting the device.
THE object of trip to Washington in
November, 1899, was to interest the depart
ment i'm the device. | was paid nothing for
nv services. In Washington | personally
introduced Mr.. Richardson to many officers
and employees in the department and asked
them to offer any suggestion they could for
Improvement.
Il never had possession of any stock other
than that issued to me, nor did | place any
stock whatever among the employees of the
PoStoffice Department. / was never iii
rector of either the Montague or the pres
ent company. So far as / know, il was
never planned to place any stock among the
officials of the department In my official
capacity | never was called on to pass on
the usefulness desirability OF the device"
Erwin then specifically denied that at
any time had he conspired with Machen.
Beavers or any one else for the sale of
the devices, further than he had already
testified.

Beautiful weather crowned the last day
of the horse show. the finale being all that
could be desired. Competition was espe-
cially keen In several harness events.
Most of the big winning stables ship TO
Louisville to-day including the large
strings of \. Z. Ashbrook, Frank Hogan,
VIII X. White and William e. CARING.

One of the pretty shows of the evening
was park tours. the coaches carrying
freight of delightfully."- gowned femininity.
which added greatly To the personnel of the
class.
w. G. Carvings Miss Pickwick and sister
had everything in their favor in the
pair roadster event barring bad manners
and tendency to break. They are
sweet, breezy pair, beautifully matched and
Comment was favorable on the sports
man-like way in which the local contingent
took their wins and losses. There was
philosophical spirit when the judges de-
cided in favor of the other fellow which
is the life Of sport.
one OF the judges complimented Mr.
White upon his rarely easy seat on the box
impression of il being child's play for him
to tool spirited four in and out OF the
mazes of the figure eight.

Frank Murphy was the largest local
ribbon winner, taking eight rosettes. One
Of the Sims boys very anxious to ship
Dewey, his handsome chestnut stopper to
Chicago with him. but Mr.. Murphy cannot
make up his mind to part with him.
Creighton and CARING were the popular
favorites in the heavy pair harness class,
over which the judges pow-wowed so long.
They received the applause of the week
when they circled the ring wearing the
yellow rosette-a color which Mr.. Pepper
keenly resented.
A. r. Ashbrook has leased William r.
Browns new pair OF prize winning high
steppers, Salute and Sapphire, that have
been SO successful. They will be taken on
the circuit, and will doubtless cover them
selves with glory and blue ties under that
whips astute management Mr.. Brown
paid 81, 100 for the pair two weeks ago, and
since then their price has taken a big leap
owing TO their wins this week

A Boston society proposes to
solve the negro question by bring
ing the negroes of tho south to Bos
ton to distribute them from there
over the northern and western
states. While this proposition may
he a laudable one, it oyerlooks the
greatest factor against its success,
and that is, that the colored man
will refuse to be distributed in such
manner. He recognized that the
south is his home and in the south
he will stay.
