When the inspectors inquired of
Green as to these payments to Beavers.
he refused to make any statement. He
was subpoenaed before the grand jury
and he still refused to answer II
questions.
The inspectors also called upon
Doremus and asked permission to ea-
anime the books of the company to
either verify or disproye the truth of
the statements of Truesdell, Ida r.
ICrowell and Long, but they We're re-
fused permission to see the books.

NIT them to be examined; that they

The Tyner-Bsrrett Cases.
The array of evidence concerning the
office of I'yner, assistant attorney gem
eral for the p~ostofiee department, is
startling. Tynef and Barrett's selling
of the right kind of opinions to get
r~ich-auick and turf Investment con-
Germs has been detailed piecemeal in
the press, This appears to have been
the most vieiously corrupt department,
for such monumental frauds We're per-
petrated by il. On the public, while the
grafters got SO little return. Thus the
e. J. Arnold FUR company was al
flowed to rob the public of S3,000,00, on
| payment of about $4,000 for ruling all
lowing it to use the mails.
The supply contracts for many arti-
cles are shown to have been utterly
corrupt, the goyernuoantpaying excess
siv.e prices for things worthless or not
needed, and Beavers and Maehen and
their associates In the department get
ting part of the raSeoff.
