Postal Inspector Irwin
Tells of Number of
Deals.
HEARING AT FRISCO
How Officials Obtained
Some Gilt Edged
Shares.

San Francisco. Sept. 2S.-The hear
ing of Postal Inspector James w. En-
win, indicted for cOnspiring with Beav-
ers and Machen to defraud the gov
ernment, is proceeding before United
States Commissioner HeacOck. United
States Attorney Worth, in the cross
examination, went over much of the
trip made by Erwin and SupeTintend-
ent Richardson to Washington. At
this time. Erwin admitted, all his ex-
penSes were paid by the Postal Device
and Improvement company, but he de-
MED that he had secured any return
whatever for his services. The inspec-
tor said that he spent several days
in Washington, and introduced Rich
ardson to Machen and Beavers with
the postal device in view.
Things He Did Not Understand.
He admitted that he thoroughly in
dOrsed the invention and supposed that
he had told Machen so. Machen said
he was favorably impressed by the
invention, and would order it installed
in the free delivery system. When
asked if he knew that Machen would
be instrumental in securing the con-
tract for the company Erwin stated
that he did not understand the gov
ernment procedure in matters of this
kind. Later, however, he said that
the contract for 4 600 devices came
about three weeks after he left Wash
ington. and that the order was signed
by George NJ. Allen, acting assistant
postmaster general.
Stock for Beavers and Machen.
'Have you been told that Mr..
Machen and Mr.. Beavers held an in
terest in the company" Erwin was
asked. He replied: Il was told by
Richardson several months ago that
1000 shares of stock in the Postal De-
vice and Improvement company had
been issued to Il man named Harry
Sieger, but that it was intended for
n. w. Machen, and that 1000 shares
had been issued in the name of Nc
DOnOugh, but intended for George w.
Beavers. l was not aware of the fact
until told by him, although l had sus-
pected several years ago that they were
both interested in the company"
Something Erwin Didn't Know.
The district attorney asked if Erwin
knew of any other officials in any way
being subsidized. An objection to this
question was sustained. The witness
said he did not know that accepting
shares in company was a violation of
the law. Erwin had previously stated
that he had been given block of
stock in the company for which he
had paid nothing.
