Before He Had Any Proof on
Which TO Base Action.
HIS ACTS INVESTIGATED

WASHINGTON, Feb. Gust before the
postal trial was resumed to-day, Justice
Pritchard held another conference with
counsel on both sides. Mr.. Kumler, repre-
senting the LOrenZes complained that he had
received a letter intimating that improper

bers of the jury, injurious to the defend
ants. What conclusion was reached at the
conference was not disclosed.
When the trial proceeded Mrs. Lorenz

lating solely to the Identification of her sig
nature on the back of four checks issued
to her husband by d. B. Croft. d. f. Croft

ment for fasteners since any money was
received by him from the government.

chen's Office of S11O,332. Among the items
was one for Croft fasteners, covering an ex-
penditure of $S,612.

ment. Mr.. Wynne said that his approval
TO the papers was based on Machen's ini-
tials. When he had his suspicious of Ma
chen in December, 1902, that he (Machen)
was not to be trusted, Mr.. Wynne said he
had no proof on which TO base them. An
swering Mr.. Douglass, Mr.. Wynne said he
acted on Machens recommendation after
he began to suspect him. Il acted on il, -
said Mr.. Wynne, because i knew every
act of his and of mine would be investi-

under investigation as anybody in the Of
