POSTAL TRIAL
NEARING AN END
Machen Tells the Story of the
Croft Fastener.
GOOD WITNESS FOR HIMSELF
MAKES CERTAIN CHARGES
AGAINST WYNNE.


Washington. Feb 10.-August ".
AIachen continued his testimony in the
postal trial today AIr. Machen said
he told the inventor. Of the Muller fas-
tener that his device seemed 70 be an
infringement Of the Croft fastener;
that he did not care to buy a lawsuit.
and besides it did not have the merits
Of the latter.
After Mr.. Heath retired from Office
in 1900, AR. AIaChen said, Postmaster
General Smith took direct supervision
over the rural free delivery division and
made it "a practice 10 send members
Of congress and senators TO confer
with him (Machen)- Out Of this. Ma
chen said. grew the practice of writ
ing letters to congressman signed in
his name. 4Ir. Wynne. he said, upon
taking charge, had ordered that this
should stop. Answering a question by
Sir. Douglass, Mr.. Machen said his re-
lati0us with Mr.. Wynne became
strained in February. 1893
What Wynne Wanted.
AT that time. he sslid.. Mr.. wynne
was making an effort TO increase his
own salary to $1,000 MIR Wynne re-
certain members Of congress to that
end, which I refused TO do" After
that time. ne sSid, he and Wynne were
not on speaking terms. He denied re-
ceIving any money from L0renZ for
the purpose OF influencing his action.
On crOss-examination AIr. Machen
said when he left Toledo he owed $50,
coo, but had since paid all but 81 600 OF
the Indebtedness. 1t was paid from
assets that were unavailable at that
time, he said. which consisted of prop
erty that he had in his mothers name,
and from the Lorenz note. Machen
admitted that when he came to Wash
ington he borrowed money from his
friends Co get his family here.
Pertinent Question.
The witness then was asked il it was
not d fact that he had deposited in a
bank at Westminster, Nd, between
Nov. l. 1899. and May :, 1903. the sum
Of S17.6TS. Counsel for the defense OBJ
jected. The court took the matter un-
der Amusement
Answering mother inquiry why he
did not stimL-e the inventive genius
of the country. by advertising for de-
vices better than of the Groffs, Ma
chen said:
IN the theory that might IS right
and, of course, this great government
is mighty suppose we could prob
ably have taken the device away from
the Groffs by getting somebody else to
improve it or make something just like
il for the sake of denying them the
benefits Of their genius and rights
Under the patent, Machen said. it was
neither his right nor inclination TO no.
ufy inventors to come in and improve
on their fastener. Machen could not
say that any postmaster ever made
Of the Croft fastener. !
He admitted that the postmaster at
Boston had written the department ac-
knowledging the receipt of a number
Of barrels Of Croft fasteners, and OBJ
jecting 70 them, assigning five rea-
sons therefor.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
