GOVERNMENT OPENS
POSTAL FRAUD CASE
Perry Heath Among Those Who
Hear Prosecution Score Pris-
oners in Accusing Them Of
Conspiracy to Defraud.

WASHINGTON, Jar 12.-The work Of
impanelling "A jury in the trial of August
w. MaChen. the Croft Brothers and DIR.
and Mrs. Lorenz on the charge Of con-
spiracy to defraud the Government in
connection with the sale OF letter-boS
fasteners was completed to-day.
The jury is composed of the following:
John Cocker, blacksmith; Carl Peter
sen, jeweller; Douglas Markham, gar
dener; w. o. Bergman. printer:
Charles E. West, hardware dealer; w.
p. Cannon, railroad man; Clarence
Bradburn, clerk; Holley L. Herrell, lum-
Der dealer; John +. Gerhold, barber:
Roache Abel. druggist; I. E. Clements,
grocer; David Wetzell, retired.
Following the swearing in of the
Jurors counsel for defendants moved
that the Government elect on which
count the trial would proceed. District
Attorney Beach opposed the motion on
the ground that the Government was
not required to do so. Judge Pritchard
said he woul not rule on this point
until after he evidence was in.
The Government scored "a point when
Judge Pritcliard allowed the flee
inspectors who are to go on the stand
TO remain in the room, all the other
witnesses having been excluded.
District-Attorney Beach opened for
the Government, and recited the several
counts in the Indictment, specifically de-
fining what is meant by conspiracy, and
said that the defendants had been
brought into court or IA charge of dis
honesty.
He related the long-standing friend
ship of hiachen and the Lorenzes and
their business relations. as we'll as the
dealings Of the Groffs with the former
Superintendent of the Free Delivery.
and said he would prove the payment
to Machen by the Groffs of 40 per cent.
of the price of the fasteners, a part of
which went to the Lorenzs as interme-
diaries.
Counsel for defendants waived an
opening statement, whereupon an adj
Journment was taken to permit the Dis
trict-Attorney and counsel for defen-
dants to agree with reference to the
examination of certain evidence in the
possession of both.
There was a noticeable increase in the
attendance to-day. Conspicuous among
those In the courtroom was former
First Assistant Postmaster-General
Perry 8. Heath. one of the witnesses
for the Government. First Assistant
Postmaster-Gcner Robert j. Wynne
also was present, as well as several
members Of Congress.

|1hls Time President Hammond,
Of the New Union, Is Arrested
at the Instigation Of Sam
ParkS's Friends.

J. b. Hammond. president OF the New
York Housesmiths' Union. was arrested
to-day, charged with interfering with
the men at work on the new hotel at
Broadway and Twenty-ninth street. He
was overcome by the iron workers or
the building after a lively fight and
held until the arrival of a policeman
from the Tenderloin station.
Soon after the ironworkers started
work to-day Hammond appeared. He
showed his card to the man on guard
1t the entrance and vas allowed to pass.
Almost all the men at work on the
building were former supporters of Sam
Parks, and they ave not been friendly
TO the new union started by the en-
ployers.
Hammond demanded one after another

Hammond demanded.
"Who are you?" asked Smith.

fought with a will. They were on a

Back and forth across the narrow
strip he struggled to free himself. but
the odds were too heavy against him..
He was at last overcome and held fast,
although everyone of his captors bore
some mark of the encounter.
A union man had hurried into the
street and soon returned with Policeman
Mott. of the West Thirtieth street sta

FINED $4,000
AND GETS A DAY in JAIL
Postal Fraud Conviction Bars Ex-Congressman
from Ever Again Holding Office
Unner Federal Government.

Edmund II. briggs, former Democratic
Congressman from Brooklyn, who was
convicted last week of having used his
official position to advance the sale OF
automatic cashier machines to the Post
Office Department. was to-day fined
$4,000 and sentenced to one days I'm
prisonment in Raymond Street jail by
Judge Thomas In the United States Cir
cult Court in Brooklyn.
briggs, who was very much affected
by his position, had to stand and listen
to a long address by the Court before
sentence was imposed. AS soon as he
learned his fate his counsel handed n
certified check for $4,000 to the clerk OF
the court and briggs, accompanied by a
United States marshal, started for the
Jail, where he will be obliged to stay
until 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Shortly before noon briggs and his
lawyer, Hugo Hirsch. entered the court
room. United States District-Attorney
Youngs and his assistant, Mr.. Chat
field, who conducted the prosecution.
were already there, and as o o as
briggs was seated Judge Thomas took
MS place III Tie Dtl-Shs ihAce 'fS
preliminaries briggs was ordered to
rise and advance to tho bar. Judge
Thomas then said:
Judge to Prisoner.
II would that a sense of propriety had
made this offense impossible even with
out the constraint of the statute. whose
wholesomeness and deterrent spirit are
clear, Notwithstanding some imperfec-
lions of ph~raseology.
The provisions of the statute deprive
you of the capacity TO hold office under
the National Government. The signii-
canoe of the Acknowledgement will not
be apprehended by persons Of inferior
sensibility. but its magnitude and the
fine hat will be imposed exclude the
fitness of a larger imprisonment than
that exacted by the law. A just fine
will leave you no benefit of the under
taking. Indeed a man of honorable feel
ing, although he has erred. would abhor
the retention of what came to him IL
your attitude.
"rhere are those who do not think
well of kindness in judicial utteranCe
on occasions like this. They confuse
harshness with firmness and mistake
severity of speech for forceful adminis-
tration of the law They consider that
the offense wipes away all beauty of
character and excellence OF citizenship.
/ do not underestimate the duty or
value of plain speaking. but in my view
the dignity. of the court and the efficacy
of punishment are not diminished by
civllity or even benignity toward n
whose worth OF character, however i'm
