The Original Charges.
The charge against Hallenbeck and the
Metcalfs, which the government is unable
to sustain was that of conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States The company of
which Hallenbeck is the head had a con-
tract with the United States to furnish the
postal service with its money order blanks
Norman Metcalf was employed as a clerk
in the office of the Wynkoop Hallenbeck e.
Crawford Company at a salary of $50 a
week.
1t was alleged that a conspiracy existed
between Hallenbeck and the Metcalfs in
that there was an agreement between them
which provided that there should be no in
spection of the forms supplied by the COM
pany; that on account of this agreement the
forms We're printed inferior paper; that
only one side of them was Autographed
while the contract called for the hthograph-
ing Of both sides, and that by other devices
the company was enabled to save large
sums of money at the expense Of the gov
eminent.
While 1t wassnot so stated in the indict-
ment. 1t was asserted by the post office au-
thorities that the government lost at least
$5O,0UO in one year by this arrangement 1t
was also asserted that there was an agree
ment whereby the contracting company
paid young Metcalf l JIG cents for each
book of forms shipped. and it is stated that
the shipments for one year reached as high
100000 books The allegation was made
that the older Metcalf secured the payment
for the inferior work supplied by the con-
tractors.
The parties were required to give heavy
bond.
