sat- very small bundle of humanity in his witness chair
with coseness of attention that at times makes them lose
all the continuity of the proceedings.
The far-fung fame of the man, his personality and
his great wealth form the magnet that draws and holds the
eyes of all who him. And the genial ironmaster in
bellies his reputation In spite of his long and hard
perence the experience of many of the semade who

century, Carnegie has not lost that plentiful share of the
milk of human kindness with which he endowed at his
birth.

be no counting profits without frst
subtracting this sum from the $751;

leave $3S.7O012 to be divided, one
third of which is S12.900.04. which
is precisely the sum deposited by
Captain Carter to his account Janu-
airy 3. 1898, the day the division was

There are a score Of similar i'm
stances where the sum Of the thirds,
plus an extra SIS to Carriers third,
equals the sum of the governments
payment for work.
But this is only a side light on
the governments case. The evidence
is of a character which can scarcely
leave any room for doubt In q reae
sonable mind. Perhaps that Is why
the rich contractors are unwilling to
face trial.
1t is 10 years since the conspiracy
was formed to rob the government,
and seven years since Carter was
found guilty. 1t will be strange IL

Bristow held his inquisition. and the
cross-questioning began. Sometimes
it would be a short session and then
again 1t would last for hours The
victim had no privilege of having
counsel, and any reluctance to an
swer would be regarded as
Evidence Of Guilt
sufficient to warrant immediate dis
missal. Finally there came a day
when this man was called in and
cross-examined for 10 hours continu-
ously. without rest or food. That
night he was taken home in a cab.
and a physician was called. He was
confined to his room for six weeks,
with what the doctors said was a
functional trouble of the heart, and
which they also said might better be
diagnozed as severe attack of Bris-
tow.
There Is another case Of an older
clerk, on whom the breath of sus-
piciOn never had been cast. But, one
day, he was ordered to stay at home,
until his office could be investigated.
All his personal and private papers,
as we'll as the official records under
his charge were gone over by the
inspectors, and he remained at home
for six weeks Meantime, rumors
were set afioat, his reputation was
injured, and he suffered physically
and mentally in way that took
years from his life. llothing was
found to fmplicate him, and he has
since been restored.
A man named Landvoight, head of
division in the third assistants de-
partment, was among those who were
summarily removed by Bristow. Sub
seQuent inquiry has failed to make
any case against this man, and steps
are on foot to have him restored.
Little Michael Angelo Louis, in
charge of the supplies and purchasing
division, was an early victim to
Tho Bristow Ak.
Louis had filled his office for a num-
Der of years, and If he had been dis
posed to graft might have stolen
thousands of dollars. In going over
the records 1t was found that Perry
Heath had ordered a certain batch
of red ink thrown away, which Bris-
tow thought was good enough to use.
Louis, as a subordinate, had carried
out his chiefs order 1t was a techni-
cal violation of something or other
and Louis was let out. He went
down with his colors flying, challeng-
ing Bristow to meet him in the
courts of law or on the field of honor.
But he got no satisfaction. His repu-
tation his most valued asset, was ir-
reparably damaged; his income was
cut off, and there was no reparation
or appeal. No case was ever made
against him; he never was indicted,
nor was any evidence presented to
the grand jury.
There are scores of similar cases.
The postoffice investigation was salu-
tary, in the main. But Bristow should
have been called off IS months ago,
or "sicked' on some other department
where rats still abound. AS it is, he
has been swapping and snarling for
months at the heels of people quite
as honest and much more humane
than himself.
