Philadelphia, Pa. June 21.-President
Cassatt's action in making scapegoats
of several of the minor officials who
admitted before the Interstate Com
merce commission hat they had par
ticipated in the graft upon the Pennsyl-
wanna railroad, is likely to cause some
more interesting testimony before the
! commission.
Joseph Boyer, chief clerk in the mo-
tive power department at Altoona, and
Joseph Aiken, chief clerk in the super
intendent's office, Pittsburg division,
have, it is said, threatened to again
go on the stand and reveal some facts
that We're not drawn from them at the
first hearing. Boyer, it is said, has
soma sensational evidence to present.
and this evidence is the thing which
Lawyer Glasgow tried so hard to but
failed to max him reveal.
Says He Kept Money.
Boyer admitted having received 8
cents per ton from the various mine
owners upon all coal ordered for fuel
purposes by the Pennsylvania road.
This amounted to thousands of dollars.
When questioned by Lawyer Glasgow
as to what he did with this money.
Boyer said: Il kept it,"
The general rumor among coal oper-
ators for years has been that Bower
merely a distributing agency and
that he only kept, for himself, a small
percentage of the non collected, and
passed the remainder higher up. Law
yer Glasgow tried to bring this out. but
would not admit il.
o that his silence upon this point
been rewarded by dismissal from a
s225 a month situation, Boyer is said
be angry and to have threatened to
tell everything.
Says He Wa Forced to "Grat."
In his talk to his friends, Boyer has
that he does not like being
to appea as a CRATER when. as
a matter of fact, he simply followed
out the procedure which a been the
custom of the Office he held, and when
to have collected the money
would meant the loss of his position.
