torn halves Of all pages of the letter
books were consigned to the waste-paper
bins IN the Land Office at one time, and
the backs of the books with the rem
nants of pages were retained until several
days Iater-Mr. Hermann declared "a
grave Injustice had been done him, and
that the apparent intent at additional
conceaIment of the contents Of the books
resulted merely from a misunderstanding
of orders by the messengers.
A letter marked personal from Mr.
Hermann TO Special Agent Lo0mis was
identified by the defendant. and he said,
under a strict Interpretation OF the rules,
il should have been copied into one OF
the letter books of Division A of the
Land Once. He declared he had not the
slightest idea any letters Of that char
acter were recorded in his books when
he ordered them TO be torn up. Speaking
OF his acquaintance with John A. Benson,
Mr.. Hermann stated he first met Benson
when the latter called at his office soon
after he became Commissioner.

records of my own correspondence during
six years tenure of the CommissiOnership
