The alleged scandal has attracted

had turned states evidence and some
sensational testimony 10 expected to

three defendants involve the alleged
furnishing OF defective boiler tubes to

Mr., Dunkle opened with an address
to the jury in which he told OF the cir
cumstances of the case, including the
statement that Emmett had arranged
with the government to plead guilty
and turn states evidence and appear
as witness for the prosecution. He
stated that the Shelby Steel Tube Co.
had been manufacturing tubes for the
navy department since 1898, but that
the conspiracy charged was begun
In 1902, the defendants being superin.
tendent and assistant superintendent
of the Greenville mill Of the company
The alleged plot, he said, continued
until 1906, that Dunn was not one OF
the conspirators during all of that
time, but that he knew defective
tubes were being furnished for battle
ships and cruisers.
| Mr.. Dunkle explained at length the
method of making and inspecting the
tubes, giving minute descriptions oi
the latter. He told how the alleged
fraud was perpetrated by the defend
ants having workmen remedy defects
In rejected tubes.
