Harrisburg, Pa, May 21-The com
monwsalth gained an important VIC
tory in the capitol trial when it sue
ceeded in getting before the jury bills
for transactions prior to that upon
which the indictment is founded, the
idea being to prove that the company
had a different system in those days
The defense objected strenuously. and
the jury was sent from the courtroom
for almost two hours while the law
yers engaged in a forensic battle
Judge Kunkel finally admitted the
bills. which dealt with table similar
to that for which the state paid $22So
Two experts were heard, ]. G. Ian
ming. of Philadelphia, and H. G. Datz
of Jersey City, both of whom gave tie
timony, which was largely technics
dealing with measurements, gradef
and the like. S
The commonwealth has, presented
in evidence two cases and photo
graphs of other articles of furniture
mentioned in the invoice, and each one
is being described by an expert in or
der to prove the contention that they
were Improperly billed.
In answer to a question of Deputy
Attorney General Cunningham, Datz
said that the exposed surfaces OF the
cases had been finished by different
processes. The front and end panels
of the cases. he said, had received
high surface finish, while the tops and
backs were rough. The contention o.
the defense is that it was justified in
charging for all exposed surfaces.
Datz told of the gauge measure

anything measuring over eighteen

all under that being light. He saiG
the big case exhibited to the jury, II
