Afternoon Session.

Tire case was hardly started in the
afternoon session when the attorneys
began clash over the admissibility OF
certain documents and the greater
portion Of the afternoon session was
taken iIp IL; arguments over objections
made to the admissibilty OF weight
checks and other documents In every
case the district attorney prevailed,
thCuGh Attorneys Bird and PhIDrook,
for the defense contested every point
The first clash took place over the ad-
mission nf three copies OF Sawyer's
which We're presented to Forrest r.
Whitehouse, an cmploye of the Water
vile post Office, for identified ton, and
was continued throughout the after
noon. Mr.. Bird objected to the adlnis-
sion of the papers on the grounds that
they We're not the publications named
in the Indictment.
The district attorney replying said
that il was the evident purpose of the
defense. in "hjecting, to raise the
question of variance. The indictment
alleges that the publication was Saw
yer's Magazine while the title as it
appears on the front page is "Saw-
yers," in large letters, and in smaller
letters, "a Monthly Magazine" He
would show that the publication was
commonly known as Sawyer's Maya
zine, He said that the papers We're
clearly admissible
The argument over the admiSsibility
continued for 25 minutes around the
judges desk out Of hearing of the jury
Judge Hale finally admitted the papers,
subject to an exception.
The desk Of the three postal inspec-
tors were piled high with papers, slips.
records, etc, which is the purpose of
the district attorney to offer in evil
dence. During the afternoon he sue
ceeded in getting in Il small portion
of what was on the table but which
included several hundred documents.
against the strenuous opposition of the
attorneys for the defense
The weight slips which were adj
mitted will have an important bearing
in the case, the district attorney said
in his opening address. and they are
depended up to prove the second count
in the indictment, that Bosnian made
false reports of weights to the as
sistant postmaster at. Waterville.

ed in that time.
He would show, he said, that in De-
cember while Bosnian was in Portland,
that Bosnian made a confession to-

sistant postmaster general. in which
he admitted that he mad fasified the
weights in his statement to the iSsist-
apt postmaster. Mr.. Whitehouse eX-
planned that he was stating this con-
feSsion as against Bosnian and subject
to the approval Of the court.
Mr.. PhilArook objected to the attor-
ney for the government stating the
subject matter of the alleged confess
sion in the presence of the jury when
it had not been shown how that al
legged confession had been obtained
whether while under duties or by
promises Of any kind
Mr.. Whitehouse said that as an Off
Ger of the court, he would be careful
to observe the proper rules of pro-
cedure and would state only what he
had n right to present.
Nh. Philbrook withdrew his objection
after the explanation and the district
attorney continued that he would Of
fer the statement OF the inspectors Of
the confession and would show that
1t had not been obtained by coercion.
intimidation or promises. He would
show by the testimony of these wit
nesscs that Bosnian had confessed that
he had tempered with the weights of
the mail from the Sawyer Publishing
Co. in March. April and May. Mr. Bo-
shan, he said. had confessed that I've
had charged excess weight in Samp'"
copies and changed the publishers sub
scription copies. in his reports to the
assistant postmaster in order that the
report would not show excess OF SAM
| pie copies and cause the publishers to
! BE- accountable to 4 higher rate Of pos
| tagc.
Mr.. Bosnian told the inspectors that
he had called Mr.. Terry's attention to
this excess and that Mr.. Terry had
promised to see about it. The next
month there was the usual excess Of
samples and he changed the report as
before and again called Mr.. Terry's at
Ftention to the matter. The government
would prove by this. Mr.. Whitehouse
said, that Terry had full knowledge
of what was being done. 1t would be
one of the strong proofs OF the con-
spiracy.
Mr.. Bosnian, in his confession to the
inspectors, said Mr.. Whitehouse. de-
clared that the reason he favored Mr.
Terry this way was because he was in
financial difficulties He bought a
house in 1905 on which he had placed

care of the first note but was unable
to care for the succeeding ones. Mr.

sideratinn of this help he returned the
favor in weighing the mails OF the
Sawyer Publishing Co
When the inspectors called Eoshan's
attention to the misrnarking Of the
mail sacks RoSian remarked that it
was an error and asked them if they
had not found as many mistakes on
one side as the other. meaning if they
had not found as many regulars mark
ed samples as they had samples mark
eli regular. They told him that they
had not; that all the mistakes had
been Of marking samples regular. The
next time the mail came from the pub
fishing house mistakes were found
both WAYS.
When Bosnian was transferred to
Portland Terry came 10 the Water
vile postolfcc and had Il talk with
him before he left and after Bosnian
had reached the postotliCc here. he
wrote to Terry. The next morning Bo-
shan was called on the telephone from

Bosnian.
In closing, Mr.. Whitehnusc said the
motive Of falsifying the reports as to
samples and regulars was To increase the
circulation in order to obtain higher adj
vertising rates. The publication was one
designed purely for advertising purposes
and was not entitled to second class
classification. It did not have leGiti-
mate circulation. II WAS not. in fact nor
law, entitled to the rate Of one cent Per
pound without which it could not exist.
BY conspiring to falsify the reports and
classification of samples and regulars.
the publishers were enabled to deceive
the postoffice department and thus to
continue TO enjoy the benefits of the low
rate for second class matter.
That was the motive and the govern
ment would produce evidence of a con-
spiracy to show that the government was
deceived and defrauded as alleged in
the indictment.
