The petition filed by ATTORNEYS.
Waters & Waters, sets forth that At

the Wareroom to store barrels of -four
in tier which was already three bar
rels high, and that he saw before be-
ginning work that the lower tiers
were not sufficiently Checked" and
that he called the attention of the
foreman, John Buchanan, to the fact,
but that the foreman told him to go
ahead with the setting of the fourth,
fifth and sixth tiers in the pursuance
of which order the barrels slipped
and tumbled throwing him down

In the fall Atterbury struck upon
the edge of a barrel severely injuring
his spine and kidney. In spite of the
injury he continued work for two
weeks doing full time, but that for
the two ensuing weeks he could work
but part time, when his injuries be-
came SO painful he was forced to seek
surgical advice.
John c. McClintock was consulted

with him of sugar under weighing
frauds. was resumed today all pending
motions had been disposed of and but
one seat in the jury box remained I'M
filed.
The jury was completed shortly after
court convened and the government
opened it's case.
I'VE expect to prove beyond a doubt"
declared Attorney Wilfred T.. Denison
in his opening statement, that since
the very date of the imposition Of a
duty on sugar the Havemyer and Elder
Sugar Refining company, has defrauded
the United States government of por-
ton of the duty charged"
Mr. Denison told the jury the now
familiar story of the trick scales and
hole and a wire in each by means OF
which the weighers are alleged to have
manipulated the scale beam to make
the sugar weigh less.

try papers of the steamship Eva,
which in 1907, brought the cargo of
sugar about which the testimony of
the government is expected to center
in its attempt to fasten specific frauds
