Through the appearance yesterday before the

agent Brzezinsh. st was believed that the gov.
eminent purposed TO punish high officials Of the

II was also rumored that several OF the weigh
ers and checkers under indictment for conspiracy
10 oefraud the government out Of customs duties
on imported sugar through false weighing had de-
clded 10 tell about the fraud to escape terms in
prison. This testimony government officials have
been seeking since March. when they obtained
penalties aggregating sS4 6 Os from the sugar COM
pany for false weighing.
BrSezinsh while special Treasury agent, with
Richard Parr. another government detective took
part in the raid made at the docks on No
Vember 20, 1907, which disclosed the scheme by
which the government being defrauded and
resulted in the seizure of seventeen sets of plat
form scales that had been tempered with. After
this discovery Brzezinsh left the government ser
vice. and when the action for penalties was being
tried in the United States District Court he could
not be found.
