SUGAR COMPANY ON RACK
More Evidence Produced Of False
Weighing of Imports.
SCALES ARE TAMPERED WITH
Large Mass OF Documentary Testi-
mony Is Submitted over Pro-
test of Attorneys for the
Defendant.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-At the resumption
today of the trial of the governments six
suits against the American Sugar Refin-
ing company to recover upwards of $40,
900 in damages for alleged false weighing
of imports. a great mass of documentary
evidence. consisting of bills of lading, en-
try affidavits. and invoices, which con-
stitute the basis of the governments case,
was admitted over the objection of coun-
sci for the defense.
Photographs and diagrams of the scales
of the Havemeyer and Adler refining docks
in Brooklyn, purporting to show the al
legged fraudulent appliance which, accord
ing to the pictures, was in the nature of
a wire lever upon the inside of the scale
balance, were also offered in evidence.
United States Weigher Thomas D. Hyatt
identified a small piece of wire which he
said had been taken from a stanchion of
the scale. He pointed out on the diagram
how the wires had been arranged. Two
carpenters employed on the sugar com
pany's docks identified certain wooden
blocks and other detached sections of the
scales. which they had cut out.
Mr.. Wyatt, during his cross-examination,
said he had made unexpected visits to the
docks where cargoes were being weighed
and had reweighed numerous truck loads
and checked up his figures with those
made by the assistant weigher in the scale
house. And did you ever, in that way.
arrive at any discrepancy in the figures?"
NO" replied the witness.
The lawyer for the defense asked the wit
ness about the wire device which he had
found attached to the the scales.
How large was the hole through which
the wire was stuck?" ne asked.
Hyatt said It was invisible without the
aid of a lighted match.
President w. B. Thomas of the American
Sugar company attended the afternoon ses-
sion of the trial, which was adjourned until
tomorrow.

being of such long standing that il

has he ever had such character
wrought into such a play for afford
ing continuous amusement and
thorough enjoyment as is the part he
is playing this season. He delighted
an audience last night that was not
as large as ii might have been. but
that WAS thoroughly appreciative
However. Mr.. Crane has been so long
at the business that il is not applause
that represents Ia him the summum
bonnm: in his rather charming cur
tain speech at the end of the third act
last night he couldn't resist a refer
ence Ia the fact that there were
good many empty seats in the house
But he won the hearty applause of
men and women who have not APP
plauded before in years. He thawed
out a Missoula audience until il WAS
as warm as Il group of those who sit

Crane has a capable company and Mr..
