 lEFRAUDED
 GOVERNMENT
Jury Finds American Sugar Refining Company Guilty of Tampering
 With Scales.

New York, March 6.-The American Sugar Refining Company yesterday
 was found guilty of fraud in the weighing of sugar for import duty by a jury before Judge Holt in the United States District Court. The Federal Government was sustained by the jury on every point raised and s134116. .O3 was awarded, the total asked for in the complaint.
 The case followed a raid by United States customs agents on Brooklyn piers of the Sugar Refining company This raid was in November, 1907, and weighing machines on the piers were seized. It was alleged these scales were manipulated so that the sugar was weighed light At the trial it was testified that in the woodwork of each set of scales there was a small hole through which a steel wire was drop ped on the balance bar. Witnesses testified the scales were tempered with in other ways. All this testimony was denied by the witnesses for the de- fense. A motion for a new trial by counsel for the company, on the ground that the weight of evidence did not justify the verdict, was denied by Judge Holt. The case probably will be appealed.
 The verdict, if it stands, means the practical forfeiture of the specific packageS of sugar of which the Gov ernment alleged there had been frau dulent weighing. In his charge to the jury Judge Holt made this point clear.

Krishnavarma is the most influential representative of the militant element among the anti-English type of natives and his open statement that "consti- tuted as human beings. are such con- tingencies.' .''-the reference is to the murder several days ago by Hindoo fanatics of two English women-"can- not be effectually avoided is taken as an assurance that there is to be no relaxation in che campaign of assas- sfnation the Terrorists have been wag- ing for more than a year.
