been mulcted came in the form of a
double-barreled sensation, and when
the day had finished the self-confess-
ed ring leader, Henry c. Ostermann.
whose admission of guilt has gained
him immunity, still was in the midst
of his remarkable story.
The double sensation was sprung at
the opening of yesterdays session in
Judge Bruggemeyer's court, where the
preliminary hearing of Frank B. Har-
riman, Charles L. Ewing and John NJ
Taylor, former Illinois Central railroad
officials, is being conducted.
As "Go-Between."
A. c. Goodrich, 1882 East Forty-fifth
street, a former Illinois Central engi-
neer, now a consulting engineer, testi-
fed that he had acted as "go-between"
in the payment of $4,000 to the late
Ira G. Rawn, former Illinois Central
vice president and later president OF
the Monon. The second sensation came
in the follow-up testimony of Oster-
mann, who related in detail his alleg
ed completely in the frauds.
Revelations of Day.
Summed up briefly, the features of
the days hearing were:
A. c. Goodrich testified Frank B.
Hartman asked 20 take a sum OF
money from the Blue Island Car
company and bank it and draw his
(Goodrich's) personal checks for
persons he would name. These
a6
600, were exhibited in court. OF
this amount $4,000, he said, was
given to Ira G. Rawn.
Ostermann, on cross-examina-
tion, said he had not told Frank
B. Hartman nor William Hen
shaw that the bills of his company
were being padded or that improp-
er charges were being made
Osterman acknowledged that he
organized the Memphis Car COM
pany. The names of H. McCourt,
former general superintendent of
the southern lines of the Illinois
Central; w. S. King, general SUI
perintendent of the Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley branch; Joseph
Buker, Ira G.. Rawn and others
were named as those interested in
the concern
]. T. Harrahan, president of the
Illinois Central, nearly got WISE
to the car repair graft, according
to the testimony, and ordered an
investigation. Attorney Fisher at
tempted to show that Rawn
"clamped the lid on this inquiry
and satisfied his chief Court re-
fused to permit the witness to tes-
tify.

had to give up his attempt at Clinton,
Ill. Brookins reached the fair grounds
eight minutes before the station was
reached by the fast train. He made
the dip to alight at 4:27, making z
hours and II minutes the elapsed
time from the start at Chicago. The
actual flying time was hours and A
minutes for 192 miles. an average fly
ing rate OF 3S miles per hour.
Brookins found difficulties in alight-
ing because Of inadequate police
provisions at the fair grounds, and al
though he arrived over the grounds at
4:22, it was Ave minutes later before
he could land.
The crowd surged about him threat
ened to crush the curious bird ma
chine, until he had to make a personal
appeal to get the throng back.
"Just staying Up.7
When asked about the fight, he
said:
why, It was nothing, only staying
up, that's all. merely took time
more time than usual-and that's
about the only difference from the
practice flights. 1 knew 1 could make
it."
'Tt WAS one Of the prettiest flights
1 ever made. The country between Chi
cago and here is delightful. Every
where I was flying low enough-and
went as low as 800 feet several
times-I could see people staring up
at me from every acre almost. There
must have been three-fourths of a mil
lion looking up at me-"
Wilbur wright's Comment.
Wilbur Wright's only comment was,
las the woman said, I told you so.' "
Later Wright said: Il think that this
plane is a successful navigator Of the |
air."
The officers of the state fair asso-
citation were jubilant over the success
Of the flight. Only water, oil and gas
oline stood between Brookins and a |
continuous, sustained fight between
and Springfield.
Never was there a prettier race, say |
those who witnessed part of it, than |
that between the special flyer Of the
Illinois Central, which attempted to
beat the airman and the steady flyer
which kept above, always close by. |
Two engines were put on, each run
1ing one-half the distance, but neither
was ahead when the stops were made.
