Secretary and Superintendent of
American Refining Company
So Declared.
CRIME DISCOVERED in 1907
Robbed Government by the Use
of Short Weighing Scales
for Imports.

NEW YORK, June 11.-Charles R.
Heike, secretary of the American Sugar
Refining Company, and G. w. Ger
bracht, formerly general superintendent
of. the same company, were yesterday
found guilty of defrauding the govern
ment through the use of fraudulent
scales in the Brooklyn scale house,
where foreign sugars were entered and
checked up for customs purposes. Their
trials began on May II, the cases 60
ing to the jury late yesterday after
noon. Last night the verdict of guilty
as charged was returned.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1910-06-14

The charges against the sugar trust
officials were based on information
given the government by Richard Parr,
a government employe in the Brooklyn
scale house. Acting on his informa-
tion of crookedness, raid was made
by customs officials in November, 1907.
The raid exposed the manner in which
the government was being systematic
ally robbed and number of arrests
were subsequently made. The com
pany refunded an enormous sum to the
government to cover the loss in Gus
toms revenue and, on the basis of this
refund, Heike and the other officials
pleaded immunity. Their plea went un-
needed, however, and he and five other
officials faced a judge and jury.
One of the principal witnesses for
the government was t. D. Hyatt,
known among the weighers as "the
square weigher,'' because he refused
to take part in the frauds. His appear
ance in the weighing house, it was
stated in evidence, used to be an
nounced by the ringing of bell, the
signal for hiding the fraudulent de-
vices by which the underweighing was
accomplished.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1910-06-14
Springs In scales7

Hyatt described the raid on the scale
houses by Government Agents Parr and
Brezinski in November, 1907, and
identified piece of metal similar to
corset steel which Parr claimed to
have found concealed within the scales.
Hyatt, who was summoned to the
docks on the day of the raid, said the
action of the spring, introduced
through a hole in the scale stanchion,
retarded the action of the scale and
made it weigh less. Sixteen out of
seventeen scales, Hyatt said, contained
the holes described
Hyatt illustrated how the checker
would press downward on the steel de-
vice, thus causing loss of about eight
notches, or sixteen pounds, when a
draft of three bags of sugar was being
weighed.
