EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS ALLEGED
From Present Indications Frauds
Were Directed Toward Large
Ship Owners as Well as

NEW YORK, May 24-Although the gov
ernments star witness, oliver Splitter, the
former dockmaster who walked out of the
Atlanta penitentary, where he had been
sent after bossing for years the sugar
weighing frauds on the Williamsburg docks,
had most interesting story TO tell yes
terday, it is rot mainly on his evidence
that the government relies in its effort to
convict Charles r.. Heike, the American
Sugar Refining company's secretary, of
part in the conspiracy fraud. The veteran
sugar company employe indeed hardly
threw a single new ray OF light on the
trial that is claimed to lay in the direction
Of Heike's offices from the scene of the
frauds On the docks His testimony rather
had to do with James F. Bendernaegel,
the refinery cashier and Ernest f.. Ger
bacht, the superintendent, both of whom
are on trial with Heike, together with three
other former employees of the company
The government, it is believed, has not
yet shown its full hand against Heke
Little of the evidence has pointed directly
the way of the trust secretary AS the
highest up" man so far prosecuted, how
ever, the government is thought not to be
likely to neglect any point that might bear
against him. Further evidence regarding
his alleged part in or knowledge of the
! frauds Is expected, and today with Splitter,
it was believed might afford a good oppor-
tunity for presenting 1t.
WhRlIey ON stand.
| When Edward Whalley took the stand to
testify for the government at the opening
of the session, the president of the Ameri
can Sugar Refining company, w. b.
| Thomas, and one of the trusts directors,
| Dr. Samuel d. Hooker of Philadelphia
sat behind Heke.
| Whalley is a special treasury agent, who
was with the other investigators. ParI
and Brseezinski when the famous raid on
the sugar docks was made in 1907 and the
| fraudulent weighing devices were discov-
| cred.
| The governments contention that the
city wetghers' weights were employed In
the commercial calculations of the trust
and those of the government weighters
made use of only for payment of duties
was backed up by John A. Thompson fol
the last twenty-five years a bookkeepeI
in the company's Wall street offices.
George II. Becker, a clerk in the Wal
street offices, testified that the sugar trus
used the government weights quite otter
on which to pay the freight charges, bu
the ship owners became aware of the fac
and the practice was stopped.
This was the first testimony introduced
tending to show that the alleged frauds II
underweighing were not directed solely
against the government.
