torn up tracks and demolished work

with having defrauded the govern
ment of custom duties.
In his testimony he said Henry O..
Havemeyer, now dead, ordered him
to falsify his polariscope sugar tests
so that the company would not have
to pay so much for sugar to the
growers.
Sugar is purchased from the plant
ers on weight and grade. The trust"

ers by underweighing, Gerbracht
testified, SO they, reduced the grade
by fraud. The witness objected to
terming these low test "falsifca-
ton"
Gerbracht said.
I'VE took polariscopic tests at the
refinery, and another test was made
at the Wall street Offices. We made
the refinery tests as low as possible,
and some times the Wall street tests
were lover still. In these latter
cases we were forced to make our
figures lower. Merchants selling SUI
gar were paid on the basis lower than

When the sheriff had failed to

Many objections were raised by

Commuters between New England
