Nesbitt Testifies Next
C. II. Nesbitt, chief mine inspector,
was called to the stand. In answer to
q question by H. Y. Brooke witness
Testified that he had inspected the
scales at Banner mine February 20. and
that he had found the scales 20 per
cent under the correct weight. He said
that had the scales been correct the
output of Banner mine for the month
of February would have been 1902 tons
greater than the returns showed
Added to the output, the 90 per cent in
crease would have made 27,615 tons for the
month. For the following month, March.
after the scales had been corrected, the
output was 2I75S tons. practically the
same as the output for tile previous
month would have showed with correct
scales.
Inspector Nesbitt said that the 20 per
cent under weight as recorded by the
Banner scales would indicate that the
state had been losing approximately 20
per cent in the monthly receipts.
Examiner Brooke asked no further ques-
tions following Inspector Nesbitt's state
ment that the Banner scales We're 20
per cent under weight and that this incor
re ct weight affected the receipts to the
state to the extent of approximately 20
per cent.
For the month of February the state
had 314 convicts at Banner, and 3l9 dur
ing March.
Witness then explained in response NJ
questions from Major Steiner his duty
as mine inspector. He said that he Wis
tied all the mines where convicts were
| employed, though stated that his visits
! to some of the mines were as long as six
! months apart.
Referring again to the scales at Pam
her mines. witness said, in reply to d
question, that the scales had probably
been set 20 per cent underweight pur-
posely. He did not know who had been
responsible
| Witness said the fact that the scales
| were 20 per cent underweight naturally
! increased the task of the miners 20 per
! cent This worked as an advantage to

vantage of the state. 1t req1ired convicts

THE COLD TRUTH.

A kind word, smile. a hearty
hand shake, easy to give and al
ways appreciated, yet mighty hard
to get out of most people.
We have in every community the
man who has the same mission in
life as has the grasshopper; to eat
what he doesn't earn and destroy
the fruit of other peoples labor.
and what is worse, it is considered
bad taste to feed him arsenicated

somber tones, "a man by care distressed,

NEW YORK. oct. I2.-The police
have checked up the confessions made
by seven of the gang OF bomb throw
ers who were arrested Thursday. Fri
day, and Saturday. and are now in a
position to accuse the gang Of sixty
eight bomb-setting jobs. There are
plenty of other crimes charged
against the prisoners, such as e&tor-
tion burglary, feionious assault. arson,
and the federal authorities suspect
them of counterfeiting.
The gang is not new, according TO
the statement made today by one of
the detectives who has been working
on the case. one of the men has be-
lonGed to II for the last fourteen years,
and the gang Is held responsible for
many olltrages which were COM
mitted before the men who have con-
fessed Joined IL. The membership of
the gang was constantly changing;
when a member was killed, or sent to
Jail, or went back TO Italy with enough
money for the rest of his life. new
members were taken in. and the size
of the gang was kept about the same.
Profits Are Small.
The police estimated the profits Of
the gang today They sase lot large:
each member made probably less than
800 month.
IL the gang is responsible for eighty
bomb outrages during the past year
and a half, which is a fair estimate.
the police do not believe more than
fifty OF them paid. and the others be-

not pay the. blackmali demanded, or
for petty revenge. SomAsof the bombs
