The investigation was, how- ever, continued, and the Collector of Internal Reyenuo became sa{lefled that all was not right, Subsequently he notitied Storokeopor Thompson to look into a barn near the promises, aa it was belloved thera was the placo where the principal part of the crooked operations waa carried on. Whilo engaged in this business, tho Btorokeoper being in tho barn, lis was joined by Mr, Tansmay, who asked him what he was looking for. Thompson frankly told him that he was soarching for anstampod whisky, No satisfactory result ensued, howorer, aud the officer wont away, but McKoone, who lives near tho distillery, continued to watch the establish- ment, and Philips, who had onco worked in a Brooklyn distillery, was very woll pro- pared to judge of the movoments in progress, ‘uo plan of overstions carried on by Tansman appears — to havo been this: At night # few gallons of bichwines would te drawn off from ouo of the tubs in juga or buckets sind carried to tho barn, whore it waa deposited in bsrrela in an underground cellar of not very largo dimeusions below the floor. Nothing was visiblo, however, except a largo piloof lay in the barn, which covcred the entrance to tho hole in the ground. The Store- Keeper haviug made his examintaion of tho piece, ‘Tonsman apparently became alarmed, and jetormined to remove the highwinos, fooling cortaln that, a8 tho officer wai imme. distely ovor the quantity of illicit tluid at that time, it would be proity certain to bs un- earthed at the vext investigation, On Sunday night an unsuccessful sttompt wsa mate to re- move thocrooked whisky, but, on Monday, it waa brought into the city and taken to a reotity- ing ostabliaument, This operation wan observed by Phillips aud McKoane, and while T'aneman was unlosding tho batsels, of which there wore fayen, McKesue advanced aud told him he was eanght, stating that @ revenue dotective from Chicago (Phillips), was at hand sud would fin- form the proper officors of what had takon place, Before be =had started = from the distillery Tansman ned received notice from Deputy-Collector Sommerville to repair to the reveoue oftice, and very natorally divinod shat he bad been detected in everything. After the mon Phillipa aod McKeove had vurprinod him, Tansmao offered to wettle the matter with them for @100, $300, and fiuatly &500, hut Phillipa refused, aud tho amount was at last made 21,000, for which acheck was drawn, Af- tor thie operation, Tanainan went to the office of Gen. Tillemau and mado clean breast of the wholo business to Capt. Sommorvillo, Ho waa at once informed that ho woul be protected from blackmail, but the whisky must bo turned ovor to the Government. No offort was made by Phithps or ScKoone to draw tho mouey, they having buried the chock in the ground for aafe keoplog. Thoy are hetd in $1,000 bonds on charge of porsouating revenue dotoctives.
