The latter part of tho whisky investigations procoeds alowly. Tho jurors are no doubt anx- iona to go home, yet thoy linger along, measuring carefully their paco with tha amount of work to bo accomplished, so that their four weecks will probably be fully consumed befora a final ad- journment, Yesterday they took a leisurety sur- voy, 80 far a8 thuy wero able, of the condition and conduct of the Milan Distillery, which, 1t will bo remembered, waa eeizod laat weelk Mon- day. This cstablishment in owned and operated by Jrcob Froisinger, and is located in the Vil- lage of Mitan, 4 milea from Rock Island. It is not a very bugo concern, kaving a capacity of €0 bushels, yet it wonld scom to bave done its lititlo share in defraud- jng tho Covernmont of rovenue. Not long ago aesesanicnts wers mado upou all tho distil- leries fu this dintrict, based npon the amount of taxea supposod to Lave remaized un- paid. In theso asseesments tho bamo of Jucob Frelsinger was sob down for the com- fortuble sum of %226,200, which shows that the Govorutapnt officials did not have an abiding fuith in Jacob's voracity as to the metter of making returns, Whon tho amount of tho as- sessmunt was annonuced to him, Jacob opencd his uyes and uttered a basty ejaculation {u his nativo tougue. But thero was nothing for him to do oxcopt to pay or relinquish businoss. Ho got over & good deal of territory lo 8 vory few days, attempting to secure ouough money to pay up, but was une succoasful, He therefora resigned orrowfully, and bis moch-loved distitlery was scized. As ho was oithor unablo or uuwilling to reimburse tue wum of which ho Liad defrauded the Govern- mont, there was ouly ono courso left for tho lat- :cr to tako, and tha¢ was to prosecute hium crim- ualiy.

The Milwaukeo correspondont of Tue Tnincxe, ina lotter prblishod yesterday, gave District- Attorney McKonny the benefit of Lis statemont that the evidence workod np by the Secrot Sor- vice Dopartment, whilo valaabie as far aa it went, did not go far enough to bo used in framlng the indictments in tho Milwaukeo cases or In trying tbe canos of the fndictod partioa. Two instances of this alleged defectivences were aidduced, all going to show that tho caso had only boen par- tislly worked up, and that tho Governmont had yrocooded to ecize cortain houses with the evi- dence againgt them too weak to bear luspection in court, + A TmpcsE reportor yeatorday mado inquiries amoug soveral Governmont officials in thid city, inctuding the Assistant Chief of tho Scerot ber- wico, and learned that the Governmont bad EXOTON TESTI¥ONY upon which to framo the indictinents, and to 4ry the cases, but that, for some reasou or other, tlio Becret Servico agonts wero not ealied upon to produce it.

When tha detective aworo Lo saw 100 barrels removed from a certain distillery during s certatn wook, when tho distiller's ropott indicatpd only flfiy, the distiller swore by all that was boly that i otber fifty barrols wore taken from the store- house. The statoment wes made that the Gove croment had fo testimony to coutrovort this ev- idenco. Tho other silegation mado in the dis- {»a'.ch was thot that the detective could not pos- tively swear that tho barrels contained whisky, THE RISULT of tho reporter’s juvestigations was that tho Government did kavo the ovidence to coutrovert Duth theso apparently plausibie statoments put forth by the dintulows, and referred to by Me- Kenny am weak points in the Goverument's cases. The reportor learnea that Becrot Korvico Agout Brooks vas propared to provo in open court that for & certain timo 400 barrels had been received from s cortain distillery nud only 200 repurted to the Goverument ss producod, and that distillers could not squirm out of this cilemma on auy plos that the othor 210 had boon takon from 'n storehouse. Mr. lirooks bad mes of look experience In his omploy, snd gave tho cobtiro matter lis persousl supervision, watehing the distillers tnukiug romovals, pud kuowing, thorefore, from the ovidence of personal obucrvation, that lig sssertions were woil cutablished. ‘To be sure, Mr. Brooks did ot put his finger in the bung-oio of ovory barrel to cnablo him to taaw tho contouts to seo if they contaiued spirits, 'The fact that they did contain spirits was na?nblu of proof, inasmuch aa thoe stumps wero found on thoss barrels undestroyod,— whereas if thoy had contained wator, as tuo die- tillers world probably try to prove, there would havo boon no necesssty for the stamps at all.
