Defendant, And Tells What fie Tntends to Prove Concerning Juke Rehm. . Distiller Miller Tells of His Deal- ings with Hesing and - Rehm, - Heo Paid the Latter $25,000 in All---His Understand- ing About Munn. His Partner and Bookkeeper Also Appear on the Stande-= Profits of the Estaba lishment. Anton Junker Also Relates How He Was Bled by Rehm. THE ARGUMENTS. COL. INGERSOLL COXCLUDES. ‘The Munn trinl was resumed yesterday motn- ing at 10 o’clock, The Hon. J. R. Doolittle tock his seat near the defendant, while the latter’s brother sat at an adjoining . table and took ex- hanstive notes of everything said. The attend- ance was somewhat larger and more discriminat- inginits characterthan thatof the previons day, the publications in the morning papers hav- ing called public attention to the trial, and served to reawaken the interest in this, so far, most important of the whisky prosecutions: Col Ingersoll commenced a few minutes after 10. It was a surprise to him why Mr. Ayer ‘went so fully into the description of distilleries, the duties of Government officers, etc., when Mr. Ayer said he had clear, positive proof of bribery. He was surprised until he heard who the chief witness was, MR, JACOB REHM. Something was needed to back up his testimony, and therefore they lugged fn every conceivable thing. The Government was unfortunate in having such a witness. They scorned him while they used him. It would be shown that while Joke Rehm was Chief of Police be accepted ‘bribes; that he blackmailed the thieves, the gamblers, the prostitutes; that he levied a tax upon gonorrhea and a toll upon-syphillis. He was the very best man in the city to start the ‘Whisky-Ring, ‘because he knew 2ll about the business. And yet the Goverhment would uphold him, and ask that he be believed. Could 2 man do this and still be believed and trusted ? Distillers, Government officers, everybody who went Into the crooked business, had to swear to {alse reports, to make false oaths. Wonld any- Dbody believe that a man who would fire snother to swear falsely would not swear to alie him- self? It was a humiliating spectacle for the ‘Attorney of the United States to bring such a itness upon the stand. Purity should keep better company. ; M. Jacob Réhm, on probably the only honest mission_be was ever engaged in iu his life, and that existing only in the mind of thie Govern- ment counsel, ~went. to Irvin and sald the stealin, at Blackhawk must be stopped. _Jake sent another Gauger around, and the stealing. was stopped. ‘ In a few daya Réhm came to Irvin and said that the Black- hawk folks wanted to run wide open, and would him $500 & month for being allowed to do so. isciple of honesty one dsy, a thief another day! The people paid thelr money, 2nd.they took their choice. According to Ayer, Rehm went into the business, sgreeing to give lruin ome-balf, Bridges one-fourth, and-Munn one-fourth. The strangest part abont it wasthat - ¢ REHM MADE NO ALLOWANCE FOR HIMSELF, no _ provision to keep o single cent. Was such @ thing at all _prolable? Way should the distillers fix uwp their houses when Mung was coming, if Munn was in the con- spiracy? If there had been any agreement in ros- cality they never would have been unwilling to meet ope_ another. They eaid Munn_ staid and went to trial because he wss guiity, and they also sni¢ that Bridges ran away becanee he was guilty, This was another beantifal example of Govern- ment logic. Mr. Jacob Rehm swore to the corrup- tion of Irvin and Bridges, becanse one was dead and the other out of the country. If any one should come on the stand to_corrgborate him, it was_because Mr. Jacob Rebm had his claw upon him. After the jury hid found out the mon, learned all be bad to say, ‘then it would be for them to 8oy whether they conld be- lieve his testimony. It would be shown by com- petent witncases that Rehm had eaid, before he was orrcated, that Munn was not conzected with the ring, and that there was no need of his being in the ring, because they conld get along iwithout him. Frauds conld be perpetrated through the Collector and the Gangerand Storckeepers, and there was no need of approaching the Supervisor. 1t woaia be shown that Ar. Munn had employed men to ‘WATCH THESE DISTILLERIES, and when he sent in his bills forhelpto the Depart- ment 8t Washington they were throwm out, and he ‘was told that this was nota part of hisduty. And afterwards the Government ent on 6ixty men, who Teze obliged to watehund wait for weeks before they conld discover anything crooked. - Then they seized four bouses. Thatwas not enough. Blgger me was wonted. M. Jpcob Rehm was employed y the Government to furpish evidence against them, and paid off with an understsnding that he should have immunity. There never was a Govern- ment mean enough to take mumleuumnny of 8 man and then turn and vend the og they had used. It .wonld also De shown that when Munn ,was tarped omt it was an excellent joke to Mr. Jacob Rehm that the only innocent man in the whole business should get the first bounce. BEFORE THE OCTOBER GRAND JURY this man, as wonld be shown, swore Ife knew of no ribery or corruption, no crooked whisky, or any- thing else, The Government might account for thls by the time of the yenr—that a man, ‘might not know anything in the fall of the year, but would be 2 most intelligent, excellent withess in the lgflng. Afr. Jacob Rehm must be corroborated by .an honest man and not by a thief or briber, a corrupter of men. The defendant, by the impolicy of the, law, conld not open hismouth. Col rsoll was 8ta 088 to know why such a law was ever enacted. Ttwaos & part of the heritage of supertition, and “ignorance, and they had got 1.~ Mr. - Jacob Rehm. could put aay words he chose into the month of the Gofenda were closely sealed. The jury must do the defendant’s talking for him. _He could not speak. The evidence of a scoundrel could not stand agafnat the SILENY EVIDENCE OF AN HONEST MAN. - In very solitary instances when the evidence was capable of contradiction the defense would contra- dict it by direct testimony, and if it was not capable of contradiction because the wif had failed to state the circumstances so that they could be con- tradicted, the defense wonld prove its unworthi- ness by the character of the Government witnesses themselves, When the Government of the United States went into partnership with & confessed thief, what was character worth? The Government wounld say it was worth nothing, that the best men had fallen, and that this was an era of corruption. He admitted it, and was in favor of stoppiug it. But the way to top it was to let no gfi ty man escape, and not to convict innocent men. 1t was the pecaliarity of thieves tospend their ill- Efll&en edm'f 'Xt'hhe thief gentmllflfo!fle idsn that e needed » fast horse, o8 jon dawned apon Bim that his wife was ot guite. a8 oz 8 woman as he ought to have [anghter], aad be didu't feel quite as gullty when Hs méney was gone. Col.

THE FIRST WITNESS. : ‘At the conclusfon of Col. Ingersoll’s remarka Mr. Ayer offered in evidence the published regu- * lations of the department on the tax on distilled spirits and the dutfes of officers, and the com- : mission jssued to Mr. Munn as Supervisor of In- | ternal Revenue. All of thesa the défense ad- mitted. " i " The Court then called for the - testfmony, and Mr. Ayer proceeded to lny open the case. 1 ' George Miller was the first Government wit- ness. Heis a small man, squarely buoilt, with sandy hair, moustache, and goatee.. He ap- peared very modest and self-possessed. Mlr. « Ayer conducted the direct examination. 1 have resided here eighteen years, and since 1871 have been-engaged in the distilling bosi- ness at the Lake Shore, foot of Twenty-scventh street. Before Nov. 1, 1872, it was the South- Side Distilling Company. John H. McAvoy was with me then. Afterwards A. C. Hesing and Aungust Newhaus were taken {n. I bonght Mo Avoy out, gave my notes for $30,000, which Mr. . Hesing agreed to indorse, aud for which he was to recelve one-fourth of the profits. 3McAvoy's interest was two-thirds, and n’;ine one-third. > NEWHAUS was o Storekeeper on duty there at the time. His Interest in the new concern was one-fourth, mine one-half. Newhaus contributed $2,000 for eight or ten days, but I gave ¢t back ta him. Hesing contributed = pothing. New- haus had come . to me and said the other Thouses were dividing with d 82id he wanted to make some money. I said Idid, too, snd the change was fixed up. Wo paid Rehm $500 a month to bave Newhana retained as Storekeeper. Hesing conducted the . negotiations. We paid Rehm 8300 for six or sevex months., Then I toid Hesing 1 wounld .rather pay the money to Rehm direct. I took it down and Rehm raized the price 10 $800. We paid this every * month from 1872 to ng‘,mlm, and they n(sedra 3 subsequently to §l, $1,500. I first paid the money at the Malt Company’i office, d _sfterwards at Rehm's ~office an in the City-Hall. _These ts wert made for getting suzh Storekee) tzmnnger! a I wonted and for protection. en I desired any changes in Gaugera'and Storekeepers T 'WENT TO RRUM AND EE PIXED IT. He would notify me when snybody wwas coming from Washington, sending a notice by a policeman. * T have one of the notices now. The notice was prodnced. It was written on or dinary Jetter-paper and placed within a blae en- velope. The note read: s o4 Sewell ja bere. See others. 3r. Miller (contin: handwris ' Rehm's. Gen. Sewell was not a local officer. Rehm gaid on one occaslon, whenIpald him §1.- that I ought to make it $1.500.as he had to di-" )~ 000, g vide it in three g;m.and $1,000 wasn't hand: 1 #aid I'd make it $1,500 next time. Once he eai that Bridges hadn't been dealing fulrly with Muan, but that it wss all fixed then. Yonce saw Mnnn in Rehm's office, but he did not see Behm - them. ‘Newhous afterwards went out of the firm and Hes- ing snd H. C. Fredericks bought his interest. Hesing was in til May, 1875, when Fredericks hought his interest. We mashed more grain than was reported, and used duplicate stamps. We paid some Gaugers $3 2 barrel, o eometimes by the month. We dealt with George S. Crosby, Parker R. Mason, and Golsen & Eastman. Crosby is in Europe, and Newhaus in Capada. We sold for 15 centa s gallon less than the market price to thore rectifiers, and they returned na the stamps, which we nzed azuin, MUNS CAME TO OUR PLACE, Dbut T never saw him there. Hesing was pald $30, - o ££0, 000 for'his share of theprofits. 1 think all the distillerles were in except one, and they all bad a similar understanding with Mr. Rebm. The question as to what Hesing told Miller Rehm Qid with the money was objected to. but fnaliy allowed, the Government stipulating that the con- spiracy would be further proved by other wit- Desses, AMr. 3Miller, continuing: T think Hesing told mo that the money w7e poid was fo fix Irvinall right. CROSS-BEXAMINATION. By Chl. Ingersoll—I talked with Rehm nearly every day afier the first six or seven months. By a suitable Gauger and Storekeeper I mean oficers who would sesfst me in getting rid of paying the tax. Ipresumed they had to make sworn reports every day and every month. I did not keep sn ac- count of the grein, the meal, or the malt. ~ Idon°t remember ever swearing to these accounts. Ihed others do ft. I don't remember tbat it occarred to me that it was dishonest, for the Gauger and Storc- keeper to do this. Don't recollect thinking whether it was honest to pay Rehm and Irvin of not. 1 supposed somcbody mizht come who had different notlons about right and wrong from mige, and, therefore, I got the notices {rom Rehm. Wa cleared everything 2p ‘and strangers could see that it was all regular. The Gouger and Storckeeper knew what to a3y, snd wo weren't afraid of visitors. We pald the $500 a month for this safe- ty and fhis sercnity of mind. I think we PAID REHM ALTOGETHER ABOUT . T have no detailed acconnt. I first paid Hesing in December, 1872, and paid Rehm the laat time abont the 3d of May, 1875,~—when I paid him £2.000. He did ot Aoy that was an unhandy sum. Iwsd indicted last fall sometime, I think. I bave not Deen tried. I pleaded guilty some time in January. Itmade &n impression on my miad, but I can's Tecollect the date. I made up my mind 1o take up the Government side last December. I came inta the fold before Jacob Rehm. Iam’ stlil nnsettiid da to whether |¢ was right of wrong for the Gaug ers and Storekeepers, Rehm, Irvin, and myself, & dowhat we did. HENRY C. FREDERICKS. HI3 CONNECTION WITH THE LAKE SHORE. Henry C. Fredericks next took the stand. Ha is & young, neatly-dressed man, and was thore oughly self-possessed. His testimony was as fol- lows: 1 have resided here siuce 185l My conneor tion with the Lake Shore commenced Moy 3, 1874. 1 have been there ever since. Befors that I was with George Miller, "the business being under his name. Iwasa bookkeeper and general clerk, and bought one-balf of Newhaus® interest. Hesing and Miller were the other prietors. ‘The profits per month were be= tween $1,500 and $3,000, and ‘were divided be tween Hesing and Miller. 1paid Rehm $1,508 on one octasion, when Miller was out of town. 1 took it to Rehm’s office, 1aid it on ‘the desk, and he pat it in 2 pigeon-hole. He seemed to understand what it was for—protection. A part of the profits were regularly set apart for Rehm. 1 delivered several sums of $500 each to Hesing for Rehm. ‘I saw notices that Rehm sent up when somebody was coming.. The object waa towarnus to straighten up, We commenced gumng in extra in about Nov. 1, 1872 tamps were fixed so they could easily be taken used again. . We dealt. off, sent back to us, and’ with Golsen & Eastman, George L. Crosby, and SomAeE oot abghe regalin ket prict, an straig] at the market price, an the crooked goods at 15 cents below. I re ‘member ¥ MUNN MADE US POUR VISITS. ‘Wadsworth was with him once, Irwin anothev time, and & deputy at anotber. ~ I dv not know what was done with the money paid to Rehm. All the Storekeepers and Gaugers, with the ex- ception of the fl.l*mnn, were cognizanz of the fllfcit -business. The total sum, as near as I can tell, paid to Rehm out of ‘the establish~ ment was about $25,000 to ,000, On one occasion Monn visited the distillery and found fhe Storekeeper’s book had_not been writtea up a4 required by law, Munn called my attention 10 this fact, saying that 0 far as he Waa concerned §t was all right, but if any one should come from Wasl and investigate, there might be trouble. I called upon Rhem about this mattersubscquently, but Fot po satisfaction, and afterwards went to sce lesing, who said that he thonght Munn waos sil right. 1 bought Hesing's interestin the distillery in May, 1875, for 85, syinghim with 8 check. [The check was P and identified by tbe witnese. } CROSS-EXAMINED. Mr. Ingersoll—1 occasionally made reports which Iswore to.. 1did not awear tothe truth. Ican' tell how many lies we swore to. I bad an {dea this was wrong. 1 didn't consider it an osth, for it was mumbled over, and that waa all of it. o Col. Inge Was the part at the end, ‘‘so help me God,” mumbled? Witness—I beileve sa. Ingersoll—Yon were not in necd of His hel then; you relied on Gaugers and Storekeepers! Witaess—Yes, sir.
