8 CONGRESSIONAL PENSION SLIPS Commissioner Kaum Tells How They Were Used by Mr. Cooper's Secretary. A FIRM OF ATTORNEYS COULD SECURE PROMPT D> COMPLETE INFORMATION OF THE STATUS OF PENSION CLAIMS—RESULT OF & CAREFUL INVESTIGATION BY SPECIAL AGENTS. A question asked by Mr. Enloe in the Raum investigation, as stated in yesterday's Stan, led to the bringing out of some information from Mr. Raum which was of a decidedly sen- ational character. Mr. Raum was being ex- amined by Mr. Enloe and in reply tos ques- tion the witness said that the pension office refused to permit attorneys and claimants to examine pension papers to ascertain what evi- dence was needed to make good their claims. Asncourtesy to members of the House and Senate, under a leng standing practice of the the private secretaries of Representa- 4 Senators were given that privilege. Mr. Enloe—As the attorney himself cannot obtain the information which might be very valuable, could be not afford to pay a members elerk for it? : ‘Mr. Payson—On the face of it that is a mat- ter of inference, end your judgment is es good es Mr. Ram's. Mr. Enloe retorted that he proposed to show it was more than inference and then asked: “Do you know about any clerk of a member of Con- Gress or an attorney getting such information and furnishing it to pension attorneys through out the country and receiving pay for it? REPRESENTATIVE COOPER'S PRIVATE SECRETARY. ‘This question. to the surprise of the whole eommitiee, sprung a decided sensation. The commissioner evidently had been preparing for fost such an inquiry, for he had on the table Rear him « buge bundle of papers in the form Of affidavits, letters and reports. Keplving to Mr. Enloe’s question he said that he knew of such a case and the man was Samuel R. Hersey, wate secretary to Kepresentative Cooper of Feces, one of the prosecutors in the case. ‘There were perhaps « thousand pension cases ail over the northwest in which Hersey was in- volved. Mr. Payson said that it was on this matter that Mr. Lineaweaver, whose absenci bas been frequently inquired about, had been engaged. the papers relating to the affair were offered faevidence by Mr. Raum, but have not yet been admitted in evidence, the committes de- siring to examine them and pass upon the mat- ter. The substance of them is covered in a letter from the commissioner to the Secretary ef the Interior, dated April 5, recommending Hersey's disbarment. JOHN BR. WHITTINGHILE’s casE. In effect the letter shows that on February ‘1&5 last a report was received from J. G. Green- walt, asupervising special examiner of the pension office, with reference to a complaint received from John R. Whittinghill of Croth- ersville, Ind., and formerly in the ninth Ken- sucky volunteers. In this complaint Whitting- bill said that he had received a letter from C. L. Hagan & Co. of Kenton, Obie, saying that for $3 he would furnish Whittingiiil the exact status of bis claim and the testimony necessary in it, Whittinghill asked if it were a fraud, and if Ragan could furnish the information why could not he (Whittinghill) get it from the Pension office without expense. The papers show that on September 16 of lust year the commissioner wrote Whittinghill saying that he was not advised upon what method Ragan & Co. were working the pension office and asked him to forward 23 to the firm. for which the pension ofice would reimburse him and request a statue This was done, and on November 19 Whittinghill received a reply giv- tng him as full and accurate a statement of his claim as if the man had had the papers before him. Meanwhile the case bad been put aside toascertain what would come of it, end it turned out that on November 11 the papers in the caso were called for by Hersey upon a cou- gressional slip of Kepresentative Cooper of Tndiana. ‘The commissloner's letter said that be could not know that this was any more than @ coincidence and could not determine whether there was any connection between Ragan and the Cooper slip. THE CLAIM OF HENRY BEURENS. So on November 28 Whittinghill was re- quested to correspond with Ragan & Co. rela- tive to the claim of Henry Behrens of the ninth Ohio infantry, the claim having been selected at random. On December 22 the claim was called up by Hersey on a congressional slip of ‘Mr. Cooper and was carefully examined Febru- ary 6, 1802. Ragan, writing from Chicago, for- warded a “status” of the claim. In the meantime the commissioner had re- ceived a letter, dated December 22, 189, from ex-Kepresentative Williams of Ohio, calling at- tention to the fact that certain Olio pension ttorneys were having their cases cailed up for tus and reported upon by Hersey on Mr. Cooper's congressional slips. ‘The matter was laced in Greenwalt’s hands and he obtained Kies the case in which Hagan hed formerly worked a letter-press book containing thirteen copies of letters relating to claims. One letter ve w complete status of the claims of Mrs. Elzabeth Mottatt, of Elizabethtown, Ind, ealled up October 7, 1891, on Mr. Cooper's con- gressional slip. HOW THE MATTER WAS WORKED. At Greenwalt's request Lineaweaver was as- signed toassist him. In Ohio he took the depositions of F. P. Cunningham, George C. Canfield, John F. Armstrong and D. F. Darst; he also took those of John F. Morgan of Bloom- ington, Ind. These papers, the commission- er'sletter said, showed that Hersey secured information on pension claims through Peet, and that Pectand Hersey were brought to- gether by Cooper, Peet having been a clerk under Mr. Cooper when the latter was post- master of Columbus. Peet was related to Cooper by marriage and was the contidential man and chief clerk of Marring & Slusher, Pension attorneys. Peet furnished Greenwalt With several original letter Hersey giving reports of ‘The plan was, the commissioner's letter said, that Ragan wrote to pension attorneys ‘and claimants and secured the business and for- warded it to Peet, who, in turn, corresponded with Hersey, who used the slips of Cooper and other members of Congress, whom he repre- sented as their clerk. Hersey drew the cases end ascertained their status, and the fees divided between Hersey, Peet and Ragan. INTRODUCED BY COOPER ‘The deposition of Jas. P. Morgan of Bloom- ington, Ind., shows that he was taken to Her- wey's office by Mr. Cooper and introduced to Hersey and informed that if he had “anything Worth paying for Hersey will attend to it for you.” Morgan testified that after his return home be wrote to Cooper forwarding a list of twenty-five cases in which he desired their status, the letter closing: “Iwill pay such com- Pensation as is proper for the status of these claims. I would have written to Hersey, but I did not get his address.” This letter, the commissioner says, was turned over to Hersey. who acknowledged its Receipt, and February 18, 1892, forwarded a statement of the status of ‘a number of claims ‘and wrote: “If you can state what you can con- sider a reasonable amount per claim for such service I shall be glad to correspond with you further with « view to our mutual interest. For the stateme: Inowsend you you may emit what you think is @ fair compensation for the labor involved.” Subsequently €1 per elaim was agreed upon. ‘THE MONEY RETURNED. Morgan states that after receiving Hersey’s Jetter he wrote to Cooper and remitted. March 6 Morgan received a letter from Hersey asking for a settioment and closing by saying that he desired to impress the fact that the informa. tion was to be treated as confidential. Mr. testified that on March 11 Cooper kind of work. He is im my service and ‘as my seccetary that the work can be you. I have called up thousands of and ‘have always done it cheerfully, but for that work—not even « postage p, and 1 shall not, therefore, allow you to Poy sything for that service. “It is not right. 't is s buruing shame that the office, with 2,000 employes, cannot or will not carry on the necessary correspondence with claimants and their attorneys. However that may be I am clear that I ought not to allow you to pay Mr. Hersey anything while he is in my service. oe done in an is done in ‘the line of my duty, so to be re; 1 will do the best I can for your pocmare not for pay.

Before closing the letter called attention to another matter, namely, a letter received some months ago from Henry Holt of Indianapolis stating that Marring, Slusher & Co., early in 1889, had had printed about 20,000 congres- sional slips made in imitation of pension office congressional call slips, on which was a fac simile of the signature of Mr. Cooper, printed with his consent and approval. The letter also said that in 1889 these calls from Marrmg and Slusher on Mr. Cooper's slips became so nurher- ‘ous that Gen. Black directed they be thrown in the waste basket. Under Commissioner Tanner about 3,000 of them were received, and Mr. Tanner that Marring and Slusher using the slips. REPRESENTED OTHER MEMBERS. After Mr. Raum had stated something as to what was in these papers (they not having been read to the committee) several questions were asked about them, and Mr. Enloe inquired if Hersey represented himeelf to be the employe of any member of Congress besides Mr. Cooper. The commissioner said yes; that Hersey also said he was the private secretary of Mr. Brook- shire of Indiana and Mr. Gantz of Ohio. Mr. Enloe asked next how it was that the examiner bad looked into only the matter of the cases of Mr. Cooper, one of the prosecutors of the in- vestigation. The commissioner said his atten- tion been ially called to Mr. Cooper's slips by Mr. Whittinghill and ex-Representa- tive Williama He had received no evidence such ashe had in Mr. Cooper's case that Her- sey was using the slips of Messrs. Brookshire and Gantz in an improper way. To Mr. Dungan Mr. Raum admitted that he had heard of Hersey’s doings some time ago, but said he had only recently secured all the evidence. ‘Mr. Payson said the papers showed an abuse of the congressional privilege and he thought it the duty of Congress to prohibit members of Congress from using congressional sips in the y they did. he hearing then closed, as Mr. Payson had to attend an argument in court. p Chairman Wheeler, after the hearing, said he thought the investigation would have one good effect in doing away with congressional interference with the pension office work. He thought Congress was responsible during the session for an expense of about $1,000 a day in running the pension office. ———— ee NEWS FROM ROCKVILLE. Interest In the Rond Murder Trial—Appoint- ments by County Commissioners. Correspundence of The Evening Star. Rockvinie, April 6, 1892. ‘This morning interest in the trial of Wm. Bond for the murder of Margaret Cephas had not abated in the least,and upon the opening of court the room was again crowded. The evi- dence of the several witnesses examined today was corroborative of that given yesterday. The evidence of the physician who attended the inquest, which was given yesterday and in which the theory was advanced that the woman might have died from the effects of an epileptic fit, was combated by the persons who had raised her end who testified that she was never known to be afilicted in that way and also by expert medical testimony that the condition of the body after death led to the conclusion “that she bad been suffocated by the forcible appli- cation of her shawl or some other portion of her clothing to her mouth. It was also in_evi- dence that when the body was found the limbs were extended at length and the outer clothing pulled down to the feet, although the umder- garments were considerably torn. Persons who prepared the body for burial also testified that there were distinct marks of violence upon her throat. At the conclu- sion of the evidence for the state the defense declined to call any witnesses, and after argu- ment by the counsel for the prisoner and state the case was submitted to the court, who will render their verdict tomorrow morning. It is the general impression that the prisoner will be convicted. Yesterday Mr. Clarence A.Packard,one of the contractors engaged in grading for the new track of the Metropolitan Branch railroad be- tween here and Kensington, came here and caused the arrest of nine'of the colored laborers in his employ on the charge of rioting and carrying concealed weapons. They were brought here Inst night and lodged in jail and had a hearing before Justice Morgan today. Five of the number were re- leased upon the withdrawal of the charges, two paid the fine imposed on them and two were sent back to jail for non-payment of the same. ‘The county commissioners today made the following appointments: Collectors of taxe«— first district, James W.

School teachers reported that ragged little urchins came to them with their contributions of pen- nies for the relief of the starving Russians.

The eleventh annual session of the Grand Commandery of the United Order of the Golden Cross was begun last evening at Golden | Cross Hall southeast, Grand Commander John N. Ehle presiding. The following past noble commanders were introduced and received the fourth degree: Hervey 8. Knight of Goodwill; W. 8 Stetson and Mra Mary R. Stetson of Haleyon; D. W. Keck and Mrs. Mary A. Keck of Moridian; Frank E. Newton of Capital: W. H. H. Kesler of National; J. H. A. Fowler of Mount Vernon; H. N. Tolson, Geo. F. Pyles, Stephen Simonds, Thos. J. Putnam and Mrs. Mary R Cator of Anacostia; Mra, Emma A. Yates of Potomac: Dr. J. A. Dickinson of Columbia, THE GRAND COMMANDER'S REPORT. Grand Commander Ehle, in his report, re- views the work of the past and congratulates the order on the outlook for the future. After long and earnest effort the order in this jurie- diction has reached 1,000 members. One new commandery (Potomac) was instituted in De- canoe last with forty-three charter — @ occasion was made one of great interest from the fact that the three degrees were ren- dered entirely from memory by officers selected from sister commanderies. ‘This commandery is the tenth in this jurisdiction. RITUALISTIC WORK. In relation to the rendition of the third de- gree of the ritual by the officers of the subor- dinate commanderies during the visitations of the grand commandery last fall the grand com- mander says: “In & majority of the com- manderies this was accomplished without the use of the book and the accuracy and im- pressiveness with which it was done elicited well-merited praise from the large number of members present at each visitation.” The giving of prizes, a moderate initiation fee and an inercare of the per capita tax are recommended. He also recom- mends that the constitution of the grand commandery be so amended that only its elec- tive officers, members of its standing commit- tees, representatives to the supreme com- mandery, representatives from subordinate commanderies and all past grand commanders shall be entitled toa voice and vote, provided that all past noble commanders in this jurisdic- tion shall be entitied to seats and be eligible to any office or position ou committees, but not entitled to spenk or vote except in the election of officers. The report cloves with the hope that his successor will be able to do more and better than he nas done and returns thanks for the aid and support extended to him during his five years of service. OTHER REPORTS. The report of the grand commander was re- ferred to a special committee, consisting of Wm. H. Pope, Dr. 8, A. H. McKim and Mra. Martha J. Peabody, for distribution of the sev- eral subjects to the appropriate committees.
