The constant drain | expressed the conditions correctly. As stated of Assistant Attorney General Colb: Clerk MeCuaig was devoted to s fur:her consid- eration of the facts already gone over. Secretary Morton came into Mr. McCusig’ oom and remained there for some time as an interested witness, though he did not take «| very active part in the hearing. He happened | to be present when Gen. Colby was questioning | Hopfenmaier, the junk dealer who bought the articles from Capt. Brannon that were said to | have been stolen from the weather bureau. Hopfermaier made a very good impression at | the hearing, although he seemed very much averse to” the publicity this case has Drought him. He insisted that if the goods | were stolen be had no reason to believe | it. Part of his business was the purchase of | condemned property from the government de- nts and he supposed that all that came rom the weather bureau had been pro condemned. He averred that he had al endeavored to be, as he put it, “an honest | junk dealer, thongh high moral characters are {| Very rare in that profession.” WHAT SULLIVAN arp, John Sullivan was the first witness called to the stand. He has been a laborer in the weather burean for eleven years. He said that | on the morning of December 17, 1892, two | wagons called at the bureau. Mr. Hopfen- maier’s two men were with the wagons, and they said they were sent for some old tyre, | belting and copper wire. About seven boxes were placed in the wagons, ‘They were in a shed where all the property was kept tat was | to be condemned and sold at public aaction. ‘The men with the wagons said that this old stuff had been sold by Capt. Brannon. That same morning, witness continued. Capt. | Brannon told him that the wagon woud be up later for old paper, but be told Brannon that he thought not, as the wagons had already been | up. On the 224 of the same month the wagons | came again after some old type and paper. | This last stuff was taken from the paper shed and not from the condemned shed. The two sheds adjoin. Witness remembered having seen | a roll of linoleum removed from the place. | Last fall Capt. Brannon returned from the | west and he overheard Capt. Brannon remark to Capt. Stone that there had been a good deal | vf stealing going on in his abseuce aud if be | had not come back when he did the building | might have been taken away as well. On Oc- tober 20 witness found about 409 pounds of type and some belting near the printing oitice and he called the attention of the storekeeper to it and asked where he wanted it stored. In | December he saw Wm. Plummer packing these same boxesand asked him where they were going. Piummer did not know and witness told they were going to Hopfenmaier's. said that he met Brannon in front of Horfe! mnier's place. Brannon asked him if he w: keeping a watch on him. Sullivan told bim ‘that he was not; this was to throw him off his guard. Witness bad never had any difficulty with Branuon except once when it was in con- nection with the condition of the horses’ backs im the stable. Witness said that about # year ago 2.000 pounds of new ledgers were taken from a shed and turned over to Brannon by Ryan and they were put in bags by Hopfenmaier’s men and cart further, Sullivan said that in ‘one year 25,000 pounds of books were removed by Brannon’s directions to Hopfenmaier's piace, They were old records and were sold as old paper. ‘The unused books were marked with the name of the signal servico and this was after the weather bureau was turned over to the Agri- cultural Department. A stone step belonging to the main building and about fifteen iron stringers were also sold at Brannon’s directions, Some waxed paper was also sold to Hopfen- maier as waste paper, Brannon giving as a rea- son that it was of no use to the bureau, THE STONE STEP. James K. Kerr, # gardener in the employ of | the government since 1861, was next called. He | was asked about the stone step that was re- moved from the weather bureau, but said tbat | he knew nothing about it, He had seen it, bat did not know anything about its being taken away,and “would like to see the man that could «ay he did.” ‘That wos all for Mr. Kerr, and Wm. Plummer, a colored Inborer at the bureau, was put upezl the anxious be He told of bis having packed about seven boxes of type at the direc- tion of Mr, Ryan. Did not know what became of it, Healso packed the waxed paper and Inced it in Capt. Brannon’s room, urder the Impression that it was to be sent out to some of the stations, He did not know whether or not it was condemned goods. ‘MR. HOPFENMAIER'S TESTIMONY. Lonis Hopfenmaier, the hide and junk dealer who plays such a prominent if uncertain part in this investigation, said that in answer to a telephone message he went to Ryan's house on Matreet. Ryan told him that he had some | goods for sale and he went down into the cellar, where he found a considerable amount of sta- tionery, drawing paper, writing paper, pens and peucila. Ryans whow he bad Known at the weather bureau, said that he wanted to sell the goods right away. ‘The stationery was new and in the original packages. It was weather bu- reau paper and witness refused to have any- thing todo with it. Ryan's explanation of his possession of all this stuff was that it was sur- plus matter and had been given to him by offi- cials of the bureau. “That's a new way of disposing of a surplus, remarked Secretary Morton. Every one #1 for this was the first break in a rather unin- teresting hearing. ‘As to the removal of the type, Mr. Hopfen- ‘tmaier stated in the most emphatic manner that he had never taken a single pound of type from the weather bureau. If any one eaid he had it wes a deliberate false! Furthermore, be had never had two wagons at the weather bureau at the same time. There bad never been enough goods to remove at one time to re- quire two wagons. As to the molds for printers’ roliers he had never, to the best of bis knowl- edge, purchased any. Hopfenmaier said that he made it arule in dealing with the depart- ments to in checks,to avoid any question at all, but Capt. Brannon’ objected to this on the ground that it was inconvenient to bother with cashing checks for small sums. The only check he made was in favor of Capt. Stone. In the other transactions he paid cash and the money was handed over to Capt. Brannon. Hopfenmaier then permission to make a statement to show his connection with Brannon. When Brannon was in the Post Office Department he was in the junk business as well, and Hopfenmaier raised the point that he should pay ® junk dealer's license, and this made an unpleasant feeling between them. ‘Their relations had been strictly in the line of ‘business and he wished now be had never had any at all. “There is considerable of the Dutch about me,” said Hopfenmaier. “I don’t often for- give and I never forget. I never went to see him, for he always came to see me when he had anything to sell. ‘There have been a number of other junk dealers, and I don’t see why I should be singled out from allof them. I have never had any dealings with any other employe of the weather bureau." ‘Allen Spencer, the colored driver of the mail wagon for the bureau, testified that he carried some cases and rugs to Capt. Brannon’s honse. ‘Then he brought some goods back, but could not say whether it was all,ashe kept noaccount. He did remember, however, that he never brought the cases back. He could not be sure but of the recovery of the bolt of linen and the ar- rest of the foreman of the Later witness and Detective Pai ted tind ont about some articles that & il iy GH i e rad fe cfr TH i i £ Fe 2 ie : i i i | of this offer to get their waier mains laid im- | fork gratis. | bond £1,009. | meet at the same pines at 7 o'clock, when they which will be used to lay new mains There | are over 125 applications for water mains now on file, and if the law of precedence is followed the last ones on the list may not be laid for two years, At the suggestion of Tax Sran reporter yes- terday Derby looke:! into this matter and discovered a way to partially remedy the diti- | culty.
