Wilkins ang Howard Butler Oon- victed of Oleqmaggarine Frauds. THEIR TRIAL IN: PHILADELPHIA No Testimony; Offered by the De- fense to Disprove the Charges. See A HISTORY OF THE GASE ———— After years of persistent and unpunished violation of the oleomargarine laws and the treasury regulations governing the handling and sale of the product, Joseph Wilkins, of the firm of Wilkins & Co., oleomargarine dealers of this city, was brought to trial in the United States district court at Phila- delphia yesterday before Judge Butler and convicted of violating the oleomargarine laws. Howard Butler, an employe of the firm of Wilkins & Co., was placed on trial at the same time for the same offense and was also convicted. The case is a familiar one to the public, owing to the persistent attempts made by the accused to secure immunity from prosecution by paying money into the internal revenue bureau of the Treasury Department. Many times be- fore, as the records of the internal revenue bureau show, the firm of Wilkins & Co. has escaped prosecution for violations of the oleomargarine law by paying money into the Treasury Department. Broken Promises to Reform. Nearly every one of these compromises was accompanied by a promise on the part of the offenders to indulge no more in the Violations they were charged with. The course followed by the internal revenue au- in accepting these sums of money led Wilkins Co. to believe that they might continue the same course without fear of prosecution. The great profits which the firm made by selling oleomar- garine under the representation that it was butter and receiving butter prices therefor made the payments of the compromise a matter of indifference. A couple ago the firm paid 00 into the Department to escape prosecu- tion for alleged violations of the oleomar- garine laws in Cincinnati, and later the sum of $2,100 was paid in return for being allowed to escape prosecution for frauds committed at Wheeling, W. Caught in the Act. The Philadelphia case against Wilkins and Butler involved even more flagrant viola- tions of the oleomargarine laws than the parties had yet been apprehended in. On the morning of Sunday, December 20, 1896, only two days after Joseph Wilkins and his brother, Walter P. Wilkins, had been acquitted in this city on a charge of fur- nishing Oleomargerine to the District re- form school, under a contract to provide butter, Joseph Wilkins and Howard But- ler were discovered by Special Agent Will jam H. Bowen of the internal revenue bureau, who is now chief of the special agents; Special Agent Arthur G. Van Horn of the same bureau and Samuel L. Cool, a special internal revenue gauger, in the act of scraping off the internal revenue stamps and the stencil brands from 120 boxes, containing; 7,780 pounds of oleo- taargarine. The marks thus being removed were required by the Jaw and the govern- ment regulations 40 be placed upon pack- eges of oleomargarine,.in order to distin- guish {t from other products, The work Was being done in the, warehouse, on pier 24, Baltimore and Obio freight’ depart- ment, at 224 South Delaware avenue, Phil- adelphia. When Wilkins and Butler were surprised at their work they had already scraped the stamps and sténeil brands off 111 boxes of oleomargarine nd were procecding to scrape the remaihing nine boxes in the same manner. Wilkins and Butler were ned yesterday on separate indict- » Which were similar In. the charges contained and which consisted of four counts each. Special Agent Bowen's Testimony. United States Internal Revenue Agent Bewen was the first witness called for the prosecution in the trial yester He de- scribed how he watched the accused at work on the Sunday morning in qu and said that when th were surpri occupation Wilkins and Butler said cre trying to make some m y had paid their a In co nnection with Mr. Bow- y the implements used by the accused in scraping ihe boxes, fragments of the internal revenue stamps removed frcm them and pieces of the bo: owing the removal of the siencil br were placed in evidence. 5 ial Agent Arthur P. V, nal revenue ctfice testi Mr. Bowen on the ion in ques- t ce: tion, saw Wilkins and Butler scraping off the stamps and labels from the boxes. Samuel Cool gave s John B. Friel, deput revenue at Phiiad had at the request o: testimony. Mr. tor of internal hia, testified that he pecial Agent Bowen taken the oleomargarine to a cold storage wareho} nd kept it under surveillance, and I rles A. Crampton, chemist of the internal revenue bureau, analyzing the contents of the finding it to be cleomargarine. No Defense Offered. ‘The defense offered no testimony what- ever, und neither of the defndants was permitted to go upon the stand. Judge Jere M. Wilson of this city appeared for the defendants, and at the morning ses- sion criticis2?d very strongly the second count of the indictment, which charged ccnspiracy between the defendants. At the afternoon session United States Dis- trict Attorney Beck of Philadelphia, who conducted the pros2cution, announced that the government would withdraw the con- spiracy indictment ertirely from the jury and seek a conviction on the remaining three counts of each indictment. In his address to th> jury Mr. Beck re- ferred to the debris on the pier, caused by remcving the stamps, brands and shav- ings, and that, when Bowen said he had heard sounds of work going on within th2 pier and found two men scraping away the brands on the boxes, he surprised the de- fendants in the very act, they admitting treir guilt, Mr. McManus, for the defense, in his ad- dress to the jury, called it ‘an’ imaginary picture on the wharf,” and held that the government had failed to show that there was any particular label on any package the morning of the'dstection, or that there ever was a label :there, according to law. He held likewise that there had never been a sample taken from tha boxes showing that it was oleo. “ ; Mr. Beck’s Argument. Mr. Wilson claimed that the government must prove that that label was on that certain package. He said that the evidence was silent on what brand and what package the marks-Were found or taken from. “I can admire the sé€verely technical ar- gument of my friend, dudge Wilson,” said Mr. Beck, in Fonclana: the case, “but laws to and boxes are not made simyly for the protection of the innocent, but{ for the punishment of the guilty. ‘The evidence does not only show that stamps and labels were removed, but the stamps and labels used and re- moved are here to speak for themselves. These men gave the reason why they had dcne this thing and Why they had agreed to deliver this counterfeit butter free from the mark of the law. It was because their centract with their consignee required them to remove the stamps and labels and be- cause they wanted to make good their loss- es sustained in a former issue at law.” In closing his charge to the jury, Judge Butler said; “If you are justified in convict- ing at all, you are justified in convicting on all three counts before you.” The contents of the three counts were explained by the judge, who simply ref€rred to the history of the case as it had been developed by the facts of the trial. . The jury retired, and returned in twenty minutes with a verdict of “guilty in man- ner and forms as indicted.” _ Mr. McManus immediately requested that the defendants be allowed to enter bail pending argument on ia demurrer which was filed, upon whioh a request for a new trial will be based. This request was re- fused by Judge Butler, who stated that there had already been one Instance of ab- sconding, and there should be no further temptation that way, and the convicted men were remanded to prison. The Efforts to Compromise. The readers of The Evening Star are fa- miliar with the desperate efforts made by Wilkins and his representatives to com- Promise the above case, as weil as the cases pending against him and his brother for other alleged violations of the oleomar- garine laws in the courts of the District cf Columbia. In the spring of 1897 an offer of a large sum was made to the internal revenue bu- reau to drop the prosecution against these parties. Deputy Commissioner Wilson, act- ing commissioner in the absence of Mr. Forman, who was then commissioner of internal revenue, dechned to accept the offer. The Philadelphia case Lad been sct for hearing at the February (S97) term of the court, but owing to the severe illness of Special Agent Bowen the hearing was postponed until the November term. Short- ly before the date set for the trial an offer of $7,000 was made to the Treasury De- partment by the representatives of Wil- kins & Butler to compromise the cases al- luded to. Course of Internal Revenue Barcan. ‘The internal revenue bureau sent com- munications to United States District At- torney Beck of Phiiadelphia and Assistant District Attorney Hugh T. Taggart of the District of Columbia, stating that such an offer had been made, and asking if the prosecuting attorneys did not think, in consideration of the difficulty of upholding the oleomargarine laws and the improb- ability of any such amount of money being sectred in case of fines imposed if con- victions were reached in the cases under consideratioa, that it would be a good idea to accept the offer. It is understood that Mr. Beck's reply was rather favorable to the offer of the compromise, but Br. Taggart opposed anything of the sort. Secretary Wilson Acts. In srite of this, however, the tr. authorities concluded to accept promise and recommended, it is understood, td the Department of Justice that such a ccurse be pursued. The attention of Sec- retary of Agriculture Wi to the affair, and he w ury the com- on was called s supplied w full information regar retary Wilson imni 3 the imposition practiced on the the dealers in oleomargarine effect on the dairy i , Waich were under his official care ‘otection, and with his customary vigilance he proceeded to prevent the con- summation of the compromise. In cor quence of Mr. Wilson's interest Attorney McKenna declined to accept the sition of the representatives of the oivomargarine men. Another Offer Made. discussion of the proposed compro- rise led to another postponement of the Philadelphia case from the November term of the court to the present term. Two weeks ago it developed that the represen- A tatives of the oleomargarine men had ir creased the amount of money they w willing to pay for immunity from pros cution to $8,000. Secretary Wilson was absent in Florida and Attorney Griggs had just assumed 0: lieved by oleomargar under th cireumstan! the compro- mise would be accepted, the Treasury De- partment authorities having again ap proved such a course. A int Seer of Agriculture Brigham, , Was ap- prised of the new move of the oleo men, and requested that no decision should be made by tne Department of Justice until Secretary Wilson returned. When Mr. Wilson did re! ed Attorney General Griggs facts in the ca and when M M ner and Wilson, as representatives of Wil- Kins & Butler, and the other part under indictment for oleo violations in this city, appeared before the Attorney General, the latter declined to consider the compromise. It is understood that the gentlemen who appeared in behalf of the acceptance of the $8,000 stated to the Attorney General in the the chances n he acquaint- with all the srs. Miche- course of their arguments tha were very strong against the conviction of the accused, who were really innocent ot the charges against them, and that the At- tcrney General replied in response to this statement that he could not think of taking $8,006 from innocent men. Accordingly, the Philadelphia case was brought to trial and the conviction of Wilkins and Butler foliow- ed as a matter of course. The attorneys for the defendants gave notice yesterday of a motion for a new trial. CITIZENS IN COUNCIL. Brightwood Park Axsociation Dis- cusses Railway Facilities. The regular monthly meeting of the Brightwood Park Citizens’ Association was held at Schlosser’s Hall last night, the all- absorbing topic being the question of better railroad facilities and the developments made on that subject at the recent hear- ings before the House District committee and the Di The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. Wm. McK. Clayton, After disposing of preliminary business the rdil- s taken up and thoroughly : which, by a unanimous vote, the assvciation indorsed House bill S420, thereby, it was said, voicing the timents of all the residen' of the District. The bill r of the Metropolitan Company to carry out the provisions of the act of August 2, 18M, by which it was required to complete its track to the old terminus on 7th street north of Florida avenue, and to enter into reciprocal trackage arrangements with the Brightwood Railway Company. It further recites that owing to this failure of the Metropolitan Company, the Brightwood Company has been unable to run its cars to the heart of the city, as contemplated by the act of August, 1894. The bill, it was cited, provides, among other things, that if the Metropolitan Com- pany fails for six months to build and equip the piece of road between yth street and Florida avenue the Brightwood Com- pany shall have the right to construct the same and collect the cost from the Metro- politan; and that thereafter Brightwood cars may continue down 9th street at a trackage rate of 3 cents per mile per car. Mr. Martin, from the committee on free delivery, stated that on account of a de- ficiency in appropriations the superintend- ent of free delivery had informed him that the service would not be extended to Brightwood during the present fiscal year. On motion it was ordered that the asso- ciation send three delegates to the recent- ly organized ‘citizens’ associations central committee,” the delegation to consist of President Clayton and two others to be ap- pointed by him. —>—_—_ Discussing the Loud Bill. ‘The House yesterday entered upon the consideration of the Loud bill relative to second-class matter. The bill is identical with the bill passed at the last Congress, but Mr. Loud, its author, gave nottce of an amendment permitting the transmission at pound rates of sample copies up to 10 per cent of the bona fide circulation of the newspaper periodicals. This amendment re- moves much opposition to the bill. Only three speeches were delivered yester- day. Mr. Loud made an exhaustive speech in its favor, claiming that the government Fractically paid a subsidy of $40,000,000 to the proprietors of publications which now got access to the mails at pound rates, as the cost of transporting mail and its han- dling averaged 8 cents per pound. Mr. Moon (Tenn.) spoke in opposition to the bill and Mr. Perkins (Iowa) in favor of it. The debate will continue until tomorrow, when the vote will be taken at 4 o'clock. —_—---_____—. Many Discharges Made. Many discharges were made from the labor roll, Department of Agriculture, yes- terday, and more will have to go March 15 and 31. This is made necessary for the rea- son that the appropriation 1s about ex- hausted. The Secretary of Agriculture has decided that he can make no more appoint- ments, and it is absolutely useless for per- sons to apply for positions in the Agricul- tural Department. Secretary Wilson has made the appropriation last now longer than was anticipated,. but it is impossibie to add to those on the roll, which is now overcrowded.
