Bendernagel, he sald, was in charge of the office. i “Did you ever see Bendernagel pay cash to men in the uniform of the custom house who came to his office?” asked Winifred T. Denison of counsel for the government, “Yes,” was the answer. “What form was this money in?" “It was in banknotes taken from the safe in the office. I mever saw vouch- nor heard of any,” Mallen New York, Nov. 30.—James F. Ben- dernagel declines to be made the “gont” hy the American Sugar Re- fining eompany, the so-called trust. 1f the word of his counsel is correctly interpreted he may testify for the gov- ernment befors his trial and those of five erstwhile employes of the com- pany, all of whom are charged with defrauding the government by under- v‘iluns sugar, are concluded in the TUnited States circuit court. Fifteen Dollars a Week for Being Crooked. This development in one of the many legal phases involving the corporation now under federal fire came today when a witness testified that fifteen dollars—sometimes a little more—was what American Sugar Refining com- pany am:loyu were pald to be crook- ed. And the man who in some in- stances paid this alleged corruption money, according to the testimony, +was Bendernagel, one-time superin- tendent of the company’'s plant in ‘Willlamsburg (Brooklyn). Sensational Evidence. Tn the face of. this testimony Ben- Ae¢rnagel comferred with his lawyer, George W. Beattle, who in turn made sthis amnouncement: “Mr. Bendernagel is my client. He will not be the ‘goat’ in this case. He was an employe, and what he did he did under orders. And he will mnot shield uflls “Bhe i that has t{one forth that the Sugar trust is putting up for his defense is wrong. The company is not contributing a cent for it. He didn’t receive a salary of $20,000 per year, as has been said. He zot a few thousands, much less than the figures given, When he takes the stand he will conceal nothing.” The evidence which brought this turn in the case was given by Andrew J. Mallen, who up to 1907 was employ- ed in the cashier’s office of the Have- replied. Mallen testified further that John R. Coyle, Edward A. Boyle, Patrick Hen- nessey, and Jean Voelker, weighers and checkers among the men accused, were paid in _envelopes marked $12 for the week. But their envelopes con- tained $15. Later when the salaries of this class of men were raised to $15 they got $18 in their envelopes, al- though the regular pay for their posi- tions was marked “outside of the en- velope at §15.” The government sought tv show that this unexplained increase in salary was a reward for manipulating the scales to show false weights on sugar; Bendernagel’s counsel maintained, on the other hand, that if there was any- thing irregular about the payments the defendant was not responsible. One Tramp in a Thousand. The cold@ weather has brought with it the usual number of winter beggars who travel from howse to house in the hope of getting enough to eat, says the Danbury News. The majority of them are anxious to eat, and think of nothing else, while there are some who will work in payment for the food re- celved. At one house on the east side of the city the “lady of the house” was asked for food by a shivering man who tapped on the kitchen door at 9 o'clock in the morning. Being assured that he could have food, the beggar refused to touch it until he had shoveled every meyer and Elder refinery in Williams- path around the house. Then he sat burg. down to a deserved meal. =—_——_————-_—_—‘ Report in Relation fo Licenses in the County of New London for the Year Ending September 30th, 1909.

It is conceivable that a partisan of his make-up would have liked to see such a'contest as is | likely avoid- ed, but unless I misread the relation- ship of which I am writing the heft of the Fyler influence woi thrown to his associate. There are those who for the moment fear that the death of Mr. Fyler will free many forces which had been held in check by him and that they may be tempted to join the Builkeley forces. It is well understood that party lines are a bit disorganized and that a strong nature is nesrded to tighten them, but for all that I cannot yet be persuaded that yler's death is serious in its ad- verse effect on Mr. McLean’s ambition. Things rarely go in this world as they are planned, and it is quite within the possibilities that the new situation may help rather than injure the younger man, The fact remains that former Governor McLean appeals with tre- | mendous personal ferce to the imagi- nation and pride of the state.
