New York, May 8.—The destruetion of the evidence used before the grand | jury in the famous ‘“Jackson iwire Dool” cases by officials of the Ameri- can Steel and Wire company, one of the big subsidiaries of the United States Steel corporation, was the prin- cipal subject of the testimony today in the hearings of the government's dissolution suit against the corpora- tion before Commissioner Henry P. | Brown. It is the government’s pur- | pose, according to Judge Dickinson, special _counsel in the case, to deter- mine whether the papers were destroy- ed before or after the filing of the pending suit on October 26 last. The testimony today was by Harry | A. Whitney, until recently a sales agent of the Worcester, Mass, Works | of the American Steel and Wire com- pany. He asserted that he personally burn- |ed the evidence—a trunkful of min- utes and other records of one of the pools In which the wire conspiracy is alleged to have participated. Whitney said that he recelved the instructions to destroy the evidence from Frank Baackes, vice president of the com pany, but when Judge Dickinson press- ed him to he exact date upon which received the order, his memory failed him. Whitney caused a sensation in the | courtroom when he told of an alleged conversation that occurred between himself, Baackes and George W. Cra- gin, Whitney’s immediate superior in the country, just before being called to testify in the grand jury investi- gation last Janu tion of the papers. As sworn to by the witness, the con- v on raised the question whether Whitney was instructed to testify that Cragin and not Baackes had given the orders that the evidence be burned. Whitney was_apparently reluctant to repeat the alleged conversation, but was finally pinned down to saying that Cragin said that he (Cragin) teatified | that he gave the order himself and that Cragin “wanted me to avoid say- ing Baackes gave me the instructions, 1 could.” Baackes has been subpoenaed as a witness in the pending suit, into the destruc- THE FLOOD SITUATION _ 18 MUCH IMPROVED.

New York, May 8.—Clarence V. T. Richeson is not a member of the Mor- mon church, and was never at a Mor- mon conference in Staten Island, it is said in a statement issued tonight by W. S. Langdon, acting president of the Hastern States mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, with headquarters here. Never Met at Staten Island. The only conferences of the church ever held in thia city were held at its headquarters uptown, Mr. Lansdon explains, and the church never in its history held a conference on Staten Island. There are no members of the church on Staten Island, he said, and no Mormon missionary has ever labor- ed there. “It’s a Liel"—Lawyer Morse. Boston, May 8—"Is a le” sald William 'A.

Richeson of Boston was a member of the Mormon ckurch. Sznato: Smoot said: ‘The statement of Mrs. Louise E. Brittain that Clarence V. T. Richeson is an elder in the Mormon church is a malicious falsehood. Richeson is not now, nor never has been, an elder, or even a member of the Mormon church. 1 am informed that Mrs. Brittain was excommunicated from the church a few years ago. A desire to injure and castrefiections upon the Mormon church is undoubtedly the reason for her statement.” Mrs, Brittain Excommunicated. Boston, May 8—A denial of" Mrs. Brittain's statement was made today by John H. Whitssides, Lawrence W. Richards and Leslie H. Van Dyke, el- ders of the Mormon church iff Massa- chusetts. In an_afiidavit the elders state tha: Mrs. Brittain was excom- municated from the Mormon body last March for “improper conduct” and for “bearing false witness aglinst the church and misrepresenting its doc- trines and practices.” The elders fur- ther say that there is no marriage in the Mormon church whereby the laws of the states are not complied with and that of their own personal know- ledge they know that Richeson was never allled in any way with the de- nomination.

Willlams, a Scranton coal dealer, while deliberating as a judge on the ‘“lighterage cases” to Which the Erle railroad was e party, is alleged to have negotiated an option from that railroad for forty-two thou- sand tons of clum bank property to be sold at a $12,000 profit was related to the cummittee by Williams himseif. Judge Archbald, accompanied by his two sons and his counsel, A, §.

Asked to Discount Archbald’s Nét In addition to that transaction, Wil- liams testified about another ome in which he said “Archbald acquired an interest with him in an option on a million acres of Venezuelan timber- land for which the judge gave a note for $500. Willlams tried to discount this mote with C. J. and W, P. Boland of the ‘Marjon Coal company of Scranton, who at that time had a case pending before Judge Archbald in the feder: court. The Bolands refused to dis count the note and later lost their case. Boland that if he had discounted Judge Archbald’s note the case might have resulted differently, but he denied that Judge Archbald knew anything of his malking such a remark to Boland. Archbald Silent Party. ‘The testimony relating to the Culm bank matter included reference to an assignment by Williams of an inter- est in the options secured to W. P. Boland and a “silent party,” whom he admitted, under examination, was Judge Archbald. When asked why Judge Archbald was referred to as a “silent party,” Williams said he thought it was not lawful for a jurist's name to be used in such transactions. Williams related how the option for the Culm bank property was negotiat - ed for with officers of the Erie rail- road and how a sale for the property was arranged for, and saild that he and Judge Archbald were to divide the profits. During tke negotiations with the Erle, Judge Archbald told him that the lighterage case was then before his court, Willilams said, Erle Lighterage Case. “Judge Archbald showed me the briefs in the case,” sand Williams, “and told me it was about the lighterage case in which the Erie was interested. I didn’'t know what lighterage meant, and he told me. Then he gave a letter to Mr. May of the Erie and also told me that he would see the general counsel for the Erle, Mr. Brownell, about the option.” ‘When Willams was first called to the stand he testified of the transac- tion involving Judge Archbald’s note for $500 and the case in his court in Chairman Clayton producing a photo- graphic copy of a letter signed by Wil- liams, in which he said he told W. P. Boland if he (Boland) had discounted Judge Archbald’s note the case of John W. Peel vs. the Marion ~Coal company, in which the Bolands were interested, would not have been decid- ed against them. The letter was read to Williams, and he said dramatical- 1y: ViT can swear before God that those words never came from me.” “Dfa you sign this letter?” asked the chairman. “Yes, that is my signature, but 1 signed it without looki atit. I 'du‘ not know those words were there.” A Damaging Letter. photographic copy, follows: “This is to certify that I, Edward ‘Willlams, called on Willizm P.
