Practically &l of the witnesses told the committee that if they had not paid Brin- dell or his associates certain sums when demanded they would have been “put out of the business” by strikes and labor trouble. When : the hearing adjourned late to- day until tomorrow, Albert Volk, a build- ing_contractor, who had already testified to the payment of $4,500 to Brindell, was still on the witness stand and had several cancelled checks in his hands for ex- planation, Additional testimony as to the payment, of money to Brindell and his aides, who had previous testimony had been' receiv- ing thousands of- dollars from builders, came in Tapid fire order near the close of the afternoon session. Louis Cohen, a housewrecker, made the first revelation of the day when hf testified to paying Brindell $4,500 in sums ranging from $250 to $3,000 for the privilege of getting contracts and work- ing them with the council's men. He was followed by lsrael S. Goldstein, ‘another housewrecker, who said he had. paid Lrindell $200 a job, of which anount $25 was in check. " The check, endorsed by Brindell, was placed in evidence. The first direct testimony relating to the payment of money to Brindell's walk- ing delegates was given by Max Minen- son, a contractor, who declufed that he had paid two business agents—Peter Stadtmuller and George Moran—$2,000 to get work started on a job. He testified he understood that they wanted the mon- ey to pay. Brindell. Jacob Kamen, another builder, told the committee that when work was stopped on one of) his jobs, he had paid Moran $500 and work was started “three hours later. Later he said he gave Moran $50, when the walking delegate told him he had given the other money to Brin- dell, cxplaining that “if I didn’t give it, 1 Wouldn't get along un the ‘next job. _ Besides giving Urindell $4,500 in cash in various transactions at the offices of the building trades council,” Velk while on the stand testified to paying various sums totalling gnore than $1,100 to the Brindell organization for “Initiation fees and dues” of men in his employ. Checks for the various amounts, including one for $677.25 personally endorsed by Brin- dell and A. J. Olsen, were introduced as evidence. Win asked why he had submitted to Brindell's demands, the Witness' declare he ‘had to come across” as the' labor leader told him that “it was up to him| to select am gnd_the _glving of i, T 3 K’M’."gonunul olk, “that he had licked the builders -into. % they had to come across and.that' of them were his friends. He said he had fought all and licked them; but did net specitically mention how, but I under- stood it was through union fights. When he offered Brindell $2,000 for getting him a_$15,000 stock exchange wrecking job, Volk said, Brindell told him he was no ‘“piker” and walked away. Several days later he.said he fe- turned to the labor chiefs office ‘and “pleaded Wwith him to take my $2,000,” and when Brindell “was sending me out of his office I finally said, Bob, I'll make it $2,500." When he told Brindell he dian't have the money with him, the witness said, the labor chief wanted to know “what you Wit to come around here for without it” Vol said, however, he soon'got the cash and Brindell accepted it. One of the sensations of the day was the testimony of Henry Hanlein, cut stone contractor, whose $2,000,000 . limestons contract on the Néw York County court- house was recently rescinded by Mayor Hylan. He testified that elght other con- tractors had been associated with him in the agreement with the county, which he said had been enginesred by John T. Het- trick, a lawyer, whose offices were re- cently raided by the committee for evi- dence relating to the “code of prac- tice” by which bids are alleged to have been put through a central clearing house. Hanlein admited that *the contract price could have been reduced $70,000 or $80,000 if ti had not included a “rake off" of 3 1-2 per cent. on the total amount of the contract, of which 5-8 per cent. was to go to Hettrick, 3-8 per cent. to a “Mr. Hutchinson, a cut stone expert,” 1-2 per cent. to the Greater New York Stone Association, and 2 per cent. to the “code of practice” insurance fund. All papers and estimates brought by the witness into the courtroom were con- fiscated by Samuel Untermyer, the com- mittee's counsel, who grilled Hanlein for nearly three hours, regarding certain items in the courthouse bid. When asked to produce a copy of the agreement signed by himself and his eight associates, who were characterized by Untermyer as the “charmed circle, Hanlein said: “I would lfke to look at it myself now.” “If you would like to see it don’t you you know that all you had to do was to %o to Hettrick and get it”* asked Unter- myer. “He would not show us anything,” said the witness. : ‘Was this his job or yours?” “It was his job. He had us buffaloed.” “What sort of an animal were you?” “I was a goat very often.” Hanlein was questioned at length re- garding the activities of the Internation- al Cut Stone Contractors' _Assoclation, which has headquarters in Indianapolis. organization and t Senator Harding is spending a vacation at the invitation unless the trip would in- Point Isabel. belief that General Obregon would accen t While admitting that the was hoperated “to keep up prices keep us out of bankruptcy,” the witness denied that there was anything illegal in its operations. t TREIGHT CARS DERAILED NEAR DANBUEY FAIR GROUNDE t Danbury, Conn., Nov. 4—Tight loaded cars in a’ freight train bound from May- brook, Y., to New Haven were de- railed near flx Danbury fair groupds on the Central New England railroad to- night.

F. Gra- ham of Vermont Had Been Convicted Fcr Embezzle- ment.. Montpelier, Vt, Nov. 4.—Governor Percival W. Clement late today granted a full and unconditional pardon to Form- er Governor Horace F. Graham, who was sentenced in the supreme court earlier in the day to imprisonment for five to eight years for embezzlement of state funds while he was state auditor. The governor in granting the pardon said: & “On account of the distinguished ser- vice ‘of Governor Graham to the stafe of Vermont and the suffering which he has endured. I feel that he has been punish- ed enough and I have issued him a full pardon.” Governor Clement also addressed a let- ter to the former former governor in which he reviewed the' seryice rendered by Governor ‘Graham to the state. In it were extracts from reports of auditors which commplimented Graham, who =was then state. auditor, on thie = manner . in which the the office. was conducted, and on' the many néw improved methods in- sroduced by him, ] “Your services to the state of Ver- mont,” the governor wrote, “were second to those of no other governor. While I mccept the action of the horiorable court. nevertheless, on account of the great and valuable service which you have rendered o Vermont -and the suffering which you have endured: by reason, of your indict- ‘meént and trial, 1 grant you an uncondi- tional pardon -and restore you to full sitizenship in this state, which In the past 1as so highly honored you. Graham was a member, ot the Vermont house of Fepresentatives from . 1892 to 1910, was state auditor from 1902 up to lhe time he was elected governor in 1915, ind was reelected governor in 1917. It was during his long term as auditor that the larcenies amounting to about $22,000 were committed. Restitution of a large part of this was made before the trial. INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL PALMER ‘Washington, Nov. 4.—Attorney General Palmer- returned to his office here late to- day to find awaiting him a telegram from Federal Judge Anderson at Indianapolis informing him that an investigation was to be made of Mr. Palmer’s connection with the soft coa lcases. ‘ T am at a loss to know what Judge Anderson is proposing to investigate,” Mr. Palmer said. “My connection with this case has been simply and only the con- nection of the attorney gemeral with any government case.

Correspond- ? between the department . and Simms, and all data having 'a bearing on ?azpflfiisedlnn have been assembled. It [ was understood the attorney general plan. ned to go over the papers during the next few days.. © . While some officials thought it possible that further mction by Judge Anderson might warrant the attornoy general in making public a statemeiil of his posi- tion “en all ases of the proceedings,’ the opinion was expressed tnat unless the judge himself threw additional light on the proposed inquiry, Mr. Palmer would remain silent. Although in mo way connecting the Simms controversy with matters to be in- vestigated Ly Judge Anderson, Mr. Palmer maintained that his position with respect to using the coal conspiracy evi- dence a second time was “the only right and proper” position to take. He was represented as feeling that to use the evidence in the forthcomjng case would amount_substantially to placing the de- fendan(s twice in jeopardy. Compliasice of the miners and operators with the in- junction mandate of the court settled that phase of {lie proeeedings, Mr. Palmer was said to hold, which prompted him to instruct Mr. Simms ‘to exclude such evi- dence from the second prosecution. Officials _admitted the expectation to- night that Judge Anderson, acting on_his own initiative, would call for introduc- tion of this evidence. With that. officials said, they had nothing to do, but the statement was reiterated that the govern- ment would not employ the information as a part of its case.
