Crawford, who is charged with conspiracy. Maéhen and Lorenz_were indicted jointly with Craw- ford. The formér pleaded guilty and was sentenced {0 an ‘additional two: years in | the penitentiary. It is generally believed that Lorenz is testifying for’the Govern- ment..under: an ;agreement that he shall not be - prosecuted under - indictments vending dgainst him. Lorenz_did not_spare himself in the corfession. . He declared that an agree- ment had been formed by himself, Machen and Crawford to get contracts to furnish letter-carriers’ satchels to the Postoffice Department, and. they Had shared in the profits. The contracts were gained by reason of Machen's connection with the supply division of the Postoffice | Department, and were ‘filled by Craw- ford, who was the general manager for | the Postal Device and Lock Company of New York. According to Lorenz, he was the go-between; although there . were meetings between the three at the room of Lorenz when he was staying at a hotel | in this city in the early part of June, 1002. TWO OF THEM COMBINE. ‘“Who first suggested the division' of the profits under the contract obtained by Crawford's compeny?’ asked Govern- ment Prosecutor Conrad. “Machen was in my room,"” answered Lorenz, “and said there should 'be some agreement as to the division of the spoils. He said: “Crawford may suggest that he recelve one-fourth, you one-fourth and that one-half shall come to me. If he does, that will be satisfactory to me.’ Machen then sald that whatever the ar- rangement, he and I should divide our shares equally. That is, if three-fourths came to us, ‘we would divide it Further questioning brought out _the statement from Lorenz that Crawf had made the suggestion of the divi when they met the next day, and the fig- ures were in accordance with those that had been named by Machen. He sald that the three mem.came to tersls according to“ that agfeement. The witness was examined in relation to correspondence between himself and Crawford. The papers include drafts, letters and other matter. These were ex- plained by Lorenz. The first one of con- sequence wag a letter iuclosing a draft for $440, which the witness said Craw- ford sent to him and asked that he “at- tend to it.” On the letter was a memor- andum with initfals and designation as follows: “A. W.,” ‘“‘George” and “Bill"” After the designation were sums, the first being one-half of the amount of the draft, and after the other were sums one-fourth the amount of the draft. DRAYFTS IN EVIDENCE. The Government couneel tried to get be- fore the jury the statement that this memorandum meant that A. 'W. Mschen, George Lorenz and Willlam G. Crawford were to receive the amounts named. This was ruled out, but Lorenz testified that he had made division of the amount of the draft according to the terms of the contract. He said that Crawford's share was sent to him by a New York draft made payable to bearer. The draft was then offered. Lorenz testified that three payments were made by Crawford of the money received from the Government under the contracts held by the Postal Device and Lock Company, and that Crawford had received his second share by draft made payable to Lorenz, and the last was sent in currency through the American BEx- press.

NEW YORK, May 31.—Memhers of the Masonic fraternity were greatly in- terested to-day on learning that the Court of Appeals had finally decided against Robert Kopp in his suit against George W. White, as grand treasurer of the Grand Lodge of the State of New York, for reinstatement in the order. Kopp's case has been in litigatien for several years and the coprt has ruled against him at each step hé has taken. His troubles began in P.oemw 1897, when he was elected ‘master of the Lodge of Strict Observance No. 94, F. and A. M., and began-an investigation of aua‘ed finanefal jrregularities. A charge of arbitrary copduct was pre- ferred against him...-In the course of the eorrespondence that followed, Kopp, in 1899, wrote to~W. A. Sutherland, then grand master of the State, a letter deemed insulting. For this he was ex- pelled and he has been fighting ever since to enforce what he believed to be his legal rights. Kopp sald to-day he was satisfled with the result and believes that the judicial declaration makes the Masonie fraternity a religious organization, as none of those in authority have pro- tested against such designation by his lawyers. —_——————— California Postal Changes.
