HEARING CHARGES
A: AGAINST DIETRICH
Bennto Committeo Puts in Another
Day listening to the
Evidence. ; '
TVASHEN'GTON, ' March ' 12.-Jacob
Fisher, the present postmaster at Hast
ings, Neb., resumed hlB statement to
day before the special Senate commit
tee appointed to Investigate the charges
against Senator" Dietrich.
Fisher said that he hod not asked
Hahn what the ofllco paid and llntly
contradlotcd Hahn's statement that he
had asked Hahn to consult a lawyer
for him to ascertain whether he would
have to pay a note he might give to
Dlotrloh to secure tho appointment.
"I never asked him," he said, "and
no note was given."
PAYMENT OF MONEYS.
Edwin C. Francis, deputy postmaster
at Hastings under Fisher, was tho next
witness. Replying to questions by Mr.
Piatt, he said that he had ocreed to
pay hnlf tho rental of tho backroom of
the Dietrich building and had done so
for live months, the total be 5-11. The
arrangement was that he would have
half of any proceeds derived from tho
room. They had made an effort to
I rent the room to tho Wealem Union
i Telegraph company, but had failed. He
said these arrangements on account of
the room had nothing to do with his
salary. Ho contradicted the statement
of Mr. Hahn that ho luid assented to a
Btatement that ho (Francis) had to pay
3100 to Mr. Diotrlch or that he had told
iPIahn that Fisher had paid $200 to Mr.
Dietrich.
Mr. Francis testified that he had had
tftl conversation with District Attorney J
I Summers relative to testifying before
I tho grand jury In the case of Dietrich.
I Mr. Batty then asked for the partlcu
I lara of that conversation, but before he
I could reply, Mr. Hoar Interposed with
I an Inquiry as to the purpose of the ex
I a ml nation.
I ' We want," Mr. Batty replied, "to
show the pressure that the District At
torney puts upon witnesses In these
cases; that he told the witness that If
ho did not testify ho was himself lia
ble to prosecution and Imprisonment."
Mr. Hoar suggested that such a line
of Inquiry would broaden the Inquiry
to an undesirable extent, and after con
versation with Senator Dietrich, the at-
torney temporarily withdrew the ques
tion. Hardy Gregory, a postofflce In
j apector, testified to conversations ho
'said he hod lost December with Fisher
and Francis relative to moneys paid to
Dietrich on account of the back room
partitioned oft from the postofflce.
Fisher's statement, ho said, was tliat
the original lease was to bo knocked In
i tho head because of the reduction of
the rent from 51S00 to $1500, that Die
trich said ho (Fisher) and the citizens
of the placo should take the llxtures of
the G. A. R. post oft his hands, but that

Fisher had said that he would not ask
the peoplo but would do so himself.
After Dietrich had told Fisher that
when he went to Washington he would
recommend Fleher's appointment as
postmaster, although It was understood
the appointment was In no way depend
ent upon the payment for the furniture.
Tho witness also said that Fisher and
Francis told him about the rental of
the back room, but their statements as
related by Gregory did not differ ma
terially from their statements to the
committee. Ho said that Francis had
told him that Fisher In returning the
rent money for tho room had said that
Dietrich had refunded the money, say
ing that there had been some comment
about the transaction and he did not
want to continue the arrangement.
These conversations had, Gregory said,
occurred at Omaha at tho time the
grand Jury Investigation into tho Die
trich case was In progress.
Senator Dietrich elicited statements
from the witness tliat a voucher which
he carried to Hastings was for pay
mont for certain llxtures and also for
the payment of the transfer of the
postofflce. The bids for the removal
came through the former postmaster,
Mr. Hahn. Mr. Dietrich endeavored at
this time to bring out from the witness
tliat If there was an extortionate price
attached to the removal of the office It
was regular, having had the sanction
of the Postofflce department. Senator
Hoar suggested that this was wholly a
matter with the Postofflce department,
and ruled that the matter was not ger
mane. The committee took a recess un
til this afternoon.
William M. Dutton of Hastings re
lated' how the arrangement with tho G.
A. R, Post had been made by which It
was asreed that Dietrich should ' pay
tho post S500 for the fixtures. The con
tract was entered Into while Dietrich
was Governor and before his election as
Senator.
Dietrich had told him a few days aft
er his election as Governor that he In
tended to recommend Fisher as post
master, It being generally understood
that the Governor's recommendation
would bo accepted.
The witness closed the deal between
Dietrich and the G. A. R. post regard
ing tho fixtures and furniture for ?500.
He then told of a conversation had with
Senator Dietrich regarding the renting
jpf his building for postollicc purposes
the Senator insisting that he could not
get rent enough for his building from
the Government, The Senator at that
time told Dutton that he thought Fisher
should take the fixtures ofT his hands,
but denied that ho was commissioned to
mako any proposition to Fisher, and
there was no money consideration men
tioned for the fixtures. Dietrich "told
mo ho would recommend Fleher for
postmaster a week after his election as
Governor." said Dutton. Charles Emory
Smith, then Postmaster-General, while
in Hastings in the autumn of 1900 had
recommended that the postofllce be
changed and better quarters secured.
John Sinker, cashier of the German
National bank of Hastings and a brother-in-law
of Senator Dietrich, testified
regurdlng tho transfer of the llxtures
and about the property being in the
name of Allsy Dietrich. He said) Senator
Dietrich was a man of considerable
property and good standing In the com
munity. On examination bv Senator
Dietrich, the witness said he was to col
lect 51300 from the Government for the
postofllco and ."5300 a year from Jacob
Fisher.
The committee adjourned' until Mon
day at " o'clock.
