Meter Tampering
Admitted by Two
In Police Court
Promise to Pay Power
Company for Current;
Seals Broken
The fact that “meter men” are th£
only persons permitted to delve Into
the intricacy s of meters registering
electric consumption was impressed
upon two men in the United States
branch of Police Court yesterday.
Appearing before Judge Edward
M. Curran, Benjamin Tendler, 39, of
912 Gallatin street N.W., and Julian
Sisco, 21, of 1438 Columbia road
N. W., pleaded guilty to a charge of
violating a section of the District of
Columbia code concerning unlawful
tampering with an electric meter.
On the men’s promise to make resti
tution to the Potomac Electric Power
Co. for unpaid consumption of elec
tric current, and because it was their
first offense, Judge Curran referred
the case to the probation officer.
Karl Kindelberger, assistant dis
trict attorney, said that testimony
offered at a hearing before him yes
terday by the power company’s en
gineers revealed a sharp drop in the
consumption of electricity at the
Lido Theater, in the 3200 block of
M street N.W., last February.
Engineers investigating the meter
at the theater found that a piece
of wood had been placed between
the meter’s rotating disc and the
magnet, thus preventing the regis
tering of the electric current con
sumed. The seal on the meter had
been broken, the engineers said.
Another check a short time later
found the seal still broken, but the
meter registering. The engineers
said it appeared that the meter had
been allowed to operate correctly in
order to show some consumption.
After this check the meter was
again sealed.
Still another check by the com
pany revealed this time that the seal
on the meter again had been broken
and the movement of the disc
stopped by the insertion of a slip of
paper between the diso and the
magnet. The company rigged up
an auxiliary meter outside the build
ing and discovered that the actual
consumption of electric current was
far in excess of the amount reg
istered.
Mr. Kindleberger said the two men
admitted they had "fixed" the meter
at the hearing yesterday. Engineers
for the power company said the
mysterious consumption of current
had gone on for 10 months.
