Late yesterday afternoon the lawyers for the government renewed their at |tack upon the financial methods of the Harrlman group In the t'htcngo nnjl Al ton railroad, when they called Charles \V.

Mr. Hilliard suld his first task was to find money to carry on the Improve ment under way. There was money enough In (he treasury for current ex pense*. but not enough to carry on Im- | provements. which Includes a cut off of 4 1-2 miles of the road near Murray- villa to Rprlngfleld. There was not enough money to complete the building of tills line, said the winters. J “I looked Into the question of raising money by mortgage." he continued, "and I discovered thAt It had already been mortgaged.*' Second Mortgage Needed. "Do I understand that this road had been mortgaged before It waa built?" asked Mr. Commissioner Lane. "Ye*. I waa told that It was covered by the mortgage of 1900. and there was! nothing ttyat could he done except put a second mortgage on It. which would have been n p«x»r security.'* said Hil liard. All the bonds were gone. I found from the books that the 918,000.- | ooo hail never been paid for the bonds, that the 910.000.000 had never been j paid to Stanton tor the stock: that the, 93.000.000 had never been paid to Btan- | ton for the road, hut that the 822.000.- ' 000 In bonds had been turned over $o| the syndicate w ho delivered the stock | and the road through the Intermediary,' Mr. Htanton."
