WORKING UP THE EVIDENCE.

~ut in the bundle. There was considera
v,!f. explanation of fascines.
t hese.” he said, referring to the bun-
S of brush on the Jury platform, ‘'are
? rush fascines, then I have seen them.
Those are about a general average of what
“nt into the work.”
In the low country and around Savannah
tlle quality of the brush is better than
, r ~ around Augusta. There was chok
i -of brush at Georgetown, S. C.. but had
b , : tl none on the works here. He did not
t . asider lath yarn such as used a proper
(h i n g to use around fascines, if the bun
ti , s were properly choked, because of Its
lack of strength.
He did not recognize on Capt. Carter's
*ork any military fascine, but his inter
pretation of the specifications was that
military fascines should be used.
i-.ipt. Carter had told him not to press
the contractors, hg said, and he was fur
pier positive that Capt. Carter had never
J him to see that the Interests of the
United States government were first
looked after.
W as not the question asked you in Sa
vannah in the presenee of at least three
j„ sons if you had been instructed to do
i, iou could to see that the Interests of
the United States were first protected, and
tint If you could consistently do anything
to facilitate the work of the contractors
in a legitimate way, you could do it, and
you answered yes, sir?” Mr. Charlton ask
ed.
Mr. Twiggs first replied no, that he had
not been so instructed, but afterward when
his attention was called to the fact that
he had so testified before the board of in
quiry. changed his answer saying he
thought that was right.
• But I want to know that it was right,”
Jlr. Charlton said.
"Yes, sir,” said the witness, "it is
richt.” Another question similar in tenor
tvis nsked, and he replied that it was
correct, that he had been told to look first
afier the Interests of the United States
and then he could do what he could to help
the contractors.
The witness said he had reported more
material in the work at times than called
for by the contractor.
■Was there any better than called for
by the specifications?” Mr. Charlton
asked.
"No. sir," he replied emphatically. He
said he knew Assistant Engineer A. S.
Cooper.
"Do you know his general reputation
for truth and veracity?" was asked.
On an objection from Col. Barr, the
question was withdrawn.
1 will ask if there is any instance in
which Mr. A. S. Cooper falsified against
you?” Mr. Chariton asked.
Mr. Twiggs repfied that he 41d, and told
of charges preferred against him by Coop
er for disobeying orders in digging into
Marsh Island too far. Capt. Carter in
formed him of these charges, and he had
told him A. S. Cooper "lied.” Capt. Car
ter then reproved him for so talking of
"his assistant engineer. He said he had
never had any conversation with Cooper
on the subject until about two weeks ago,
when Mr. Cooper told him he had not
reported him as Capt. Carter stated, but
that he had reported a mistake in the
work.
“He said he had not reported me for dis
obedience to orders.”
"Up to two weeks ago you were of the
opinion, then, that Mr. Cooper had lied?”
was asked.
“Yes, sir; that was my belief; but Mr.
Cooper has informed me differently, and
it is now merely a question of veracity be
tween Mr. Cooper and Capt. Carter. I
am out of It.”
Mr. Twiggs said Capt. Carter had told
h'm to build mattresses and do the work
ir. accordance witl) specifications, but he
had not done so, because he did not
consider that Capt! Carter wanted it done.
Capt. Carter, he said, was on the works,
and saw what was being done and did
not correct it. That was the reason, liv
said, that he did not require the specifi
cations to be carried out.
Col. Barr nsked the witness about the
charges preferred against him by Mr.
Cooper. Capt. Carter, Mr. Twiggs said,
had a memoranda from which he read to
him. or, at least, he supposed it was a
memoranda. He did not know whethei
it was given to him by Mr. Cooper, and
ns a matter of fact did not know whether
f ipt. Carter had any memoranda at all
or not.
Mr. 8. M. Hale, inspector, surveyor and
r' order on Savannah harbor,was the next
witness. He had beep on the works off
mid on since 1891. He Had had experience
with fascines in Augusta under Capt. Car-.
’■ r and here under Capt. Gillette. He
" ls 'ast under Capt. Carter June 7, 1897,
and was afterward employed by Capt. Gil
• ' tteon Aug 1. He was sent by Capt. Gil
“ ite to the mattress camps on Hilton
!l ‘ :■] to inspect and look after the con
m ruction of mattresses. He had required
1 contractors to put on double strands
‘'• Hith yarn because they had no wire or
tarred rope. There was no comparison,
' ;t id. between fascines and those bun
o.es of brpsh.
Ihe witness said his instructions from
aid. Gillette were to build the fascines
in accordance with specifications, these
• ng the same under which he had seen
ai.-i'ines made in Augusta. He then de
•'crdi'd the making of a mattress in ac
cordance with the specifications. The
“'ltresses used on the works, he said,
“ did not consider up to specifications,
he cost of a single course mattress built
'lording to specifications, he said, was
'•'out $167.75, or about 33 cents per square
:■ . ■ I[ ' s estimate of the cost of the
•!'tresses that went into the work was
1 o a 13 cents per square yard.

other work have you don© since
then, besides work on this Carter case?”
was asked.
I wa.s down at Fernandlna on a survey,
getting a cross profile of the work there,”
was the reply.
“Mas not that also for use in the Carter
case?” Mr. Charlton asked.
The witness said first, he did not know
what the profile was to be. used for, but
afterwards stated the profile was intend
ed for evidence in the Carter case. He
had also surveyed or aided in surveying
the breakwater. He had been employed
on the Carter case, he said, ever since
the matter came Jtp, with the exception
of two or three days when he was fixing
some tide gauges. He said lie had seen
several people with regard to the Carter
case under instructions from Capt. Gil
lette. He did not know exactly how he
was carried on the pay roll, but thought
as inspector and surveyor.
Col. Barr took up the witness on the
redirect examination. Col. Barr was pres
ent when Mr. Hale was informed as to
what a military fascine was, and was talk
ing with him about the evidence he was
to give. He brought out the witness'
knowledge of the work he had charge of
and the witness was then dismissed.
Mr. E. A. Geiseler, assistant engineer
in the United States engineer office was
the next witness sworn. He said he had
been employed in the engineering dis
tiict since 1889 with the exception of a
year and a half, during which he served
in the Tjnited States engineer’s in St
Augustine.
“Mattresses, fascines and stone," he
said, “wore the principal articles used in
the works here. I am familiar with the
specifications.”
He said he had made a revised estimate
of the cost of the mattresses such as were
required by the specifications. The cost
of a log mattress of the first design, he
estimated at 08 cents tier square yard, and
explained how he arrived at his estimate.
The cost of the second design of mattresses
according to specifications he estimated
at 46 4-5 cents, and of the third design 43 1-5
cents a square yard. He was not famil
iar, he said, with the mattresses used un
der the contract of 1896. He had seen those
* n w orks under the contract of
1892 and estimated the cost of them at
11 2-5 cents per square yard. Upon this
estimate also he went into details. The
contract prices for these last mattresses,
he said, were sl.lO per square yard for
Cumberland sound and 95 cents for Sa
vannah.
On the cross examination he said the
construction of mattresses or fascines had
never been a part of his duties, but had
come under his observation. His esti
mates w'er© based on information, most
of which came from other people, and
might, he said, contain.errors.
He had done some work at Cumberland
sound after Mr. Marion Twiggs left. On
his second trip to Pernandlna in October
he went to make a survey of the jetties to
be, used as evidence in the Carter case.
Whn you went down to Fernandina did
Capt. Gillette tell you to look up the cred
itors of the contractors and see what in
formation you could get from them?” was
asked.
"Capt. Gillette gave me a pencil mem
orandum, asking me to look up the credit
ors of the contractors,” was the reply.
“What did you reply to that?” Mr
Charlton asked.
“I answered him by letter,” Mr. Giese
ler said, "and told him he could find that
out to better advantage, perhaps, by ad
vertising in the newspapers.”
“Didn’t you say anything else?” was
asked.
“Yes, sir. I told Capt. Carter that that
was not in my line, that I could not do
such things; that is, I was not an expert
in such things," Mr. Gieseler said.
“Did you not teil him that you were not
a detective?" was asked.
“I think I di say 1 was not in the de
tective line, or that I was no't gifted as
a detective, or something like that,” was
the reply. 'Mr. Gieseler also stated that
he was directed by Capt. Gillette to look
into the Hutchison’s Island matter in con
nection with the Carter case.
‘‘Were you required to do anything else
in connection with the prosecution which
you declined to do?" was asked.
“Yes, but I cannot recall what it was
now r . was something entirely harmless,
but what it was 1 don’t recall now,” was
the reply.
“Did not the terms bundles of brush and
military fascines spring up after Capt.
Gillette came here?” was asked.
“Yes, sir,” was the reply.
"Where did you first get your Idea cf
a military fascine?” Mr. Charlton ask
ed.
“It was explained by Capt. Gillette,”
was the reply. “I got from him all I've
ever heard about military fascines.”
"Which fascine do you regard the best
for this work?” was asked.
"I don't believe in Capt. Gillette's mili
tary fascine at all, for work of this kind,"
was the answer. "I believe that fascine is
best which has the greatest number of
small twigs ahd leaves, but in both cases
they should be well choked. I prefer the
brush fascine because it holds better to
the bottom, catches the silt better and
builds up better.”
The witness said the work had accom
plished what was sought, the depth of the
river being increased since 1889 from 19 to
26 feet at mean high water. The result
had been attained within the appropria
tion and within the estimate of the pro
ject.
On the redirect examination he said he
had a good deal to do with the project
and estimates for the contract of 1892, but
Capt. Carter was responsible for it, of
course. He considered himself competent
to make such an estimate, even though
not familiar with all the details.
The specifications say “well trimmed
brush,” but he did not think that meant
that all the leaves and twigs should be
stripped off. Fascines could be well trim
med without that. He would leave twigs
and leaves on them to some extent, he
thought. Nevertheless, he thought the
trimming should be put in the specifica
tions as was done, because projecting
branches should be trimmed off, and also
outside leaves. The stuff on the jury plat
form he considered all right for fascines,
if properly choked. It would take two of
those bundles to make a specification fas
cine, and they ha-1 been so used by the
contractors in some instances. The brush
did not present now the same appearance
as when cut. . .
Mai. Stanton asked if a man making
“ <1 would understand what well trim
med meant. Mr. Geiseler thought so
but did not think it was as clear as it
should be. Inquiries upon points in the
specifications and contract were frequent
tv made by contractors who wanted to
b'd he said, but he did not remember
whether special Inquiries had been made
upon the point as to the fascines being
well trimmed. Such information, he said,
was always given by Capt. Carter him
self but he had never hail any conversa
tion with Capt. Carter upon that point.
••Was it not in reply to the question by
Capt. Gillette as to how business could
hHVf - been conducted in the manner it
had been without you having discovered
it that vou answered you were not a de
tective?” was asked by the court.
“Yes, I think it was," was the repl>.
"Did not you say that when Capt. Gil
lette told vou to see the creditors of the
contractors?” Mr. Candler asked.
‘•You are entirely mistaken. Capt. Gil
lette never told me anything of the kind.
He made a request of me in writing as I
told you before and I answered it, Mr.
Gieseler said. k ..
This concluded the examination
witness, and Col. Barr announced that
he had nothing further to present to the
court at that time. Witness Cooper want
ed his testimony of the day befhre read
over to him. which was done by Col.
Cann court stenographer. There were
no material corrections made.
