SUGAR FRAUDS.
WEIGHING OF RAW SUGAR AT . CUSTOMS. By Teletrraph—Press Association-OopyrieM New York, May 26. In connection with the charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States Customs brought against Charles R. Hciko, treasurer of the Sugar Trust, further evidence was given by Oliver Spitder, ex-dock: superintendent of tho Trust (whom President Taft pardoned and released from prison). Spitdor, in his former evidence, said that signals were used to warn the weighers of the Trust's imported raw sugar (on which duty was. payable) if Government inspectors approached. The correct weights were then takon for a time.
Further examined, witness testified that his own confession of the part lift took in the frauds had been delayed until now because he did not wish to involve one of tho Havemeyora (sugar refiners), who is now dead.
