rOSTMASTEK MIXTO EXPLAINS
AWAY CEKTAIX TESTIMONY.
f-aya Ncgrra Porter Gave Him Writ
ten Order to Hold Out $16 From
Salary to . Pay Doctor.
Ou. Waterford. the neicro porter who
was once nnplmed In the Postofflce. and
who testified Thursday night during th
SUrsus hearinfe. before I'nlted States
Commissioner Cannon, that while he was
employed at the Postofflce Mr. Mlnto had
deducted J18 a month out of his salary,
hut could not remember what tor. has
not as good a memory as Postmaster
Minto. The way Waterford gave his
testimony would leave the Impression
that the money deducted was a sort of
Kraft, and this Postmaster Minto keenly
resents. It Is said Waterford knew when
he testified why the money was t&ken
rut of his salary and he knew that It
went to pay a doctor's bill and he also
knew that he had given the Postmaster
a written order to withhold the J16 from
his salary.
In seaklng of the Waterford matter
and of the testimony of Miss Bollman.
who testified that she bad made certain
char.gea in the books, the Postmaster
said:
The testimony riven there that any erae
ores or alteration were made Is absolutely
tale. The facta tn the ease are these:
When the Government Invoices were en
tered and chanted up on the books, as they
should be. a discrepancy ia the stock In the
basement wa RMindt and after checking It
over several .-tinea to be absolutely cer
tain, and with the advice and consent of
tno Inspectors, and supposing that the money
was In the bank. Mr. Shipley and mjself In
structed Miss Bc-Uroan to charse this amount
off on ker books, which made the stock
account and the books . balance. . She had
put these flrures In in red Ink. 1. Insisted
that she put them In In black Ink. the same
as other transactions In the book, so that
it would appear as a legitimate transac'lon.
which It was. There were no ng-ures erased
or changed. X remarked at the time that I
did rot want the books to show to the In
spectors as though we were In any wsy
tampering with the accounts, but they
should show a proper transaction. Miss
Bollman so marked the books. That is all
there is In regard to the erasures or chang
ing of figures referred to In the report of
Thusday's Investigation.
I notice that August Wsterford testified
that I retained a part of his salary for sev
eral months against his wllL He also stated
that be did not know what I did with It.
This is sbsolutely untrue, aa can be easily
proved.
Waterford was compelled to go to the hos
pital and undergo an operation. Dr. Keeney
performed the operation; and after Water
ford was well and had returned to his work
he gave Dr. Keeney an order on me for the
bill, in which the order stipulated that I
was to hold for Dr. Keeney 1 a month
until bis hill of about was paid. This
I did and not a cent of money was ever
retained by me for any other purpose.
Dr. Keeney made the following: state
ment regarding the money held out
from Waterford's salary each month :
That ths public may know the racts I
wish to correct some statements made by
Gus Waterford. In his testimony In the
Charles A. Straus case yesterday and pub
lished In The Oregonian. Waterford stated
Mr. Minto deducted a certain amount
of his salary each month and that he did
not know why It was held out. but that It
waa I desire to say that the above state
ment Is a malicious lie and Intended only
to Injure Mr. Minto and bring him Into a
transaction that he had nothing to do
with.
I oireted on Waterford May 21. 190T.
and tn order to get my pay for services
rendered it was necessary to write an order
to the Postal Department Instructing them
tn retain a certain amount of his monthly
salary. Mr. Waterford signed the order,
and It was left in the .office of the cashier,
Charles A. Straus. I desire to exoner
ate Mr. Minto. as he had absolutely noth
ing to do with the case. Mr. Waterford
also states that he was not dismissed on
account of intoxication. If he was not, he
should have been, for he was drinking
most of the time. H. I. KEENEY.
