Sandersons Gift His Bargain Prices at State Furnishings Trial
Harrisburg Feb 1 The defense in the state capitol conspiracy suit against contractor Sanderson and former state officers Snyder Mathyes and Shumaker presented expert testimony on furniture measurements. Experts testified Sanderson billed for 44 916 square feet for senate and house furniture, leaving 1092 square feet unbilled. They argued the state would have paid far less under itemized pricing. The case included charges for a booth in the Senate lavatory and other items, with figures showing overcharges and possible savings. The trial resumed after a recess as defense contested quantities and quality with architects and witnesses.
