The defalcations discovered discov-ered are as follows: Sinking fund, $GU,000; treasurer's office, SfJS,000; tax commissioner, $33,000; education fiintl, $90,000; Bridge & Co.; about 91,000,000. McClurc, who is at the head of the treasury ring, Fowler, who had the board of city works, and McLaughlin, of the tax oliicc, are roundly denounced every where. Rodman was put in jail after a partial par-tial examination. It is well known that he will not be punished. The corporation council protects the ring by instituting a criminal charge instead in-stead of a civil suit, against Rodman, and thus conceals facts which would otherwise come out. The Mayor, also of the ring, makes the complaint in this form to conceal the truth. |
