and Charles Swnt, in hack TO Saunder-
sons Hotel, at which place he, Havens,
entered a fictitious name upon the books
that Havens saw him pay Swint five
hundred dollars of the money HaVens
brought on TO him, for which money he
stated that he took Swint's receipt, which
receipt he showed to me, deponent-he
also stated that Havens we'll knew the OBJ
iect for which that money was paid to
Swint; that HaVens the next morning re-
turned to New York. Glentworth also
stated that Noah Cook, of the city OF New
York, brought men down from Albany,
and changed their clothing to enable them
to, and that that they did 60 TO different
Wards to vote, and that Noah Cook was
at that time a member of Assembly-that
this was in the year 1880; and he also
said that Noah Cook aided in changing
the Dresses of men, that they might vote
in different wards, and that Noah Cook
took an active part in the arrangements
thus made for the November election of
lS3S-that William C. Lawrence and ].
Nathan were the Secretaries and aids in
the upper committee room of the Nation
al Hall, in directing and sending out the
men to different Wards.
That one Ropert Looney,o of Philadelphia,
had also sent on men from Philadel lphia
to vote, who, after they arrived in this city,
we're sent out to the Aims house, where
one Marble, who was at that time employ
ed, then took charge of them--that NJ :
Ardle is now keeper at the Debtors
prison-that the superintendent of the
shoemakers' department knew this TO be
true, as we'll as the physician of the Aims
House-that Bella Badger, of Philadel-
phia, was concerned with him in the busi-
ness, land he corresponded with him Glen
worth under the assumed name of George
W. Rhawn, TO whom letters were directed,
No 293 North Second Street, Philadelahia,
being the house of a confidential friend
of Badger's-lhat Armstrong j. Homer
felt, sailmaker, Al Peck Alley, brought
or sent on to New York, in April, 1899,
upwards of twenty men, and that he was
paid twenty five or thirty dollars per man
for their voting in different wards of this
city-that 10 convince deponent of the
truth of his assertion, he handed this de-
ponent three letters, purpOrting 10 be
written TO him by George W. Rhawn, which
we're, as he alleged, in truth written to him
by said Bella Badger, which letters are
hereunto annexed dated respectively I'd,
9Th and 9th of April, lS39-that he also
showed me two receipts of Charles Swint,
one dated the Sth of April, 1889, for five
hundred dollars, and one the 9th of April
of the same year, for five hundred and
twenty-five dollars-also, three several
receipts of John Saunders, amounting to
nine hundred dollars, dated the 9th of
April, 1889, and one other of Robert
Looney, dated in April of the same year,
for seven hundred dollars, and a great
many other receipts, all (which appear
ed to be, and deponent believes were, ori-
ginal receipts, amounting to, in the ag-
gregate, as Glentworth said, to between
seven and nine thousand dollars, all Of
which had been thus expended, for pro.
curing fraudulent votes from Philadel-
phia, all of which money he alleged had
been furnished to him by the whig party,
or persons belonging to that party, for
this purpose. That upon the disclosures OF
these facts to deponent, by said Client
worth, and unwilling to believe, notwith-
standing the evidence so produced the
truth ofthis acknowledgment determln-
ed that he would proceed TO Philadelphia,
and if possible, have an interview with
the persons named. To this end, deponent
took from GIentworth, letter directed
to Mayor Swift, of Philadelphia, of which
the following is a copy" Dear Sir:
the bearer is entitled to your fullest con-
6dence-James B.Glentworth;" and with
this letter proceeded from this city on
the nth of October, instant, and on the
evening OF that day waited on COL Swift,
Mavor of Philadelphia, at his house, No.
lO1. South Tenth st. and delivered the
letter to him, and thereupon said to him,
after he had read the letter, that the OBJ
iect of deponent's visit was to make
similar arrangements with those made by
Gentworth, in the fallof 1888, and spring
of 1889, and asked him il he could aid
him. He, Swift, said he would. | then
asked where could find Miller and Young
his deputies. He replied, that they were
engaged on special duty that evening, but
ifI would come to his Office between nine
and ten o'clock in the morning, he would
