itself to the favor of all Americans. The work
itself is most important. 1t will place within
the reach of thousands otherwise inaccessible
treasures of historical knowledge. 1t will make

Grading Bill of John Gil, of Cleveland
-Fraud, $1,000.
This bill was for $500. 1t is proven
that Mr.. Gill did not do over $40O worth
of grading, at large estimate. Hon. Geo.
7. Barnum, the then Steward of the Asy-
lum, and host of other witnesses, swear
TO that fact. And 81, 900 is charged fcr
mems time that never saw the ground, and
in many cases there were no such men as
were named in the bill. All is abundantly
proven.
Lennon Heating Comtracts-Fraud &c..

This affair can be seen by any one to be
fraud. Mr.. Lennox was to put pipe in
the Asylum equivalent to $4,000 feet of
inch pipe. He has not done this by over
5000 feet, and yet he charges nearly that
amount as extra. The fraud is, as above
by incontrovertible testimony.

This enormous fraud is proven by the
first architects and builders in Ohio. S

have sworn to the facts in positive and
conclusive manner. The Committee have
a world of testimony in the matter. This
fraud is as apparent now as day.
