Brooks appeared before the Mayor with
Haley, and stated that he had paid over TO
Haley 500 more, and they were going to the
Express office to send it to Boston. The
Mayor then asked the boy to Let him see his
money, and on counting it found only $l1S.
Brooks then hesitated, and finally said that
he had the money and would deliver it to the
Express office to send to the boys mother.
The Mayor, suspecting him, went to the Ex-
press Office, found he had not been there, re-
turned and found the boy in charge of the
sergeant and his guard at the City Building.
On asking the boy if he had received the adj
ditional 500, he hesitated; but when told by
the sergeant he had nothing TO fear, but to
tell the truth, telling the Mayor at the same
time that the boy had been inundated, the
boy said that they had not given him a cent.
Brooks still retains the boys money. The
boy left with the last conscripts for the army.
There is no evidence of Brooks ever paying
the S45 to III. Kimball for the stolen goods,
and the owner of the goods states on oath
that Brooks, after paying him $40, exacted
ten of it for his trouble, and he paid it to him.
