This affidavit is confirmed by anothor-whcll
we also published Yesterday, but Will not noa
repest--of Russell J. Brggs, the son referred
to by Mr. Briggs, senior who drew $40 and
some odd cent?" out of which his salary OF Z !!
per mouth was paid. Mr. Hoffman putting - the
rest into his pocket" II was this point on
which We said explanation is badly needed.
The explanation Is not, as yet, forthcoming, but
some further facts appear which make its ne
cessty sill more imperative.
In the Controllers Office is a record OF th,
pay-rolls Of every month. From January Il
November, 1861, they are for each month as
follows:
c. II. Van Brnnt. sss 1s &. =. jenkins r
Wm. ~ Tweed jr... 30 80 ID. r. lusrshnn jt.... ss
Mr.. Geo. W. NJ. Briggs says that il was un'
derstcod that when Mr.. jenkins retired, Mr..
lngraham was to take his place, and young
Briggs to take Mr.. Ingraham's. Accordingly
We find the record Of the next pay-roll-name.
| ly, for Nov, l-GI--tO he as follows:
c. n. Van Brnt....ss3 SD. r. lngshsu, h....sel
wm. 81. Tweed. jr... 81 - Russell J. Brigsa... ~
That is, jenkins goes out, Ingraham takes lis
place, and young Briggs comes in and is charged
on the Controllers books, S43 81 Of which sum
he received, as both he and his father swear
$l2 only. Thcreupon young Briggs ia with
drawn from the Office by his fathers orders.
Accordingly, the next month, December, lsGl
we find the payroll in the Recorders Office to
be as follows:
| C. n Van Brunt...... xtJ "a John r. isHasn d.
Wa. M Tweed ir... 81 = bee boy...........s's !,
ID. Y. InErsbasn. jr.... gal
Briggs disappears, and John 7. Hoffman,
draws $i3 "a for Office boys" and this, We
understand. is the record Of the payroll in said
Office from that time, December, lcG1, to the
present November, 1865, excepting that each
alternate month the record is tbrty.three cents
instead Of thirty -four to make all even sum.
WhcreupOn We remark: that The story Of Brieg5
fatbcr aud son. seems confirmed by the record
that the sum OF $ " and odd cents, out Of which
young Briggs va. paid ~. per month, has been
regularly drawn by Recorder Hoffman for each
month ior the last five years, ostcnsibly for the
payment Of Office boys; and that during the
same period $3.50 have been drawn monthly
from the City Treasury for the payment Of thrc,
other persons in she Recorder Office. And We
AJAX: Has there been paid more than 3! Il
or IS per week for the services Of an office boy
