NEW YoRK, Nov. ls.-W. @. Barrey,
charged with being implicated in the
fraud 10 withdraw 5000 barrels Of
alcohol from the United States bonded
store.house by q fictitious bond, pub
fishes lengthy letter In the Express
He states that the charge Is talse In
every particular. That the alcohol was
not taken from the U. s. bonded ware
house nor seized on board the Lighter,
but was seized In the bonded ware
house in Brooklyn. That the seizure
was Illegal and the o. 8. had not been
defrauded, nor could not have been I'M
less by the revenue officer. He then
gives 4 statement OF the safeguard plac-
Cd around goods in bond. He says the
alleged attempt to defraud the Govern
ment IL absurd. His explanation Of the
bond and mode OF receiving them
seems rather more Of form than a &c.
curity, The clerk who takes the sigma
ture TO the bond has no mode OF Know
ling tnpy Hre genuine, but tho paStP
signing his name Is accredited by oath
before the deputy collector. It Is not
the practice TO require parties to be
Identified. He sayS It IL well known
that tens Of Thousands OF bonds,
amounting to hundreds of millions Of
dollars, now on file In tho Custom
House, having the names Of parties as
securities known ut the time they signed
the bonds not to be worth dollar. j,
AS 10 the particular bond for alcohol
alleged fictitious, he says, the person
calling himself Richard Clancy signed
three entries and swore TO them. II
fictitious in bonds must also DO fictitious
In tho entries, and tho deputy collector
who administered the oath 70 him al
lowed the fictitious name and gave his
sanction to the signature.
The prosecution produced n witness
who identified Richard Clancy as The
party who signed tho bond, and gays he
prepared the entries for Clancy, saw
him sign the same, and there Is inten'
ded fraud.
Barrey concludes by saying the NIB
surdIty Of the prosecution is apparent
and says he can, at the proper time
make i perfectly satisfactory oxplana'
ton.
