The Specifications against Tweed.
The Tribune publishes tomorrow the

arrest in criminal suits will probably fol-
| low at once. The application for arrest
will probably be made in Albany county.
The Tribune says: The fraudulent trans
| actions which are the subject of the con-
templated suit began in the passage OF sec
| ton 4 of the county tax levy of 1870,
creating the Board of Audit, and providing
| for the payment of claims and liabilities
against the city and county thereby. The
/ board consisted of Mayor Hall, Controller
! Connolly and Tweed.
! The Board never had but one meeting,
which did not last fifteen minutes. The
record was then made upon the minutes
4 of a resolution reported drawn and read
by Mayor Hall and said to be in his hand
writing, that instead of auditing claims or
liabilities, in plain violation of law Auditor
Watson should collect together all claims
and certificates of VIM. NJ. Tweed Presi-
dent of the Board, and the Supervisors, OF
Joseph B. Young, Secretary of the same
Board, should be the evidence re,
uuired to enable the claim to be paid
The tickets accompanying the deposits
are in the handwriting of Woodward, Sec
retary of the old Board. The teller of the
Broadway bank swOre that they were gene
rally made by Woodward in person.
Tweed received a handsome aggregate OF
l,037, 1924.
The complaint is accompanied by tables
and schedules of city warrants, tickets OF
deposit and other documents, indorsed by
Tweed, the Woodwards and Others, showing
how large sums of moneys have passed III
to their hands.
The correctness of these tables is certifies
to by an affidavit by S. j. Tilden, who
swears he personally traced and examined
| them.
