promise.
From information received through
most authentic source, il has been as.
certained that r. r. Connolly, or his
friends, actually rendered, on the day
before Thanksgiving, $l,O0O,OOO cash
to counsel for the people, on condition
that he should be released from all
prosecution in the suit upon which he
was under arrest. Some OF the counsel
for the people were in favor Of the
acceptance of the money for and on
account OF the people, on the ground
that Connolly had not acted so contu-
maciously as Tweed and Hall, but had
allowed an opportunity for the usurpa-
ton of the books in the Comptroller's
office; but others refused 10 agree to
any proposition that would lead to an
abandonment of the suit pending. The
offer was madejust previous to Connol-
Tvs removal to Ludlow street Jail.
