THE SECRET ACCOUNTS.
PROOFS OF UNDOUBTED FRAUDS BROUGHT Tc
LIGHT-WARRANTS SIGNED BY HALL AM


ACCOUNT OF INGERsoLL 4 co.
The following accounts, copied with scrupu-
lous fidelity from Controller Connolys books require
little explanation They purport 10 show the amount
paid during 1869 and 1870 for repairs and furniture for
the new Court House. 1t will be that the warrants
are drawn In diersn names, but they all Endorsed
to "Ingersoll Co."-otherwise, j. H. Ingersoll, the
agent Of the Ring. Each warrant signed by Con-
troller Connolly and Mayor Hail. What amount Of money
was actually paid to the persons In whose favor the war
rants were nonindiy drawn have means OF know
ing On the face OF these accounts however II Is clear
that the bulk OF the money somehow or other got back
to the Ring, each warrant would not have been In
dorsed to its agent We undertake to prove whenever
afforded the opportunity, that the following ae-
count Is copied literally from the Controllers books ana
forms part Of the documents to which the public II en-
titled have access The dates given for the work done
obviously fraudulent. For example: On July q 1907
q warrant drawn for furniture supplied for County
Courts and offices from Oct IS to Nov g. 1903 for
On July 1914 days afterward-another warrant was
drawn for s9iO3s for furniture supplied to the same
Offices from Nov to Dec 81 That is to say the bill was
fully paid by the first OF these two warrants down TO
Nov 49, And yet fortnight aterward another warrant
drawn paying the bill over again from Nov T. IT,
obvious that the fictitious dates were not remembered
by the city authorities when these warrants were drawn
Many similar will be observed in the figures given
below 1t will be that day furniture Is sup
posed TO have been supplied to the amount of s12o69 s
at least a warrant for that signed by Hall and
Connolly favor OF c. ID. Boar Co.. and indorsed by
Ingersoll g. Co.
