OConor does not believe that Mayor
Hall either had dollar or knew what was
going on, but he blameS the Mayor, for
standing by the others, acting as a shield
after the facts were known. The burden

go back to his office on the Board of Public
Works and carry on his former corrupt
transactions. This O'Conor SAYS must be
prevented. Tweed shall have all the inves-
tisation he wants.
