O'Clock, Mayor Hall issued no orders re-
voking tho order ignoring Comptroller
Connolly and his deputies. The Eueairo
Ne,os says the person who stolo The
vouchers is known, and q warrant is out
for his arrest. The Post adds: ssThe
fact that vouchers were missing, how
ever, was believed, for good reasons, by
the editors Of the Eueniig Post, early in
the present month, and was referred to
in leading article as subject OF inquiry.
1t now appears that tho condition of the
Comptroller's records is even worse than
was supposed. The City Auditor,
through whose hands those vouchers
passed, and who was responsible for their
accuracy, was j. Townsend Connolly.
son OF the Comptroller. He has since
left this country and gone to Europe,
and Mr.. Herring has taken lis plnce.
Up to the time of going to press. we
have not been able to learn whether the
vouchers were missed i'm mediately after
Oonnol1y's sons departure, nor have we
any facts which directly tend to impli-
cate him in the theft. It was said, some
days ago, by men who knew that these
vouchers were missing, that it was de-
signed in the Comptroller's Office to ma
nufacture new vouchers in the place of
these, but we do not find any evidence
that such Is the case; but it is believed
Mayor Hall will make official use of this
robbery. as we'll ns of the latter ono, to
the utmost, for the purpose Of driving
MIR. Connolly from his Office. The De-
partment Of Parks has made requisi-
ton upon Comptroller Connolly for the
money required to meet payments now
due upon the pay rolls of the parks.
This is distinct recognition of Connol-
!y's right to perform the duties of Comp
tEoller."
