THE EVIDENCE AGAINST SWEENY.

Peter b. Sweeny is indicted, it will be seen
Jointly with Tweed, Hugh smith, and James NJ. Sweeny
for conspiracy. The evidence which submitted TO
the Grand Jury of the most startling and conclusive
character There good why the facts in de-
tal should not be published, but it is not too much TO
say that Peter SweeDys share Of the Board OF Audit
plunder has been traced TO him through his brother
as directly that OF Tweed tracked
through Ebert A. Woodward. Tweed's share
of that spoil will he remembered, something over
81 100000 Mr. Sweeny has had TO be content with only
One-ha that amount S5SO0 about 10 per cent OF the
whole fraud. The evidence traces this amount in
small sums having been placed IN the Mas
sau Bank by T. A. Woodward to the credit OF James NJ
Swecny. Every single dollar Of these deposits has been
traced Just directly into the hands of tue brother
Peter b. sweeny. AS illustrating the completeness OF
this work IL is allowable 10 state that one deposit OF
$50 600 was traced Woodward through the Nassau
Bank James NJ. Sweeny's name. thence through the
Bank North America and the banking house OF Dun
