New NoRK. Dec. 80
Mr. pcckham made the opening speech
for the prosecution. this morning. in the
Hall case. Lifting up huge qualo vol
ume, he said the indictment charged fifty
distinct offenscs under separate heads of
malfcasancc and misiclHnccin office. lie
cited the provisions Of the special statute
constituting the mayor and two other Off
cinls a hoard for auditing claims against
the city. There were claims to the amount
Of SG,3l2,O00 passed by that board. The
bills were Of such character as to bear on
the face Of them proof of their falsity, and
yet Of that sum @j,70i 900 went into the
pockets of lngersol, now in state prison,
Garycy the court house plastercr, and T..
4. Woodward, who finds ii convenient to
be- absent Substantially, the question the
iHry were asked to try was whether the
mayor, as member Of that board Of audit.
Wilfulv neglected his duty in certifying to
those bills when hc had no audited them.
Deputy Comptroller sitorrs WAC the first
witness, and produced resolution
found in the comptrolcrs Office, passed
( by the mayor, Tweed and Connolly,
/ directing their clerk iWoodWard) to collect
the bills and aillX blanks for their action
and signature. The resolution was in the
mayors handwriting and was signed by
him and the other two members Of the
/ commission Of audit, and was dated April
1. 1870. Counsel for defense here, in order
to save time az they said, admitted tie gen
uiuencss Of the ten kcyscr and thirty-four
/ Garvey vouchers Sturrs in answer to n
/ question. said that in the summer of 1871 n
large nGmhCr Of vouchers audited by the
/ comptroller alone under the law of 1868
were missing. About the same time the
! voucher robbery took place. The books
now in court are not in any sense a record
OF the board Of audit, but of the indcpend-
cnt transactions Of the finance department.
/ In July or August. 1871, the mayor and he
/ went over the county liabilities account
and examined the vouchers. Some of the
bills had something written on them show
ing that they had been before the board Of
supervisors, and some were only held by a
pin, and the warrant had been detached.
