leave no moral doubt of your guilt:
Commencing with the organization at
the Board of Audit by the resolution of
the 5 af May, we find that your career
of plunder began on the very next day.
And from that time forward, consecu-
lively, day by day, until the Whole 1870
accounts had been audited, certified war
rants issued, and the money paid, the
evidence is conclusive that every step Of
the proceedings was taken to carry out
a concerted plan to enrich yourself and
those associated with you. 1t there

that on each of these several claims, as
they were passed upon and ultimately
paid, your share of the plumber was
equal, fixed, prescribed evidently at "a
per cent, and the shares of your associ-

similar standard. 1t is impossible to be-
Teve that on the distribution in the 100
cases where the money was received on
these warrants, "a per cent. should al

was understood in advance, by arrange

portion of the moneys of which the
county was to be plundered.
When we see in operation the machin-
cry of an inventive genius and observe
that at each revolution a fixed quantity
of some manufactured article is turned
out, we argue from that result that it is
the work of mind in which thought
and reflection have developed themselves
in that particular form.
And when we see the machinery
through which you operated producing
similar result, always alike in form, it
is impossible not to see that behind its
