money, bonds, and other securities, together
with the account books. which he placed in
the CRATE and set on fire. 1t Is estimated
that the value of the securities burned was
about 800, 600, of which perhaps SAC. 900 can
be recognized aad saved. 1t is supposed

called, is in selling $4,000 of stock to eleven
members of Congress at the same price
paid for it, and at the same price l sold the
same stock to others, and If the parties
purchasing the stock had simply told the
truth, and said they had right to purchase
it, that would have been the end of it; but
