Il RETURN SYSTEM
Of Bwindtng began. Tho contractors Ind moved
tho lobbyists forward, up to tho very parapet
noarly two years ho aeyer know tint tho ninea
were opened beneath htB feet. Tho lobbyists
wero now 10 countotmarch up to tho pockets OF
Doaollyer, Il McOellnnd. steal tho bribory-
rupt and driving Col. Moore out Of the conf
donoo and tho businoHs firm Of hfr. Shepherd.
Tho following we're tho movements in reverse !:
6. Klrtialsd secures $72, 600 In notos Of hand
tst, Ohittenden, which tho latter presumed were
to bocomo tho property Of Kirkland, Moore,
and, ,porbarg, Shepherd.
Q. Kirtiand, aware that do!aY will breed dan
gerB, Boeka ut onco to discount tho notes but
meets with Indifferent succese, until l,e inds
McClo]1and's banker, Ira Holmes, at Chicago,
who proceeds to take Kirtland to his house and
entertain INN, and finally gotg the bulk Of tho
notes at cloan Bhayo OF SO per cent, inclusive
Of some common place Chicago real estato. Ho

mouths ag9' .o and aon with expensive living moro
nwindled him, llo bud not enough money last

Lot us now return to Chittendon, who is all
tho ttmo auppoaing that Mrtlana DISCOUNTED
the attorneys first employed tllo reminder Of the
mysterious $D7, 900. which has beon the subject
Of cavil all over the land, and for himself re-
ceivcs nn interest with Dc GolIyer McC!ellanl,
which has presumably yielded him about $4,000
thing at tho Washington eud is lovely, and 30 do
De Gollyor 4: Mc0lolland. Less 30 does Ira
Holmes, who, III despite OF hts testimony hore,
that lie aeked 10 incisive questions Of Kirkland,
afraid that tloy would be answered, and 10 bo
made critninally awaro Of q work Of bribery,
knew perfectly Tell that such was tho secret Of
tho notes. Ho proceeded to use tho Cook
County National bank to redBcount some Of
these notes, aud noantilno tho Washington
authorities held Do Gollyer Il MoOolland to
buch rigid execution Of their work, that thoy
wore constantly piuchcd.
