How TREASURER SOoY FELL.-The Daily
/ FREEDMAN N. j. reviews the career of SOoy,
The deIaultlDg state treasurer OF New Jersey,
and thus points out the cause OF his ruin:
The question arises, why has he fallen, and
how Go you account for his delinquency? AS
we fnttmated In former article, the cause
can be traced to bad habits into which he
has fallen OF iate-the use of Intoxicating
liquors and nceDtious assOciateS-yes, wine
and women of disreputable character have
proved too much for this old man, and ruined
him after long life OF usefulness and honor.
For several months past he has almost aban-
doned most worthy and resp ectable family,
including wife, sons and daughters grown TO
mans estate and associated with characters
the vilest of the vile. For weeks together
during the past six months his family and
friends did not know where to find him, and
the public business has seriously suffered on
account thereof Time and again he would
be hunted up by his bondsmen and friends,
and adnonished as to the shameful course he
was pursuing, when he would promise to do
better, but he would Immediately fall back
again into his evil courses"
