HENRY D. COOKE AND THE REFORM
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY Il, 1875.

HENRY D. COOKE AND THE REFORM
ScuooL FUNDs.-The Speaker laid before the
Hous, of Representatives yesterday letter
from the Attorney General 10 answer to reso'
luton of January D. 1875, 10 relation to what
action il any, has been taken to recover from
Henry D. Cooke, late treasurer of the Reform
School of the District of Columbia. the sum OF
s3l,772 90 involved 10 the bankruptcy OF Jay
Cooke & Go. The Attorney General incloses
a LARGE number Of letters in relation to the
matter, and among them is one dated August
90, 1874, directed to H. D. Cooke, in which
the Attorney General says:
'sThesc funds were moneys OF the OHlted
States entrusted to you as treasurer OF the ne
form School, which made you the dlsbursng
Officer of the government, and | further invite
,m,r attention to section l6 of the act OF Au-
gus, 6, 1916, defining the crime of embczsle'
meut. | am compelled, as it seems to me, by
the above cited statute, to require without un.
necessary delay an adjustment and payment OF
the moneys in which you are deilnquent as
treasurer of the Reform School 10 the Distinct
of Columbia, otherwise it would seem to be
nv duty 10 institute such prosecution 10 re-
spect to the matter as public Justice may re-
quirc."
On November 2S, 1874, the Attorney Gen
eral directed VIM. McMichae, United States
Attorney at Philadelphia, to institute such pro-
cccdiups as would cause the recognition OF the
claim of the United States as preferred claim
by the bankruptcy commissioners January
%. 1875, MIR. McMichael replies, aud says the
claim is still pending. 1t was disputed, how
ever, by the committee of creditors OF Jay
Cookies estate. The case is to be assigned Tor
argument before the court.
The Baltimore American says if the credl-
tors icsist that this is only claim against the
estate, and that the Government must be sat
isfed with pro rata distribution as other cred
i,ors, Mr.. Cooke will probably be prosecuted
for embe zzement. II they consent to give up
the money, there will be no further trouble.
