The Whislkey Frauds.

ORIGIN OF THE RING AS TOLD BY MEMBER OF 1T
HOW THE FRAUD WAS coNDUcTED-pRoFITs
&C.
In the trial of ex-Supervisor John Mcdonald
at st. Louis, Tuesday, for frauds upon the
Government, man named McGrue member
OF the Ring. was put upon the stand He testi-
fled that III 1871, while he was residing in Gin
clnnatl as 1evenue agent, he received letter
from Cen Mcdonald telling him that il he would
come to st. Louis he would find job in which
there was large amount OF money. He imme-
diately went to st. Louis and met Mcdonald aDd
Joyce, who then told him that they proposed to
organize ring with distillers to defraud the
Government out OF the tax. Tie distillerB were
to be protected in running and making Illicit
whisky on condition that they gave certain
portion OF the taxes saved to certain parties.
McGrue entered into the scheme and without
delay, by direction of Mcdonald and Joyce,
called upon and had satisfactory interviews with
certain live dlstillers, the largest in st. Louis.
These were Revis, Frazer, Thompson, Curran,
and Ulrci.
The distillers were assured that they would be
protected by the Government officials in rum
ming in violation OF law OH the conditions men,
toned, the money to be collected every Satur-
day, the weekly average being about $500.
This money was taken by him and carried to the
Office of Mcdonald, where it was divided in
equal parts between Mcdonald, Joyce, Collector
Ford, and William Mckee.
A certain amount from each was reserved,
which was delivered to John Leavenworth, the
guager. who divided it out as stipened among
the guagers and store-keepors, all of whom were
necessarily involved in the Ring, as it was i'm
possible to remove the "crooked" whiskey from
the distlleries without their connivance. One
hundred dollars per week was paid to Chief
Clerk Avery, Of Washington, until he complained
that the amount was too small, and then it WAS
increased to 5000. The gaugers were generally
paid II. 80 for each barrel, but frequently they
were paid as much as SO.
Moirue said that he had individually realized
about $4,000 or 100000 from his connection
with the Ring, but had subsequently lost it by
stock specuations in New York.

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-03-13

The warm weather of yesterday is a good
evidence of the arrival of spring and the
establishment of its balmy influence at an
early day. 1t is true that the new season will
have to assert it's supremacy through pro-
tracted equinoctial battle With the old, in
which there must be many fluctuations of
fortune till the middle of next month; but
the change OF temperature during the last
week has been very marked oil over the
country and is of the highest significance,
especially as connected with the impending
ice floods and freshets in the rivers.
For two or three days the thermometer has
remained above the freezing point, with
scarcely any interruption, even at night in
most parts of the Middle States. This has
been the case in this city, where, since Sun
day last, mild, melting weather has prevailed
and the average diurnal temperature has been
above 32 degrees. 1t is hardly likely that the
next day or two can be cold enough to arrest
the process of liquefaction now going on over
the snow-clad country drained by the Della
ware, Hudson, Susquehanna and their tribu-
taries. Whatever dangers, therefore, there
may have been from floods in these streams
they are now increased, and If the situation
called for caution during the first of the week
it now demands the closest watching
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-03-13

II Governor Tilden, Mayor Wickham and
John Kelly, the triumvirate who now control
the destinies of New York, will only learn one
lesson from New Hampshire and devote them
selves to the building up and strengthening of
the city they will give their party power
they bid fair to squander. The three points
that New York city requires to stimulate its
growth are:-First, rapid transit; second. the
Brooklyn Bridge; third, the Jersey Tunnel.
Already we have rapid transit from Forty
second street to Harlem and from Thirty
fourth street to the Battery. Now, have we
not genius enough to connect this link SO as
to enable our citizens, within sixty days,
to 60 from the Battery to Wcstchester
by steam? The Brooklyn Bridge is well
under way. Let us build this work and
then establish steam communication from the
City Hall to all that country lying beyond
Brooklyn. Then let us tunnel the Hudson,
so that the great lines that bring New York so
much of its trade shall not be compelled to
throw their wealth and prosperity into other
States. The time will come when the citizen
of New York will leave his business. enter q
steam car near the City Hall, and select his
route, either for Long Island, Westchester or
New Jersey. Whoever achieves this will do
for New York work only equalled in great
ness by the building of the Erie Canal. And
if our literary statesmen, who are now writing
long letters to each other about trivial matters
of patronage, would rise to the level Of their
duty they would give themselves imperishable
renown and add largely to the strength of
their party.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-03-13

the Spanish government to send back this
wretch to answer for his crime. The argu-
ment that the Cuban Junta exists in New
York, and that, therefore, American murder
ers should be allowed liberty in Havana, would
certainly not for moment weigh in the mind
OF an enlightened Spanish statesman. The
painful fact is this, that the American
government. with all it's power, is not able to
do as much to protect its citizens against
murder as the Bank of England was enabled
to do to protect it's vaults against forger.
