In the investigation which ensued it was discovered
that the arrangement OF tho drawing had
been entrusted solely TO parties from New
York. and that all the money obtained from the sale OF
tickets except some So 600 S. oo0 had left in
New York and was not subject TO draft OF tho officers

vor TO such Of the money could be obtained
