terror counties Of the District.
District Attorney Dyer opened the
case by stating that he would show
that Mckee was member Of the
ring: that he was taken into the ring
because of his influence at Washing
ton, and in the palmy days OF the ring
he controlled one OF the principal
party organs there. lit would also be
shown that the money received from
the distillers, after the storekeepers
and gangers had been paid, was
divided into five parts.McDonald

TO divide with the collector. 1t would
also be shown that from 1871 to 1873
each of these bcneficiarics realized
about forty thousand dollars from the
stealings. He would also show that
extensive frauds had been pcrpetra-
ted by the sale OF government stamps
