In humber s, published in the Journal Of the llth

the testimony elected in the trial of
otherwise known rs the Water works ring. Accord

Just brought To the attention oil the reading public
enable to clear yourself oil the charge Of mis-
representation, 10 use no stronger term. You know
that IL has been stated upon your authority that YOU
had held the $4,000 Of stock you
originally crelited with the books Of The
Water Works Company Ia conssqu euce OF a solemn
pledge 80 10 do. Now, the question Is, when YOU
Traded 5000 of Wa;er-works stock Tor $4,000 of
rolling mill stock did you use the extra $4,000 of
Water-works stock, for which l had not heretofore
gwen you credit, IN paying for your rolliag mill
stock, aud by doing leave your y55 100 Of Water
works stock with which you have always been cred
tied on the books of the company intact, did you
pay for the rolling mill stock out of the old original
S35O00f IL all appears to have been original how
ever.
Although you traded $4,000 Of wster-works stock
for $1,000 Of rollinsmi stock, you yet appear To
own Ina your nasne S35 900 OF waler-works stock
which Is all thai had heretofore charged you with
owning But then $4,000 extra is not much, Is H.,

To Hi, Eroelkncy Thomas A. Hendricks, Governor:

Your attention is respectfully called the follow
ing from the opinion Of Judge Blair, OF the
Superior Court OF Marion County, regarding Thomas
A. Hendricks and Compzny's Wxtsr-works confidence
game The Court said:
gwen this branch of the careful atteu-
tou and Investigation. AZ is apparent from the evil
dence now before the Court that the canal possessed
auy value IL very small la comparison with the
amount Of stock issued upon its basis. The Water
purchase aud issue stock in payment for IL, but the
amount so issued, be consistent with honesty OF
purpose the part OF The corporation, should be
reasonably proportionste 10 the actual value OF the
canal. The agreement itself under which the canal
purchased and the stock issued casts such
suspicion upon the Transaction that Court, whea APP
pesed to- would look carefully the rights OF all the
parties then interested If there any who did not
IL and who ght be injured by IT, In fact
IL can hardly be claimed that IL could be sustained
against such parties ON any principles consistent with
perfect good faith.
'The consideration named In the deed Of conveyance
by which the canal passed to the Water
works company was y20.0Vo. This was
certainly far above any value that
the canal, under any view Of the evidence, can
be found possess STOCK the amount OF $500 900
issued recei wing the conveyance Of the canal
OF the In the canal received $3.50 000
and by the terms of the agreement, the defendants
were to receive $3.50 00e-sl0.000 when IL was first

one-haf Of the stock originally issued Was, by the
of the agreement, to come, and did come. back
the defendants authorized its issue IL did not
come back to the Waler-works Company 10 be cam
ceed aud stock reduced that amount but TO b
appropriated by the defendants 10 their own use.

The charges contained in the following inter
view with Gen. George 4. McGinnis, originally
published in the GAZETTE on the 10th Of March
last, have never been answered or noticed by
Governor Hendricks. Sufficient corroborative
evidence has since been published to induce Us
to believe that Mr.. Hendricks is guilty Of what
is charged against him, and more too.

To His Erceeacy Thomas A. Hendricks, Governor, ETC.
In what particular does your connection With TIA
indianapolis Water-worss COmpanys svindle differ
from ex-inister schencks connection with the Emma
Mine swindieT Ia your you accepted S35 900 of
water-works stock for the use oil your name and ON
account Of your influence and position, which YOU
did not pay, and knew you would be called
upon 10 paw any money. In Mr. Schenck's case, IL
appears that he accepted large s,nount Of stock in
the Emma Mine, on which he claims
to have invested large amount Of money
showing that ne had some faith IN the in
yestnent rs an honest business transaction. Your
failure To invest any portion Of your means In Water
works stock is evidence that knew
a fair and honest business Transaction or n
safe for you TO invest in
As 10 the honesty II the two transactions II sp-
pears to that Mr.. Schenck has decfed sd vantage
over you, as he showed mis- faith in the Emma Mine
by investing his money, while you showed your lack
Of fsith In Wateworks by OF the fact that
