recital by Edward Hagen Of the particulars of the
cape OF Mr. Tweed, the proceedings were rather
monotonous, comprising a further rehearsal OF the
same old story by James II. IngersolL His examna-
ton opened with description OF the manner in which
he kept his books. he asked If he knew where
Woodward and other members OF the Ring were. He
said he did not when he deposited his money on the
ordinary printed forms he made out deposit tickets;
the name OF Bolar similar 10 Conrad Bolar, who
worked for him; A. j. Smith furnished MIN
with window shades and sometimes in making
out bills he changed the initials; A. G. Miller was IN
tended to be Adam Miller who furnished him with
desks; Halscy h Co. furnished him coal on his order
for the city; other bills in the names OF Keyser
Co, Archibald Hall, Seymour Kennard Hay, Lock-
wood, j. W. Smith John NJ b Davidson and G. H.
Jacobus; Woodward calculated the percentages on
these bills and witness aided him in doing IT. he didn't
remember seeing Woodward indorse any Of the war
rants except Keyser Co. g; he received about four
seventies OF the face OF the bills, which gave MIN
profit OF hundred per cent
This closed the direct examination, and Mr.. David
Dudley Field Immediately commenced the cross-ex-
Ingersollis afRdavit was then produced, and he
asked whether he made that AFFIDAVIT and answered in
tho Affirmative. He said II was drawn up by Charles
0Conor at his house, he had been requested TO call by
him; did say anything about making restitution OF
the money he had taken; said nothing about the in
dictments against him; nothing OF the kind had been
said by any connected with the prosecution; MT
o'Conor wrote down the statement he gave him. he
did prepare the adavit in his presence; witness
had a copy OF the affidavit before he signed 1t: there
two copies-a written and printed copyi he ala
not swear to the written copy; he made
some slight correction and then swore to it; he
being prosecuted for the money he had unusty taken
the city now and he did not think he ought TO say
anything about it,
Judge Westbrook faid he must answer the question,
and he said he thought he had not taken anything I'M
justly from the city.
O. How much property have you now' A. Less
than $50 900 worth.
O. Is this all IN your name or your wilesr A. III IL
in my name.
Witness them upon being rigdly cross examined as
what became OF the property he acquired
during his connection with the Ring confessed that
large amount OF property transferred and retrans
ferred, to avoid its being taken on execution In
conversation with Mr. Tweed about raising his bills
witness said he could not the name OF lngerso,
Watson Co.; he then said, 'Use the name of lnger-
soil 4 Co., II would mako difference;
witness then told him that Mr. Woodward
said tho bills must be raised thirty-hve per
cent-twenty-ave Tor him Nwecd) and ten for
Connolly; at another meeting he gave Tweed a memo
randum of the warrants and gave him his twenty i've
per cent he said, 'Mr Tweed, have something for
said another tme he Tweed he said the bills
should be raised htyhve per cent instead Of thirty
per cent Tweed said that rather heavy, but to do
the best he could with the people over here he met
Tweed again after at his Office he said he should
use the name Of Boiler Smith in making out his bills,
again Tweed witness asked him about
those bills of Miller and Garvey and Tweed
said, 'You see King and fix the percentage"
Tweed said II would cost o great deal OF money
to get the bills audited; witness said he sup
posed il would; this in the fore part of the
year 1871 this all that said between them
this subject he cd all the bills he had De
was then shown the thirty five warrants made out in
fictitious Names and questioned TO the reason
why he made the Endorsements so different in hand
writing he said TO make appear all right in the bank
He then shown these warrants singly, and asked
to tell how much each and every bill was-what
should have been properly and fairly charged
As this line OF examination was proceeded with the
witness became amusingy forgetfdl ABOUT amounts,
dates every essential particular OF the bills He
didn't know what the bills were for, or whether
they were anything not and his sharp inter-
locutor piled him with questions, the unfortunate
chairmaker became very nervous In regard TO the
money sent TO Albany he said that Mr. Watson told
him the Boss wanted s., 000, 600.
Edward Hagan who was with Deputy Sheriff Dun
ham Mr. Tweed's house when tho latter escaped, was
called during the day, he had besiness calling him
out of town He said the last words he heard Tweed
utter were 81 guess I'll go up and the old lady"
His story substantially the same as that already
given in the HERALD.
