toned having subsidized the Albany Ar.
gus and JoIlHdl, or mentioned the name Of
Edward P. Apgar, Assistant Secretary Of
State, Tweed replied that he had not Spe.
cially mentioned these parties, but he
offered TO become witness in any suit In
which he might be called, and to give
evidence Of numbers Of fraudg upon the
city aud State Treasuries which he did
not then recollect. He would, however,
snbStantiate all he: :had said.
He can produce checks and letters in
support oi his assertions. One letter con-
graduated Tweed on his personal Victo-
ries and the success ol his party, which
letter he said would be good thing for
the journal people next year. Regarding
the explanation off P. Apgar concern
ing his relations with Tweed, the witness
had read letter from Apgar, in 1870,
stating that he was Ia debt for board,
clothes, &C., and 0ked Tweed to add to
many former favOrs by procuring him
payment Of his salaiy, SO that he (Apgar)
could liquidate his clothes and board
bills.
Other letters we're also read by Tweed,
showing that Wm. Cassidy, Of the argus,
had sought appointments from him and
that Hastings had expressed very warm
sentiments, Tweed repeated his state
ment that he paid s65, 600 to the Board Of
Aldermen Of this city to pass the resolu.
tiOn authorizing the appropriation by the
city OF $l,5O0,000 for the bridge. The
money was paid and witness got his share
from Henry G. Murphy.
This was in 1870, and Connolly also
got his percentage; and witness knew that
Kingsley, who had supervising control Of
the bridge, had an interest in the quarries
which were TO furnish the stone. He knew,
because he wRntedthat himself, but found
kinSsley was too strong Tor him.

The successive Increases taken yearly
from 1874 were l,T6G, I,l23 and !, ,72O. Il
il not clear why there was sudden
check TO the increment between 1876 and
