TARRYrowS, July - 1877.
Hon. CHARLES s. FAIRcnrLD. Attorney General, &C. -
In my letter OF the 10th ! detailed inside view of
the confession plan developed under the direc-
ton OF Mcssrs Townsend aud John Kelly tor
The release OF Tweed. The recklessness of
his plo, and my growing distrust or what
,ver Tweed said promised caused me to overhaul
md examine everything from new standpoint 1t
aad been conceded the first that the surrender of
properly ought leave him something 10 support his
old age The amount he Id abroad by his son never
stated but it was claimed to DO but an inconsdor-
iple sum. On rc-examInng the long lists OF
his disbursements ! found no satisfactory re-
sult MS 10 what Tweed had done with all his property
An amount sufficient 10 cover bail Tor million had
been transferred To Mr.. Twocd's son. Richard still
abroad, making probably a level value oil two
Millions double the oaD from real estate alone The
vast blocks Of Ere, Central aud other stocks left
no trace IN the present exhibit OF his assets.
AS to the fraudulent conversion of his
real estate he mado good sales OF that in flush times
before the panic Very little examination Of the facts
showed this 4 gentleman in tho highest ranks oil
social and business control in the city, whose
send you in tho margin, called my attention
10 the manner in which Tweed's real estate
had been scquestered He fabricated what
called dummy mortgages, ana nau tnem ped
died in the Market the buyers taking Thorn, to regis
Ter In good faith, when they sold. The fee
then got rid what could be had for it, the
transaction time took the appearance of ruinous
foreclosure sacrifice HIS agents made secret OF
this process, bat boosted OF it. To all APP
pearances the property was gone But
questioning as 10 where the money rnieed
vent TO- they SAID TO Tweed in person, and he put 1t in
ais breast pocket, keeping bank book trust
count show for 1t, Personally finally he made
away with all these vast sums, leaving record and
offering no exp anaiion whatsoever
rwEED's LEGAL FEES DISBURSEMENTS
had looked up between $l5O,oOo and 100000 IN
checks, which he SAID comprised his legal disburse
mcnts for counsel fees He claimed 10 have spent
much more illegiiimately on pmps, courtesans, bull
lies and detectives MS Investigations about
and jurcs, and his efforts block or corrupt the
channels of justice Mr. Field had received $50 900
and his son, attorney. $1,000; whic bills for the
same amounts from those counsel remDlu unpaid.
Tho average Of other fees were less, ranging from
S., 600 to $4,000, and comprised about a dozen IN
New YORK and many in Albany, in the interior
Of tho State at smaller sums All this would not nb
serb hts colossal pluDder He could not make up half
million TO be charged OF in this channel
ANOTHER CASH.
There dental IRON the first as to his having
some hoard Of this kind Without adverting to
Dewey Dcvnn or his immediate family here whom
you might not care to encroach upon. took up one
OF the checks exhibited TO you among his ''asscts"
Tor $4,000 and Endorsed by woman. Having
asked Tweed as 10 this person, he frankly said that
this was but small traction Of what had gone in
that channel SO, upon inquiry, found she bad at
one TINE been his concubine and was now seaed 10
Tom Fields in Canada. Her gains at the last haul had
been 800 900 in bonds This sum paid her by the
woman VINO became her successor. And TINS

wanted and could NOT from Ny. Townsend, genu-
me conf cssionn by Tweed Ii was a journal Kept By
hor OF all the ffee disclosures OF rwecds confluence
which she was shrcwd enough to gather during her
Term his mistress, and which her successor now
holds. Tom Fields openly boosted OF this settlement,
The details being well known to Twced's associates
