In the examination of William NJ Tweed be-

that he wanted the documents of the supervisors

names OF parties who gave corrupt bills. Nearly
every person who furnis ed supplies had friend
IN the ring. The supervisors directed said friend
to add 10 per cent on the BILL and this percentage
was kept by the ring. Up to 1870 this percentage
drifled entirely into Tweed's hands. He said that
be made arrangements with Ingersoll, Watson e.
Co. and c. Carney for percentage. The bills
were raised, 20 per cent of which Is per cent
went to the ring. During the last few years
Cummings approved certain bills and when paid,
handed the percentage over to witness. The six
supervisors who received it divided it, giving l-2
per cent to each. The construction of the court
