ANOTHER FRAUD.
I'm appropriate appointment for Rhues to
Make.
From the New York Sun.
Mr.. Schofeld was member of that noted
fraternity of legislative jobbers whose names
were found inscribed on the books of Cakes
Ames, as shareholders in the Credit Mobilier
fraud. Like the rest of them, he swore Wig
orously that he held no stock and never had
the least interest in the corrupt concern.
They were all smitten with paroxism of
virtue when the scandal was first revealed in
Tee Sun, and, after the the investigation was
ordered, they combined to swear Cakes
Ames down, and would have succeeded but
for his diaries, that branded the traitors with
rank perjury, added to glaring venaGty.
Mr.. Scho6eld appeared before the commit
tee on the 10th of January, 1873, and made
statement under oath, remarkable for cum
ming evasions and technical pleas. He told
of his intimacy with Ames, their boarding
in the same house, and his dealing in s'se-
curities" which Ames controlled. When it
came to the Credit Mobilier, he was quito
mixed, as the following extracts from his
| testimony will show:
| told him l thought would take the thou
sand dollars of it. told him would get the
money and see him again. Before anything
was done, however, was called home, and did
not return until some days after New Years.
Some time after, when met Mr.. Ames, and
| spoke about getting him the money, he said he
| thought was too late; as did not give him
the money, he supposed had abandoned it,
and he thought it was all sold, but could give
him the money then, and he could ascertain
and took his receipt. This was the last of
January. He subsequently informed me that
he could get the stock, but it was a large block,
and he would have to get it divided.
Either at this time or soon after (the last of
January, 1869, told him had concluded not
to take the stock.
By the chairman:
| @. We're any dividends received on this
stock by you? A. During the time he had
my money think no dividends were declared
by the company. If there were any, I have
no recollection of receiving them in that form.
In answer to the question of Mr.. Merrick he
said:
II never had the Credit Mobilier stock at all,
and never considered myself as having any in
terest in the corporation"
Bear in mind the date given by Mr.. Soho
field, Esthe last of January, 1862 and then
note what Mr.. Ames swears to, not on mem
DRY, but from the record, as follows:
Witness then produced the following entry
| from his memorandum book:
1883.
| WEDNESDAY, Jan. 20.
Received of Glenni W. Scho-
| field, check on sergeant-at
arms S7OS 81
10 coupons, $50 cost $3.50 90
| Less per cent. ............ II 5U
$1,041 90
''To be invested in ten shares of the Credit
Mobilier of America, as trustee by me, No. 346."
| Below this is memorandum which reads thus
FEB. l, 1868-Delivered to Hon. GLENN W.
Schofeld, certificate No. 346. for 10 shares
Credit Mobilier, bot. for his account
Thus, at the very time Schofeld swore
che had concluded not to take the stock,''
and "never considered himself as having
any interest in the corporation he is found
investing" with Ames, or rather going
through the forms, for the dividends already
known to be declared and others to be de-
clared far more than Offset the money thus
nominally put in as blind. He delivered
| the ten shares also. as the contemporaneous
entry proves, though Ames was willing to
give him the benefit of imperfect memory.
| When pressed, however, he was more ex-
plicit.
Q.-That was on the 29th of January, (the
first entry above), your first entry shows.
This entry, dated the LIST of February, is writ
ten Immediately underneath, and states that
you delivered him the certificate. Do you re-
member whether you did or not. A. No, sir;
| but I presume should not haze made the entru
| If I had not.
Then came the settlement of this transaction
which is to the point:
@. Is there any other entry in relation to Mr.
Schofeld? Al think there is I find the
following
Sunday Feb. 8.
Reached Washington from n Y
Did Glenni w. Schofeld one bond. :. 81, 900
10 shares stock 900
| Received of G. W. schoteld, for balance due
on his bond o,e1' his dividend, 1888, and in
dorsed the same on my receipt.
Gle took 81, 900 bond and the difference
between the bond and the 80 per cent. he paid
you? A.-Yes, sir.
Q.-so that was equivalent to his taking his
80 per cent. dividend? A.-Yes, sir.
Besides this, he received a check for 5000
from Ames on the sergeant-at-arms as cash
| divided, on June 1868. These extracts de-
monstrate that Hayes has selected register
of the treasury eminently qualified to adorn
the fraudulent administration.
