A Heavy Deficit in the Boston City
Treasury.

BosroN. Mass, October Is. The
Boston Herald of to-day has a startling
article. covering several columns, giving an
account of heavy deficit by John A. Wood
ward, a trusted clerk in the city treasurer's
office. The defalcafions extend over series
of years, and the money has been abstracted
principally from the sinking fund of the civ.
Mr.. C. II. Dennie, city treasurer, puts the
matter in this way; The business of the de-
partment had grown to such proportions that
II became necessary for the treasurer to have
some one to help him in drawing checks on
busy days, and Woodward was permitted to
do so, with the full knowledge and consent
Of the committee on the treasury. In this
way he was able to cover up his tracks for
three years, and he SO manipulated the ac-
counts that no one would suspect that anything
was wrong in them. The sinking funds do not
lose dollar by the deficiency. 1t is very
evident that the cash of the city account was
taken by Woodward. and the hele made was
covered up by these checks on the sinking
funds. The loss, therefore, is against the
city account. What action will be taken in
the premises it is difficult TO predict. Every
year since 1876 the accounts of the depart
ment have been examined by the treasury
committee and pronounced correct. Whether
the government can go responsible Is a matter

the stolen money on a woman named Amy
knowlton, an actress. He was young man
about 80 years of age OF supposed unexcep-
tionable character. He made his escape be-
fore the deficit was discovered, and his pres
ent whereabouts are unknown.
From disclosures made it appears that
Woodward's first dereliction was June Is,
1876 less than year after his appointment
as cashier, when he drew check on the sink
ing fund for Sl3 1000, but this he restored a
week later. His next venture was January
5, 1877, when he drew q check for So, 200.
having covered his tracks successfully by
means of transfer from one account to an
other He at various times thereafter COW
cred Deficiencies of $4,000, 200 and
$50, 900, until the total reached $50 900, be-
sides some deficiencies amounting 20 few
hundred dollars in his petty accounts. The
sinking funds do not lose a dollar. 1t is evil
dent that the cash of the city account was
taken by Woodward and the whole mode is
covered up by the checks of the sinking fund.

The Bangor Wing says that a young man
named Pettingill, of North Bangor who has
hoeu troubled with insanity at times during
,bs mast wear, was in the station house Sum
d,v. He has been employed at some of
,he Auburn shoe factories, but the managers
finding that he was unfit for work finally sent
him home. Since his arrival in Ban
oor he has been quite violent at times,
and on Saturday afternoon he was captured on
the street by some of the young men in the
,eighborhood, who brought him down to the
station. Sunday a physician was called to
examine him and he pronounced the patient
insane. He talks considerably about the
Elliot murder, and his father says that his
mind seems to have been affected by the
murdered mans remains, WHICH he viewed
a, the station house. Previous to these at
tacks he was rather religiously inclined, but
now he is exceedingly profane ip his CONVEX
,ation. He will probably be sent to the Asy-
lum at Augusta at once.
