The Board seems to have talked it over in ses-
sion, aud thereupon its records disappeared
from its own safe and have never been reeov
cred. Then two or three members of the Board
hastily eonned over small part of the Con
troller's evidence and as hastily had the Secre-
tary accused and arrested. The District-At-
torney, General Catlin, declared that he was not
ready To prosecute at the time, and he
finally forced To abandon ii half made up case,
while the accused man got away with the con-
gratulatiOns of his accusers and prosecutors.
Thereupon the Controller and District Attorney
more deliberately finished and compiled their
evidence, and then rearrested the secretary
a nominal charge of embezzling 100000.
The committing juuge held him in $4,000
bail, leaving clear margin OF 1907 900 to the
alleged delinquent if he chose to run away ,
This suggestion of flight does not appear to
have moved him, and it was not until the ever
polite Board of Education had publicly in
formed him as well as the community Mt large

whether the District Attorney or Corporation
Counsel was prosecutor; or whether the secre-
tary or the brOther-in-l law was the accused

been urged to take hand He probably will
yet have to do So. and then, if not before, the
accused, however numerous, will probably feel
safe from all harm, for in this particular in
