ILLEGAL THROUGHOUT.

The Gilman Compromise and the
Treasury-Every Step I'm the Pro.
ceedinE in COntraventiOn of the
Law-SOme New Facts I'm the Deal
Developed.
1t now appears that not only is the criminal
case against William II. Ottman still standing
on the docket, but tho two civil suits are still
pending, one In Alexandria and tho other
here. Just before the alleged compromise
was effected by the Department OF Justice the
Solicitor of the Treasury Department made q
request 10 the Secretary for special attorney
to prosecute the civil suits, every condition
being then favorable for speedy con-
clusion with result certain In favor
OF the Government No notification
side Of the Department Of Justice that any
compromise has been made, nor was any no
tice of the Intended action given to the Treas
-ury Department. The officials OF this branch
OF the Government are positive In their decla-
rations that the compromise Is not binding
upon 1t, and that so far as the financial por-
tion OF the programme is concerned 1t is not
legally carried out without the consent OF Sec.
retary Folger. The civil case, 1t is claimed,
belongs exclusively to the Treasury Depart
ment, no steps beyond the energetic prosecu-
tion being possible without consultation with
the Secretary.
The money is said to have been taken from
the Treasury Department last October by
Major Thomas p. Morgan, the District Com.
missioner, and turned over to Attorney Gen
eral Brewster. The latter covered $4,000
Into the Treasury again the next day, retain.
Ing $1,000 for division among the attorneys,
presumably Bliss and Crowley, although
neither name appears on the paper. The
whole fund was originally In the custody OF
the police property clerk, but on the resigna-
tion of Mr.. Curtis an Illegal transfer was made
to the chief of police, who subsequently
deposited 1t In the safe deposit vaults.
From there 1t was transferred to
the Treasury as special deposit In tho name
OF Commissioners Dent, Morgan and Twlning
mo more legality being possessed by this
transaction than the other, the custody of all
property stolen or taken from thieves being by
law vested In the property clerk, who Is
bonded for the safety of such matters. The
Commissioners bond could not be held re-
sponsible for this part in this relinquishment,
as the custody was not legally in them.
AS before stated, the Attorney. General had
no right to authorize the compromise, but that
duty, by section 370 Of the Revised Statutes,
devolyed upon the Solicitor of the Treasury,
or that at least, in accordance with this section,
the approval of the Solicitor Of the Treasury Is
necessary.-I0 -I0ddy's Post
