coupon frauds in the finance department.
Of the city government, by which the city
was swindled out of $3.50, 900. Inspector
Byrnes arrested Thomas Enos, charged
with receiving stolen goods. Enos had
been regarded as a gentleman Of means.
He was an intimate friend Of William B.
Carroll, late coupon clerk Of the finance
department., through whose death the
frauds were brought to light. Enos was
the man who sold the coupons. It is sup
posed he received the coupons from Car
roll. and perhaps also some from others
in the Comptroller's Office, whose names
have not yet been made public. The police
followed Enos two months before capture.
Inspector Byrnes says there is now . fair
prospect that all the guilty persons will be
brought to justice. Carroll shared in the
proceeds of the sale of the coupons with
Enos. The others doubtless received q
share, and in the course of time it will be
found out who did. Enos said nothing
regarding the matter. He is 81 years old,
and never was connected with the Comp
t~roller's or any other public Office.
