dozen of these cases in which the district
attorneys Office had brought suit, or with
which he was familiar, there was not a
single one in which any peculation was
charged, the shortage arising from disputed
accounts. The case of Sidney Luce had
been settled some weeks ago. the money
having been kept in a box all these years
for the government, in return for which no
interest was charged on it. In the case
against James c. Braden. suit having been

Mr. LAWYER also alluded to the suit against
Henry e. Burbank. saying that the de-
PENDANT was both willing and able to pay
what ne owed the government. if he owed
anything. and this it required time to ascer-
tain. A transcript of the account from the
department books. Mr.. LAWYER said, is

Osborne's bids before they were
cpened by the committee. He there
fore asked that a committee
OF three be appointed to investigate the
matter. The president accordingly ap-
pointed Inspectors Williams, Gilbert and
Schumacher. The matter was treated with
out much seriousness. When the bills were
read for allowance or rejection Mr.. Gilbert
objected to the Pound bill for printing,
chiefly on the ground that for some things
he had made OyerchargeS. Mr.. Berlandi
became quite spirited about the matter and
declared that the reason why Mr.. Gilbert
made his objection was that he thought he
(Berlandi) had pecuniary interest in the
bills. He denied this. MI. Gilbert de-
clared that that was not the reason that he
made objection. and followed this up by
giving his reason. which was, that Mr..
Pound had heretofore made excessive and
unjust charges for work that he had done
for the board. The bills were all passed,
including Mr.. Pounds, and the board ad-
