GRAVE CHARGES.
fhs Executive committee of the Boa'd
OF Dsrccsors Of Hollywood cemetery
Wake an Inscsftgation,

For some time past there have beer
rumors Of an unsavory sort concerning
the conduct Of Mr.. James @ kecfc, late
keeper Of Hollywood cemetery.
These rumOrs hal perhaps something
TO do with the defeat Of Mr.. o 'Keeie for
the position Of kccper-a place he had
held formore than a score Of years-and
the election of Mr.. John h. Hooper in
his stead.
Tho executive committee Of the
board Of directors Of the Hollywood
Association is composed of Messrs A..
Bargamin. l.. -. Starkc. and O. O.
Owens. These gentlemen have been
giving much attention TO their work.
and have been examining into the
alleged charges against Mr.. o Kecfe.
Yesterday morning a TINES reporter
saw Mr.. Anthony Bargamin. and from
bim ELECTED the following facts he said
that the books showed that Mr.. o Keefe
had upon his payroll the name Of a
man who had been dead for number
OF years, and the amount drawn as
salary was 81 50 per day.
Upon investigation Mr. Bargamin as
certaiDed these facts. and Mr.. O'Keefe. /
in explanation Of them. stated that be /
had appointed the dead man < son 10 |
take the fathers place. and that he had /
never erased the name of the father
from the payroll. but had paid the son
the money. On further investigation.
the man alleged 10 be the son of his
father denied that fact, and in proof of
this assertion stated that his name was
not the same az that of the dead man.
and he furthermore declared that he
had never drawn more than dollar per
lay until short time since, when he
was given Sl.25.
The committee are probing these
;harges. ana Will slit them TO the bot
ON. There were other charges made,
With which Mr.. Bargamin said the
had nothing 10 do.
The public feels great interest i'm all
hat concerns Hollywood. and will {
wait the developments of this case
With great interest. Already the mat ]
er is being talked about "a great deal,
nd comments of different sorts in =
ulged i'm.
The committee will, doubtless. at an I
arly day. prepare and submit 10 the
